6. • Narrative text, is an imaginative story to
entertain people.
• In literally, dictionary talked some definition of
narrative, that is :
(1) A spoken or written account of connected events;
a story.
(2) The narrated part of a literary work, as distinct
from dialogue.
(3) The practice or art of narration.

7. • (Narrative bermakna : 1. Sebuah cerita baik
terucap atau tertulis tentang peristiwa-peristiwa
yang berhubungan. 2) Bagian yang diceritakan
dalam sebuah karya sastra, berbeda dengan

• So, if we want to conclude, narrative text is a
text contain a spoken or written story and there
is a series events which interconnected each
other.

9. • Generally, narrative text has 3 components :

the story were solved.

10. • Sometimes, the generic structure of narrative
text can be like this:
1. Orientation, 4. Resolution,
2. Complication, 5. Reorientation.
3. Evaluation,
• “Evaluation” and “Reorientation” are optional;
so that we can use it or not.

Once upon a time, there was a kingdom
named Auretto, all people lived peacefully there.
One of them was Charlita, the king’s daughter who
was assumed as the most beautiful and kindest
Princess of Auretto.
One day, Charlita looked blue. Because of that
her father got confused. “What’s the matter my
beautiful daughter? Why are you so sad?” asked
King Fernando. Charlita was just silent. She did not
say anything.

19. Then, King Fernando decided to make a
competition to cheer Charlita again. After that, the
palace representative announce: “I will make a
competition. The aim is to make my daughter, Princess
Charlita to be happy and laugh again. Everyone who
can do it, will get a prize. It will be held tomorrow when
the sun rises. Sign: King Fernando.”
The following morning, everybody came to the
palace, tried to give their best performance. They
seemed happy and laugh, but not for Princess Charlita.
She was just silent and still looked sad.

20. King Fernando started to give up. No one amused his
daughter. Then, there came a young handsome man. “Excuse
me King Fernando. I would like to join your competition. But,
would you mind if I took Princess Charlita for a walk?” said the
young man gently. “As long as you make my daughter be happy
again, it will totally alright.” said King Fernando. The young
handsome man took Princess Charlita for a walk in a beautiful
blue lake with a green forest around it. Princess Charlita smiled
and looked happy after that. Every body looked happy, too. “I
know why are you so my beautiful daughter. Now, I promise I
will environment green. I regret for always destroying it. Finally,
the environment around the kingdom became so beautiful and
green, full of plants. Then, the young handsome man got a prize
