Narrative text,

 Assalamualaikum,

Hii, welcome back to my blog! How are you today? I hope it's fine.. umm, in thi page i want to tell about narrative text!!

Definition,

Narrative Text is a type of text that tells an imaginary / fictional story with the aim of entertaining in a chronologically interrelated manner. As an imaginary story, Narrative Text is not necessarily true, because it is only based on the imagination of a person or group of people whose truth is not proven.

General Structure. To make a Narrative Text, it is endeavored to contain the general structure of the Narrative Text itself, such as:

-Orientation: This section contains an opening paragraph where the characters of the story are introduced. (Contains the place, character, and time to read the story, who and when) (

-Complications: The problem parts of the story begin to develop. (Problems start to arise or begin to occur and begin to develop)

-Resolution: The problem parts of the story begin to be resolved. The problem is resolved, either in a happy "happy ending" or a "bad ending" or bad.

-Coda / reorientation (optional): A section explaining lessons learned from the story.

Characteristic:

-Narrative Text tells a story from the past.

-Use a noun (noun) to replace the animal, person, or object in the story. (The Dwarfs, Carriage, etc) (Dwarves, Carriages, etc.).

-It is more of a folk tale or is already known and developed in the community as a shared story even though it can be retold in different versions of the story. (Malin Kundang / Indonesia: Tanggang / Malaysia)

-The elements of the story consist of time and place settings, story themes, story characters, story atmosphere, conflict and resolution.

-Can be arranged into a simple sequence or composed of several complex sequences.

*) Sequence is a series of statements in which the execution is sequential / coherent. What is found first will be done first and if the order of the statements is reversed it will have a different meaning.

Type:

-Fable (fable): A story that tells about an animal.

-Myth (mite): This story or myth has developed a lot in society and is generally considered to be a factual story or actually happened.

-Legend (legend): A folk tale that tells how the origin of a place exists.

-Folk tale (folk tales): A story that is told from generation to generation so that it becomes a part of community traditions.

-Fairy tales (fairy tales): Folk stories or children's stories which contain elements of the magic / impossibility of the characters in the story and at the end contain moral messages.

-Love story: A love story emphasizes the theme of the story, which is the struggle to get love for the main character.

-Besides that, there are also other types such as: Science fiction, Horror, Mystery, History, Slice of life, Personal experience, etc.

Example:

Fox and A Cat

One day, a cat and a fox were having a conversation. The fox, who was a conceited creature, boasted how clever she was. "Why, I know at least a hundred tricks to get away from our mutual enemies, the dogs," she said.

"I know only one trick to get away from dogs," said the cat. "You should teach me some of yours!".

"Well, maybe someday, when I have the time, I may teach you a few of the simpler ones", replied the fox airily.

Just then they heard the barking of a pack of dogs in the distance. The barking grew louder and louder - the dogs were coming in their direction! At once the cat ran to the nearest tree and climbed into its branches, well out of reach of any dog. "This is the trick I told you about, the only one I know", said the cat. "Which one of your hundred tricks are you going to use?".

The fox sat silently under the tree, wondering which trick she should use. Before she could make up her mind, the dogs arrived. They fell upon the fox and tore her to pieces.

Moral: A single plan that works is better than a hundred doubtful plans.
