  3. 3 1. Definition • A narrative paragraph describes an event, feeling or experience in the story form based on the details of the event happened. • A narrative paragraph can be really enjoyable to write and to read. 12345678910

  4. 4 . • Dunbar (1985: 59) in Karim and Rachmadie (1996: 154-155) has pointed out that narration particularizesrather than generalizes; • It deals with concreterather than abstract things. 12345678910

  5. 5 2. Schematic Structure • A narrative moves through a number of stages: • An orientation • The narrator gives information about thesituation of the characters: where they live, the time they live in and what they want. • This information helps to “orient” readers • – to point them in the direction which the writer wants the events of the narration to go. 12345678910

  6. 6 . b) A complication • Something unexpected happens • Or events go wrong for one of the main characters. • The problem has to be solved by at least one of the characters. • But there can be more than one complicating events in a narration. 12345678910

  7. 7 . • In some adventure narratives, the characters, especially the hero or heroine, often have to face one complication after another. • Sometimes, a narration has a crisis in which events reach a point of an emergency situation or climax. • The main characters have to act to save the situation or another disaster will follow. 12345678910

  8. 8 . c) An evaluation • A stage between complication and resolution in which the action is suspended or stopped • So the characters or the writer can comment on what is going on; • Evaluation comments may also be found elsewhere in a narration 12345678910

  9. 9 . d) A resolution • The earlier complication is resolved for better or worse. • A skillful narrator will resolve the complicating events • One of the main characters usually solves the problems introduced in the early part of the narration • And life returns more or less to normal. 12345678910

  10. 10 . e) A re-orientation ora coda • It is rather like the moral at the end of a fable. • This stage is common in spoken narratives and is optional. 12345678910
