Narrative  text is a text focusing specific participants. Its social


                       function  is  to  tell  stories,  entertain  the  readers  ad  show  moral  values

                       indirectly. There are many kinds of narrative or story such as fairy tale,

                       folktale,  legends,  myths,  etc.  There  are  several  important  things  to

                       consider when creating a narrative text, namely:

                       a.  Generic structure, which consists of orientation which functions as an

                          1) introduction part of the text; 2) complication, namely the part which

                          explores  the  conflict  among  the  characters;  and  the  last  is  3)


                          resolution, namely the part when the conflict tends to be decreased and

                          ended.

                       b.  Language  features,  which  consists  of  the  use  of  specific  nouns  to

                          mention people and things in the story; the use of adjectives; the use

                          of time connectives; the use of adverbs and adverbial; and the last is

                          the use of past tense.


                          Another function of narrative text apart from entertaining the reader


                       is to convey a moral message indirectly to the reader about everyday life.
