Pengertian Narrative Text
Narrative Text is an imaginative story to entertain people (sebuah cerita imajinasi untuk menghibur orang).
Jadi dapat disimpulkan bahwa Narrative Text adalah sebuah teks yang berisi tentang kisah cerita imajinasi dalam tulisan yang memiliki beberapa rangkaian peristiwa yang saling berhubungan.
Rangkaian cerita tersebut dapat anda pahami dalam penjelasan berikut ini mengenai Generic Structure.
Generic Structure of Narrative Text
1. Orientation
It is about the opening paragraph where the characters in the story are introduced.
Dalam penjelasan tentang Orientation ada beberapa garis bawah yang akan membantu anda memahami bagaimana cara membuat sebuah Orientation.
Hal yang pertama yang harus anda tulis dalam sebuah cerita Narrative Text adalah:
Anda perkenalkan terlebih dahulu mengenai tokoh dan karakter masing-masing, lalu berikutnya adalah setting atau tempat dan waktu terjadinya sebuah cerita tersebut.
Hidup ini merupakan sebuah panggung sandiwara dimana setiap kita memiliki peranan dalam topeng masing-masing.
Contoh berikut merupakan tahap pengenalan/ Orientation. Hal ini bertujuan agar pembaca dapat mengenal terlebih dahulu tentang tokoh-tokoh dalam kisah cerita tersebut dengan maksud agar pembaca dapat menggunakan daya imajinasi mereka masing-masing mengenai latar belakang tempat dan kejadian, karena setiap pembaca memiliki persepsi yang berbeda antara yang satu dan yang lain.
Berikut ini adalah penerapan tulisan dalam Narative Text

He was so charming at that time. Nothing last nothing more, they loved each other. As a wise man said that love is in the air when you look something beauty deep down inside.
2. Complication

Saya akan meneruskan cerita di atas untuk bagian ke-2 ini yaitu Complication.

Following the setting sun, they proved that love was gold in this life. They spent their time as together as they did, like a puzzle which has a unique form to complete one part. Falling in love is so quite easy but to be faithful in love. It’s ain’t easy. Gina has a best friend in her apartment. She is Jane. Most of the people said that they were a twin. Tom visited Gina’s apartment to pick her up into the party. Tom was not a good boy in this situation when he met Jane. “This is not a perfect timing”, in his mind. Tom and Gina went to the party. They danced all long night, laugh as like as wine when you get drunk. The day after tomorrow, Tom went to Gina’s apartment but Gina was not at home. Jane opened the door and pleased Tom to enjoy himself. Jane knew that Tom is a boyfriend of her best mate. This is perfect timing Tom as the devil said in his mind. So Tom asked a few questions to Jane and they made a conversation take Jane into his trap. It was not running well, Gina found them in an empty room with romantic love in actions. Shocking was the only thing that expressed in her beautiful face. Running was the best way to survive. It was like a big hole in her chest to stand as Gina’s position. A Broken heart was a signature in her life at that time.

Dalam bagian ini, sedikit demi sedikit, permasalahan dari jalan cerita mengalami titik terang.
Ya.. tak ubahnya seperti Badai yang pasti akan berlalu. begitu pula dengan setiap masalah yang datang dan pasti seiring dengan jalan keluarnya masing-masing apabila kita tetap tenang dan selalu berusaha untuk mencari solusi yang terbaik diantara yang paling baik.

In a state of fragile heart, Tear was a hope that brought into peace in a moment. Gina was so complicated with her feeling. She got lost in a crowd until Jack was as a nice person came and helped her to get up. Jack took her to his home to save her from the cold night. Jack was an artist who loved drawing. Then he asked Gina as a model for his masterpiece. Gina enjoyed every moment with Jack. The next night, Gina took her phone and made a calling for Tom. She said that she was fine.
