NARRATIVE TEXT (part II)

Ada part II nya begini mengingatkan saya pada lagu Rihanna - Love The Way You Lie part II

LOL.

Okaay skip! Start seriously!

At 1^st cemester I already written about “narrative text”. But I’m going to remind you some of them. I add some parts that not already before. Here we go!

 Generic Structures:

 Orientation - Evaluation (optional) - Complication - Resolution

1.      Orientation: it is about WHO, WHEN, and WHERE the story happened.

2.      Evaluation: is optional; it is usually used to make the story more interesting.

3.      Complication: it is about the conflict or the big problem of the story. Complication is the part of the story in which there is a conflict among the characters of the story (it is possible to make more than one conflict in a complication), and it is the climax of the story (the big problem in the story). A story can have more than one complication.

4.      Resolution: it is the solution of the problem. It can be a happy or sad ending. In Resolution, the solution or the way out of the conflict/ the big problem must be written.

Coda: it is the change of one of the character or two, or the meaning of the story that can be caught as a moral value of life.

The grammatical features of narrative text are:

·         Use specific nouns: Romulus, Remus, a mother wolf

·         Use adjectives which form *noun phrases: their wicked uncle, the beautiful girl, the ugly duckling

·         Use time connectives and conjunctions: then, before, that, soon

·         Use adverbs and adverbial phrases: to the river bank, at the edge of street

·         Use action verbs: grabbed, picked up, walked

·         Use saying verbs: said, told, promised
