A sample of narrative essay
A Journey of Self-Discovery[P1]
I had always considered myself an adventurer, but nothing
could have prepared me for the journey of self-discovery that awaited me during one unforgettable
summer in the Appalachian Mountains. With the scent of pine in the air and the
sound of a distant stream trickling through the forest, I embarked on a solo
hiking trip that would change my life forever[P2] .
The sun had just begun to peek over the horizon as I set foot on
the trailhead. The Appalachian Trail stretched out before me, a winding path
through dense woods and rugged terrain. It was the start of a week-long
adventure into the heart of nature, far away from the noise and chaos of the
city. [P3]
As I hiked deeper into the wilderness, I encountered a
variety of challenges. Steep inclines tested my endurance, while narrow trails and
rocky terrain demanded my full attention. Each day brought new encounters with
wildlife, from curious squirrels to majestic deer. [P4]
But it wasn't just the natural world that I discovered.
Along the way, I met fellow hikers who shared their stories and wisdom. Among
them was
Sarah, a seasoned backpacker with a warmth that belied her tough exterior. She
became a friend and mentor, teaching me valuable survival skills and the
importance of embracing solitude in the wild. [P5]
One evening, I found myself lost in the dense undergrowth.
Panic set in as I realized that I had strayed far from the trail. Darkness
fell, and the forest came alive with eerie sounds. It was a terrifying experience, but it
forced me to confront my fear and find my way back to the trail, ultimately
strengthening my resolve and self-reliance. [P6]
In the quiet moments by the campfire, I reflected on my journey. The solitude and
challenges had stripped away the layers of distraction and noise that had
defined my life. I realized that the true adventure was not just in the
wilderness but within myself. I had discovered my inner strength and a newfound
appreciation for the natural world. [P7]
As
I completed my journey and returned to the familiar world of the city, I
carried the lessons of the Appalachian Mountains with me. The adventure had
taught me the importance of perseverance, the value of human connections, and
the beauty of embracing the unknown. Lost and found, I had discovered not only
the wilderness but also the depths of my own soul[P8] .

मेरो आँत काप्दा काँपेका रातहरू

जमेको खोला उदाङ्गो पारी
बिसकुन रछ्यान छर्दे जाँदा
हत्केला तिमी टिप्दै आयौँ
हत्केला कति फुटे होलान्
मेरुदण्ड ती चर्केका होलान्
दाइँको मियो झैँ अटल तिमी
दुःखको पहाड पग्लेर आयौ
सपनी तिम्रा राखेर थाति

a bold wish
Step by step, he edged further ahead, and between each one he paused to decide exactly where he should put his foot.(Page 224).

the conequences "I'm not touching you! You mustn't bite me! You know I'm
not touching you!"
5. Learning
from mistake He thought first of trying to jump it, but decided he couldn't be
sure of landing accurately on the narrow band of yellow on the other side. He took
a deep breath, lifted one foot, and inch by inch he pushed it out in front of
him, far far out, then down and down until at last the tip of his sandal was
across and resting safely on the edge of the yellow. He leaned forward,
transferring his weight to his front foot. Then he tried to bring the back foot
up as well. He strained and pulled and jerked his body, but the legs were too
wide apart and he couldn't make it. He tried to get back again. He couldn't do
that either. He was doing the splits and he was properly stuck.(Page 225).(Page

The Oval POrtrait
The story begins with an unnamed narrator taking refuge
in an abandoned chateau. As he explores the rooms, he becomes fascinated by a
portrait of a young woman hanging on the wall. The painting depicts a beautiful
woman with a mysterious aura, but the narrator notices that the canvas has been
cut to fit an oval frame.
As the narrator examines the painting, he discovers a
book on an easel nearby, titled "The Apparition." The book recounts
the story of the portrait's subject, who was a young and talented artist. He
fell in love with a beautiful young woman and became consumed by his desire to
capture her essence in his art. The artist dedicated all his time and effort to
painting her portrait, neglecting his own well-being and the needs of his wife.
In his obsessive pursuit, the artist requested the young
woman to pose for him continuously, and she willingly complied. She posed day
and night, growing increasingly weak and frail as time passed. Despite her
declining health, the artist was oblivious to her suffering, only focusing on
his artistic creation. Finally, after weeks of constant painting, the artist
revealed the finished portrait to his wife, who was appalled by its lifelike
depiction of her fading beauty. The young woman, exhausted and drained,
collapsed and died.
The narrator is deeply moved by the tragic story and
gazes at the painting in awe. Suddenly, he notices a similarity between the
portrait and his own reflection in a mirror. As he examines himself further, he
realizes that he, too, has been transformed into an oval portrait. The story
ends with the narrator lamenting the fate of the young woman, whose life was
sacrificed for the sake of art.
"The Oval Portrait" is a cautionary tale that
explores the theme of art's power to consume and destroy. It emphasizes the
dangers of pursuing art at the expense of human life and the ethical
responsibility of artists. The story serves as a reminder that true art should
not be at the cost of the artist's own well-being or the lives of others.
Theme
Theme
Ø The theme of the
story is the destructive nature of obsession: the character of the artist who
becomes consumed by his desire to capture the essence of the young woman in his
portrait. This obsession blinds him to the suffering of the woman and
ultimately leads to her death.
Ø The theme of the
story and sacrifice: The young woman in the painting sacrifices her health and
ultimately her life in order to fulfill the artist's obsessive desire for his
art. The artist, in turn, sacrifices his own well-being and neglects his wife
to pursue his artistic vision.
Ø It has the power of
art and its ability to immortalize its subject: The portrait in the story is
described as extraordinarily lifelike, almost as if it has stolen the life
force of the young woman. This highlights the idea that art can capture the
essence of a person but can also extract a heavy toll in the process.
Life philosophy
found in the story
1. The Destructive Nature of
Obsession: The story serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked
obsession. The artist's obsessive pursuit of capturing the essence of the young
woman in his portrait leads to her sacrifice and eventual death. This
highlights the importance of balance, self-awareness, and the recognition of
boundaries in our passions and pursuits.
2. The Impermanence of
Beauty: The theme of the transient nature of beauty is evident in the story.
The young woman's beauty diminishes as she poses continuously for the artist,
and the portrait becomes a haunting reminder of her fading existence. This can
prompt reflection on the ephemeral nature of physical beauty and the need to
appreciate and find meaning beyond superficial appearances.
3. Sacrifice and the Price
of Art: "The Oval Portrait" explores the idea of sacrifice in the
pursuit of art. Both the artist and the young woman make sacrifices for the
sake of artistic creation. The story raises questions about the ethical
responsibility of artists and the potential consequences of sacrificing
personal well-being or the lives of others for the sake of artistic expression.
4. Reflection on the Nature
of Art: The story invites contemplation on the power and impact of art. The
lifelike portrait in the narrative suggests that art has the ability to capture
the essence of a person or moment. It also hints at the notion that art can
extract a heavy toll, raising questions about the relationship between art,
life, and the responsibilities of artists.
Figurative
Device Used in The Oval Portrait
1. Metaphor:
"The portrait, I have already said,
was that of a young girl." (The portrait is compared to a young girl.)
"The painting is now growing dim"
(The painting is compared to a fading light.)
2. Simile:
"The features, although beautiful,
were not those of the usual type." (The beauty of the features is compared
to an unusual type.)
"The eyes were lifeless, and
lustreless, and seemingly pupilless, and I shrank involuntarily from their
glassy stare to the contemplation of the thin and shrunken lips." (The
eyes are compared to glassy stare.)
3. Personification:
"The artist had now touched his work
with the same hand" (Referring to the artist's action as if the work has
been touched by a human hand.)
So with the tinted photograph" (The
photograph is described as having a human-like quality.)
4. Hyperbole:
"The picture grew darker and darker, and
the figures were lost in the gloom." (The darkness intensifies beyond
normal circumstances.)
5. Symbolism:
The oval frame of the portrait symbolizes
the confinement and limitation imposed on the subject.
The book titled "The Apparition"
symbolizes the haunting presence of the subject's spirit within the painting.
