The
Description about Narrative Writing and How to Differ from Other Genres
Narrative writing is writing
which tell the reader about imagination story in the past. Narrative writing is
always focus in specific participants.
The purpose of
narrative writing is to entertain the readers.
A narrative writing has
some generic structure, they are:
1.
Orientation : Introducing the participants and informing the time
and the place.
2.
Complication : Describing the rising crises which the participants have to do
with.
3.
Resolution : Showing the way of participants to solve the crises.
When we write narrative
writing, we usualy use past tense because we tell about past experience or
story.
And
to know the differences between narrative writing and other genres, we
can find it from the following a specific structure of it. There are
five elements that form this structure are:
1. Setting - When and where the story takes place.
2.
Characters – The main character (protagonist) and other important people in the
story
3. Problem -
What challenge does the main character face.
4. Events -
How the protagonist tries solving that problem.
5.
Resolution - How is the problem ultimately solved by protagonist.
From those elements above,the most
important to differ it from other genres is the conflicts. Narrative writing
without conflicts isn’t narrative any more.

My Examination Preparation
One day, there was a girl named Adellina. She was me. I was school in SMA N
1 Seputih Raman, Central Lampung. At that time, I was in third grade. I
though that it was very tired phase during my education. I should prepare all
of the thing to face examination. I
should prepare my examination well. I
would have examination on April, 2012. I still have four months to study hard.
I made a circle on date to know how many days I would have examination. In the
first month, I got courses from my school to add knowladge and remind about the
last materials. The purpose of my courses was to remind about the last subject
or knowladge. I got course after school.
In my course I studied about sains because I was science students. In
the second month I still enjoyed my activity. I went to school at 7a.m
every morning. I never came late to class. My teacher would enter the class at
7.15a.m. My teachers gave many materials for my friends and I. I asked some
questions to my teacher if I didn’t understand about the materials. When I
asked question to my teacher, my friend also asked question one by one. So, the
class would be very crowded. Although the class was very crowded, I and my
friend was very interested about the materials. In the third month I felt
bored and dizzy because I was very tired. How could examination became
important thing that I should pass after I was school for 12 years. I should
get up early morning to go to school and got lesson from my teacher everyday. I
should went home in the afternoon everyday while my home was far enough from my
school. I spent 15 minutes to go school. If I failed in my examination, my
effort would be useless. I didn’t want it happen in my life. I wouldn’t make my
parents sad and angry because of me whereas my parents always reminded me to
study hard and pray to the God for ask God’s blessing. As a result I and my
friend saldom lazy to follow the course. I and my friends never mis the course
although we was very tired and lazy. I didn’t know why it happen to me. I had
made 100 circle of date. It was mean that I didin’t have time to do stupid
thing. I realized that I should do the best for my life. I wouldn’t spend
my time to play. I studied at the school and home. I studied everyday until I
was tired. My examination time was 2 days left. I prepared my health and mental
at home. Finally, the examination day
arrived. I went to school at 6.30a.m. I went to school with my friend. I
didn’t want to go alone. The examination began at 8a.m. I was very nervous when
I entered the room. I tried to manage my self. I tried to relax and calm down.
I did the question one by one. The room was very quiet. I thanked to the God because of God’s blessing I
could finish my examination well. After I
gave my best effort and had examination, I got result from my
examination. I got a pease of paper from my
teacher and finnaly I could pass
