GUYS, THOSE ARE THE EXAMPLES OF NARRATIVE TEXTS DO YOU HAVE THE SIMILAR STORIES FROM YOUR HOME TOWN? PLEASE MENTION IT…

HOW DO WE DISTINGUISH THIS TEXT FROM THE OTHER KINDS OF READING TEXTS? WELL, LET’S SEE THE GENERIC STRUCTURE

NARRATIVE TEXT The generic structures of the text: Orientation : It sets the scene and introduces the participants (it answers the questions; Who, What, When and Where) Complication: A crisis or a problem arises. It usually involves the main characters. Resolution: A solution to the problem (for better or worse). Main characters find a way to solve the problem.

NARRATIVE TEXT Other generic structures of the text: Evaluation: (optional) a step back to evaluate the plight (the narrator’s viewpoint) Coda: (optional)Changes of the characters or lesson/value of the story Re-orientation: (optional)

Here is the example of narrative text

The Ox and the Colt Orientation One day an ox and a colt arrived at the water hole at the same time to drink. For a few minutes they stood and stared at each other. Finally the ox spoke. “ Surely you’ll want me to drink first, my young friend, for I’m many years older than you. ” “Should I let you go first merely because you’ve grown old? ” asked the colt. “The world today belongs to the young. After all, young people haven’t made as many mistakes as your generation has!” Such disrespect made the ox angry, but he tried not to show it. “Then certainly, you will respect me because I’ve experienced more of life than you, ” said the ox.

complication But the colt argued, “Do you think you’ve experienced more than I only because you have lived longer? You forget that the world has changed. The young today face more in a few years than you faced in a decade in the years of your youth, ” said the colt. “Then honor me for what oxen have done trough the years!” the ox demanded. “ And what have oxen done that’s been so great? ” “They’ve tilled the fields of the kings!” the ox cried. “Have they? ” replied the colt. “ You’ve forgotten that horses have carried the kings themselves on their back for centuries. Really, all of your arguments so far have made me laugh!” Then if I haven’t persuaded you with my words, ” shouted the ox angrily, “maybe I’ll convince you with this!” he put down his head and began to paw the earth, ready to charge.

complication resolution “So you want to fight! You’ll be sorry!” exclaimed the colt. And he reared back, anxious to accept the challenged of the ox. Just the colt saw something out of the corner of his eye. As he looked up, so did the ox. There they saw several vultures, circling overhead, waiting for the kill. The colt brought his feet down to the ground and said to the ox, “I do believed, sir, that we’ve overlooked a fundamental fact here. It appears that there may be room enough for both of us to drink here at the same time. ”

resolution “I think, friend, you may be correct, ” replied the ox. Then as he looked toward the waterhole, he added, “Yes, in fact, I’m sure you are right. ” And so they drank at the waterhole together. Later as they went their separate ways, the vultures flew away. The end…
