Do you underline or italicize the title in a personal narrative piece?

You italicize the title of a personal narrative piece.

Here's why:

* Personal narratives are considered creative writing. Creative writing pieces, like short stories, novels, and poems, use *italics* for titles.

* Academic and professional writing uses underlining. This includes essays, research papers, and reports.

However, there are some exceptions:

* If you are following a specific style guide (like MLA or Chicago), it's always best to follow their guidelines.

* If you are submitting your personal narrative to a publication, check their submission guidelines for their preferred formatting.

In general, though, you can safely assume that *italics* are the correct format for the title of a personal narrative.
