In Annie Dillard’s non-fiction narrative essay Total Eclipse, which was taken from the collection called Teaching a Stone to Talk, she gives a detailed description about her experience of witnessing a total eclipse phenomenon with her then-husband Gary and also some thoughts about humanity that she gained from the experience. Unlike many other non-fiction writers, Dillard likes to bring fictional elements to her writing which adds on to the unconventional themes and ideas that she incorporates in her essays.

In the article, “Slow Ideas”, Atul Gawande utilizes personal and historical anecdotes to further strengthen his claims.

After posing a question, Gawande then transitions into explaining the problem through the use of a narrative example.

The moon sat perched in the sky, looking over the broken road as though with a lamp in hand. A bluish light washed the slums in an eerie cast, and the cracked cobbles of the road ran with a ghostly stream. The hem of a black trench coat flapped softly in the wintry breeze, and two columns of buttons ran the length of its torso, flashing like round obsidian mirrors. The man beneath the coat kept his hands burrowed in his pockets, hiding them from the cold air of the lifeless night.

The media exaggerates the lunar effect in many different ways. One of the ways that the media exaggerates the lunar effect is by their being movies involving the lunar effect. To explain farther, "Scores of Hollywood horror flicks portray full-moon nights as peak times of spooky occurrences such as stabbings, shootings and psychotic behaviors".

I became very sure of my quest to become a public health professional during my National youth service Corps (NYSC) year in my home country Nigeria.
