Telling a story in essay
I have to write a rhetorical (persuasive essay),- and I was wondering if it would be appropriate to put some narration at the beginning of my introduction for lighthearted humor. I want my essay to be sophisticated but creative at the same time. I want it to stand out in a good way. Is that OK?

The only place that that is appropriate to do is directly at the beginning of the essay as a grabber, but it must be before your thesis statement.
Like say it was on procrastination or something you could say; "Oh I'll just do it tomorrow" I told myself, but when tomorrow came it was a day late and a dollar short. I have always been a procrastinator until that day. I have always thought procrastination helped me to be more relaxed, get more things done, and do things at a higher quality, but just the opposite is true........then thesis.
Do you see what I am trying to say. If you do that as a grabber it's ok , but if you do it after the thesis it is no longer relevant in the essay.
So in short yes you can do that as long as it's at the very beginning of the essay.
Good Luck.

yah, i think that would stand out.
but, i would base your decision on your teacher.
if they're comical and have a sense of humor,
then go for it.
buttt, if theyre straight up- get the job done, no short cuts, straight to the point kind of teacher, i'd hold back.

I have never known it to not be okay to include a little bit of narration while writing an essay, especially an essay of persuasive intent. Of course, don't use too much narration, and it's always best to use nonfiction narration, but you want an eye-catching introduction. Make it interesting, and you should be okay.
