In narrative essays, should I make all the paragraphs narrative?
In narrative essays, should I make all the paragraphs narrative?
For example, the introduction, the body, and the conclusion are all narrative paragraphs.
What if I started the introduction with a descriptive paragraph and the body with a narrative paragraph? Is it still a narrative essay?
What I'm holding in my mind now is that every narrative essay must contain narrative paragraphs only. (Like descriptive essays, which contain only descriptive paragraphs/ argumentative...) Is that true?

So if you were asked to build a wooden house, would you take that to mean that you could not use glass for the windows of fiberglass for the shingles or nails to fasten all the pieces together?
We say a house is a wooden house because it is structurally wooden, not because it contains nothing but wood. We call an essay a narrative essay if it is structurally narrative, not because it contains nothing but narration.
