Review Narrative Text Type
Narrative: the broadest sense is: anything told or recounted; more narrowly, something told or recounted in the form of a story; account; tale, Steve Denning;
Google. Teaching Narrative.Com. Narrative is stories are effective as educational tools because they are
believable, rememberable, and entertaining, Neuhauser; 1993:Google.Narratives and Stories. Com. Besides giving information, narrative has function to amuse,
entertain, and to deal with actual or vicarious experience in different ways: narrative deals with problematic events which lead to crisis or turning point of
some kind, which in turn finds a resolution.

action is located and when it is taking place. b.
Complication: the story is pushed along by a series of events, during which we usually expect some sort of complication or problem to arise. It just
wouldn’t so be interesting if something unexpected didn’t happen. This complication will involve the main characters and often serves to
temporarily toward them from reaching their goal. c.
Resolution: the complication may be resolved for better or for worse, but it is rarely left completely unresolved although this is of course possible in
certain types of narrative which leave us wondering ‘How did it end?’. d.
