Some of the essential characteristics of a diary are:
It should be written in chronological order.
The day, date, place, and time of entry in the diary should be included.
A suitable descriptive heading or some hints about the topic written about may be included.
The main body of the diary should be written in a comprehensive manner giving a precise yet complete description of an event, a place, or a person.
It should express the writer’s point of view and lay stress on feelings and emotions rather than on the event itself.
It should be personalised and written in the first person and maybe in the past tense.
The writing should be informative as it is a spontaneous piece of writing.
A signature at the end of the day’s diary entry can be given to authenticate it, and for future reference.
