Have you read an anecdote?
Have you ever retold a
personal experience to
someone? How do you find
recalling past experiences?

We are fond of sharing humorous
experiences in life to our family
members and friends. We might not be
aware that we are already sharing
stories like anecdotes all day, every day.
•An anecdote is a short entertaining or
interesting story about a real incident

Anecdotes tell about a variety of
stories and tales, since they can be
about any topic under the sun. It is a
short story about a real person or
event which usually intends to make
the listeners laugh or ponder over a
topic (Your Dictionary 2020).

For example, if a group of learners
tell about their favorite pets, and one
learner shares a story about how his
dog cuddles every time he comes
home from school, then that learner
has just imparted an anecdote. Let's
look at how John Jack Wigley made
use of anecdotes in his memoir

HOME OF THE
ASHFALL (an excerpt)
by John Jack G.
Wigley

Let’s explore
some of the
purposes of
anecdotes:

1. To Bring Cheer
Stories pop up anywhere and these
are just sometimes making people
laugh to brighten their mood. Here
is an example of an anecdote
meant to look back on happy
memories:

• At the dinner, a Grade
11 learner shared his
story on his first day at
school when he got lost
and attended a wrong

2. To Reminisce
In most anecdotes, people are talking about
their experiences in the past.
They try to look back on moments in their lives
and share the joy of that
time with others. Here is an example of an
anecdote with a hint of
reminiscence:

• A mother tells her children a
story about her life in the
province when she was
teenager.

3. To Caution
Sometimes, just giving rules for
individuals is not effective. Sharing
to them frightening stories of
dangers can be helpful for them to
realize the possible consequences
of their actions. Here is an example

• Before beginning a lecture
on not following traffic rules, a
father tells his son an incident
of collision that caused many
lives due to ignoring traffic
signs.

4. To Persuade or Inspire
Sometimes, people share stories on
how they surpassed their struggles in
life. These, most of the time, give
encouragement to others who have
been in similar situations. The message
usually conveys successes in life as a
fruit of hard work. Here is an example
