How to write a good narrative essay?

I need to write a narrative and an argumentative essay?

• Okay, well, I'd really like for the narrative essay to be one of my own experiences, but because it has to have to have some sort of moral, I'm stuck. I can't think of anything. And with the argumentative/persuasive essay, the problem is finding something I feel strongly about and having enough reasons and support to back up my argument. I really need ideas, both are due tomorrow! Thanks for your help! P.S. I'm in the eighth grade, and both essays have to be 1-3 pages long, with an introduction, at least 3 paragraphs in the body and then a conclusion.

• Answer:

  For your argumentative, you could talk about "Does participation in sports keep teens out of trouble?" Personally, i think it does but from an argument perspective you have to see the good and bad points. Good points - sports keeps teens occupied physically and mentally. esp team sports because teens need to find a sense of belonging and thrive upon being socially accepted. sports can help bridge those gaps. Bad points - talk about games that are pretty rough, like ice hockey and football(and soccer) and talk about violence in sports, how they MAY initiate violence in youths especially off court. These are just some points, hope its helpful!
