NARRATIVE TEXT CHAPTER 8 PART 2
HI EVERYONE !
How are you, I hope you are in good and healthy condition, so this time I will discuss what a Narrative Text is, types, structure, characteristic and examples.
Definition of Narrative Text
Narrative text is one type of text that tells a series of events with a chronological system or interconnected. Narrative text is generally imaginative, aka not real or in the form of the imagination of the author.
Types of Narrative Text
Structure of Narrative Text
In Indonesian, orientation means introduction. So, in the initial paragraph, narrative text usually contains the introduction of the characters and settings involved in the content of the story. In this case, the setting can be the scene as well as the time of the story.
2. Complications
This section will begin to enter the paragraph that tells about the beginning of the problem of an event or incident. Because it is chronological, the problems that arise at the beginning will continue to be a series of long storylines that contain conflict, climax, and anti-climax.
Oh yes, to make it easier for you, here's the arrangement in complications:
Problem, which is a paragraph or sentence that begins to lead to the problem of a story.
Conflict, more complex, after there is a problem, then the story will continue to conflict. In this section, the audience will be curious about what happened between one character and another.
Climax, which is the peak of the conflict which is the main focus in narrative text.
Anti-climax, in Indonesian, this section is also known as conflict reduction. So, the conflict will decrease slowly.
Solution, as the name implies, is a solution, so the paragraph in the solution section will explain the resolution of the conflict that has been described previously.
In this case, complications are divided into three conflicts, namely:
Natural conflict, natural or inter-universe conflict.
Social conflict, conflict between characters or actors.
Psychological conflict, inner conflict or self.
3. Resolution
Resolution is the end of the story or the conclusion of the story. This paragraph can be a further explanation of the solution. In this section, the writer can also describe whether the narrative text that is made will end with a sad ending or a happy ending.
4. Re-orientation
Actually, this structure is not mandatory in narrative text. However, generally the sentences in this paragraph will tell the final condition of the character in the story, or it can also contain lessons and moral messages that can be taken by the reader to be implemented in real life.
Characteristic of Narrative Text
There are several characteristics and characteristics of narrative text that you can use as a reference to distinguish this type of text from other texts. Its characteristics are:
1. Generally, narrative text tells a story that has happened in the past. Usually the narrative text is in the form of stories that are popular among the general public, such as the story of The Mouse-deer and Crocodile, The Rabbit and Turtle, etc. Surely you are already familiar with these two examples of narrative texts in English, right?
2. Narrative text is often divided into several sequels, both simple and complex. That is, there are several narrative texts whose stories are made continuously or continuously from one part to another.
3. As previously explained, one of the most striking features of narrative texts is that they aim to entertain the reader. In addition, there is also another goal is to share experiences with the audience.
Example of Narrative Text
The Fortune Teller
In the big city of Taipei, there lived a man called Lee and his wife Mrs. Lee. Both of them had no children. This made them very sad and unhappy.
One day, Mr. and Mrs. Lee found a baby boy right outside their door. He was crying though wrapped in a blanket. They took that baby into the house and named him Xiao Lee.
When Xiao Lee was a young man, a fortune teller came to Lee’s house. “You should send your son away,” she said. “One day your son will be a thief and cause a lot of trouble for you.”
Mr. and Mrs Lee were extremely sad to hear this. They believed in what the fortune teller said. They gave Xiao Lee some money and clothes and then sent him away.
A couple years later, Xiao Lee was having a meal in a restaurant several miles away from Taipei. He put the bag on the floor right next to his own table. After finishing the meal, he picked up his bag.
“This isn’t my bag!” he thought, “This bag feels too heavy.” He looked inside the bag and found a lot of gold bars. Then he realized someone had taken his bag by mistake and then left another bag.
In the evening, a young man came to the restaurant, “Has anyone seen my bag?” he asked. Xiao Lee was extremely honest, he returned the bag to that man.
The young man thanked him. “You are such an honest man.” He said, “I am going to ask my father to give you a job.” Since young man’s father was a rich merchant, he can gave Xiao Lee a good job.
“But go home first,” he said. Xiao Lee returned to Taipei. Mr. and Mrs. Lee were delighted to see him again. The fortune teller was also there. Xiao Lee told them what had happened.
The fortune teller didn’t know what to say. She left the house without saying anything. Mr. and Mrs. Lee never believed in fortune tellers ever again. Xiao Lee took them to live with him and they live happily.
