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.
