main text types such as, narrative, poetic, and dramatic. Media which can be classified in this category are film, videos, CDs and television show. For instance, literary text mostly discusses more about something unreal or informal things just like poetry or personal story, so it can attract imagination and feeling of the readers or listeners. Through the story which they read from books or watch from films, they can laugh, be sad, be upset, be angry and etc. Another text types is factual text. Factual text such as advertisements, announcements, internet website, current affairs shows, debates, recipes, reports, and instruction. 4 Those texts provide information or ideas, and aim to point out, tell or invite the audience. Factual text generally contains about something which is fact or real rather than the literary text. It describes about the chronological of an event which happens around our environment and explains the reason why and how an event could happen from the beginning to the end. There are several kinds of text based on the generic structure and language feature dominantly used such as Narrative, Recount, Spoof, Report, Description, Procedure, etc. The various texts are called as genre. According to Swales, genre consists of a category of communicative events which the writers share some set of communicative purpose in their writing. 5 In this research, the writer discusses one of genres above that is narrative text. It is one type of texts which is taught in Senior High School level. Students are expected to be able to identify a social function, schematic structure, and linguistic feature of narrative text. The social function is a moral value which is explicit in the story. The schematic structure is the distinctive beginning, middle and ending structure of genre. And linguistic feature is significant grammatical pattern of text. 4 Mark and Kathy Anderson, op. cit., p. 1. 5 John M.
