“Every secret of a writer’s soul, every experience his life, every quality
of his mind, is written large in his works.” — Virginia Woolf
This anthology presents 50 selected personal narrative essays
by the students of Study Program of English, Faculty of Cultural
Studies, Universitas Brawijaya who were taking Genre Based Writing
Class. The personal narrative essay is one of the three genres that the
students learned and practiced in this class. This book is expected to
give an opportunity for the students to tell their personal experiences
to a wider audience and to get inspired to write more. While reading
the book, the audience will be able to catch a glimpse of what
memorable experiences these young writers have. Some of these
experiences are beautiful, some others are upsetting, scary, or sad,
but all of them have taught an important lesson to the writers.
