Narrative writing tells a story, either briefly or at some length. In a narrative piece of writing, the sequential occurre

51、nce of events is vital.“My First Job” is a short simple narrative passage. In the text, the happenings that make up the episode are arranged in the order of their occurrence.Description is also found in this narrative passage, but here the description is not lengthy. It helps to make the narrative m

52、ore vivid.The writers purpose is to tell us about his frightening and annoying experience in his interview with the headmaster, and about his first job, which was unpleasant.Here is an analysis of the writers techniques:1. Narration of the process of job hunting1) his application for the job2) a min

53、d full of misgivings: no teaching experience, no degree (Ones educational background counts very heavily in job-hunting. The special training or subjects one has had and the degrees or diplomas one has obtained both increase ones value as an employee.)3) The job interview: This is probably the most

54、important aspect of the job-seeking process and the crucial factor as to whether one will be employed.The interview itself is described in detail.a) a meeting with the headmaster, the prospective employer, face to faceb) the writers response to questions (Usually an employer is interested in the edu

55、cation, experience, and special interests and abilities of the applicant.)c) the usual signal to end the interview (The interviewer will let the applicant know when the interview is over. The usual signal is to rise. As soon as the interviewer does so, the applicant should also rise and then leave.)

56、d) the salary question (More often than not, the salary paid for a position at least the general range is known to the applicant before the interview. However, if the salary is not known or if the interviewer does not mention it, the applicant can ask near the end of the interview. The specific amou

57、nt paid will depend upon the qualifications of the applicant.)2. The development of the main ideaThe writers method of developing the main idea is by enumerating specific details relevant to the theme.1) school being a long way from his home2) inconvenient transportation an awkward journey3) hot wea

58、ther4) poor surroundingsoutside the school building busy main road, dusty and full of fumesinside the school building dirty and untidy5) unfavourable impression of the headmaster his untidy study and suit, his strange, distasteful appearance6) terrible teaching set-up a class of 24 boys from 7 to 13

59、, three different levels; compelled to teach two subjects the writer was not good at; required to take the pupils to the Park a mile away to play cricket on Saturday afternoons7) meagre salary8) working under a woman3. The use of descriptionThe writers description of the school, both outside and ins

60、ide, and of the headmasters appearance and his manners, prepares the readers for the unpleasantness of the job interview. The writers careful selection and organization of the many specific details contribute effectively to the primary narrative purpose of convincing the reader of the unpleasantness
