Tingkat Satuan PendidikanKTSP 2006. Those are report text, narrative text, analytical exposition text, spoof text, and hortatory exposition text. In this research,

2.3.1 The Definition of Narrative Text
According to Sejnost and Thiese 2010, narrative text includes any type of writing that relates a series of events and includes both fiction novels, short stories,
poems and nonfiction memoirs, biographies, news stories. In addition, Coffmand and Reed 2010 say that narrative text is described as having several common
components including a setting, plot series of episodes based on goals, attempt, outcomes, resolution or story ending. Furthermore, Anderson 1998 in Zahra
2014 points out that narrative text is a text that tells a story and, in doing so, entertains the audience.
Based on the statement above, it can be concluded that narrative text is a kind of text that tells us about an interesting story happened in the past and its purpose is
to entertain or amuse the readers.
2.3.2 The Generic Structure of Narrative Text
The generic structures of narrative text according to Bima and Yuliani 2010, 75 in PR Bahasa Inggris XI1 are as follows:
1. Orientation It is about the opening paragraph where the characters of the story are
introduced. It talks about the person, time, and place of story. 2. Complication
It brings the rising conflict. It is about what happens next among the participants of the story and where the problems in the story are developed. This phase
introduce the problems existing between or among the participants. 3. Resolution
It comes to a solution for the complication. It is about where the problems in the story are solved and the way a writer ends his story plot. It can be successful
ending or failure one which leads to sad ending story. It can be concluded that there are three components of the generic structures
that can be found in narrative text, namely orientation, complication, and resolution. In addition, Anderson and Anderson 1998 in Zahra 2014 state that
narrative text has five components of generic structures as follows: 1. Orientation
It is an introduction of the text that includes information about who, when, and where.
2. Complication It provides the problems that happen in the story.
3. Sequence of events It shows the reaction of the characters towards the problems.
4. Resolution It is part in which the characters solve the problems.
5. Coda It is an optional part. It tells us about moral value of the story.
From the two opinions above, it is concluded that there is no major differences between those two kinds of generic structure. In this case, sequence of
events by Anderson and Anderson belongs to complication. It is because those two parts tell about the problem of the story. Then, coda belongs to resolution. It is
because moral value of the story can be found in the resolution. Here, the researcher will use the generic structure based on Bima and Yuliani.
