What is Narrative?

A narrative is a kind of text having social function to amuse, entertain and to deal with actual or vicarious experience in different ways. Narratives deal with problematic events which lead to a crisis or turning point of some kind, which in turn finds a resolution, such as in:

• Fairy Stories

• Science Fiction

• Romance

• Horor Stories

• Folktails

• Etc.

Generic Structure

Orientation It is the stage where the narrator gives information about the situation of the characters, what they want, the time and place the story happened. In other words, it answers the questions who, what, when and where. Usually, an atmosphere that makes readers or listeners want to know more is created here.

Complication/problem/crisis It is the stage where a crisis arises. It is usually in the middle of the story to make the story more interesting, as the main character faces problems.

Resolution A satisfying narrative will give resolution to the complication. However, sometimes some narratives let the readers or listeners curious about how the stories end.

 Reorientation It is the stage which returns the listeners or readers to the present and provides a kind of matic summation of the events, rather like the moral value at the end of fables. This stage is more common in spoken narratives, and is optional.

SNOW WHITE

Once upon a time there lived a little girl named Snow White. She lived with her aunt and uncle because her parents were dead. One day she heard her uncle and aunt talking about leaving Snow White in the castle because they both wanted to go to America and they didn‟t have enough money to take Snow White. Snow White didn‟t want her uncle and aunt to do this so she decided it would be best if she ran away. The next morning she ran away from home when her aunt and uncle were having breakfast. She ran away into the woods. Then she saw a little cottage. She knocked but no one answered so she went inside and fell asleep. Meanwhile, the seven dwarfs were coming home from work. They went inside. There they found Snow White sleeping. Then Snow White woke up. She saw the dwarfs. The dwarfs said, “What‟s your name?” Snow White said, “My name is Snow White.” Doc, one of the dwarfs said, “If you wish, you may live here with us.” Snow White said, “Oh could I? Thank you.” Then Snow White told the dwarfs the whole story and Snow White and the seven dwarfs lived happily ever after.
