to each other. Coherence as: kepaduan atau kekompakan hubungan antara kalimat yang satu dengan yang lain dalam sebuah paragraph the unity or
cohesiveness of connection between one sentence and another in a paragraph Soedjito and Hasan :1994. Whereas, Celce-Murcia and Olshtain 2000:8 stated
that coherence depends on: the presence of linguistic devices that strengthen global unity; the patterns and strategies of text development that are very
culturally specific; and the presence of a conventional scheme or organization that is recognizable as generic or specific to a particular communicative purpose and
discourse community.
H. Narrative Paragraph
Paragraph as a group of sentences which contain relevant information about one main or central idea Barli, 1995:15 on his book stated Write Well. A
paragraph itself usually consists of several sentences though it can also sometimes be just one or two sentences.
According to Wignel and Gerot 1994:204, narratives deal with problematic events which lead to a crisis or turning point of some kind, which turn in finds a
resolution. In addition, Hyland 2004:29 argues that social purpose of a narrative text is to entertain and instruct via reflection on experience. Whereas Boardman
and Frydenberg 2002:4 in Faiza Hawa‟s Thesis Proposal 2009 said that a narrative paragraph tells about a story. The events in narrative paragraph must be
ordered according to time. Derewi anka 1995:40 explains “the purpose of
narrative text is to teach or inform, to embody the researcher‟s reflections on
experience, and – perhaps most important – to nourish and extend the reader‟s
imagination. There are some types of narratives that can be applied, such as fairy tales,
adventure, horror, romance, and epic. Those texts are constructed in good reader to make the text seem logical for the readers. It is in line with the focus of
narrative texts which emphasize on a sequence of actions. Since the action has to be done in order, the text organization and elements of a narrative text play
important roles in creating a good narrative text. Narrative text usually begins with an orientation, where the researcher sets the
scene and introduces the main characters and setting the story in time and place. The next stage is a complication stage, in which a problem arises and the
characters have to overcome it. After the problems arise, evaluation stage is needed to evaluate the major events for the characters. The next stage is the stage
in which the characters resolve the problems arising in the complication for better or worse. The stage is called a resolution stage. The last stage is a reorientation or
coda. From the explanation above, the writer defines a narrative text as a text written to consider the reader and it can be fictional story. Narrative text can also
be found as a fantasy story.
