Secara umum, pengertian narrative text adalah cerita fiksi atau khayalan atau cerita karangan yang dibuat semata-mata untuk kepentingan hiburan bagi pembacanya. Bentuk narrative text yang umum ditemukan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari dapat berupa dongeng, cerita rakyat, legenda, maupun cerita yang bersifat fiksi lainnya. Pada narrative text, kejadian diceritakan secara berurutan mulai dari pendahuluan sampai dengan klimaks, dan akhirnya sampai pada tahap simpulan atau penyelesaian.

Sekali lagi, perlu dipahami bahwa narrative text dibuat semata-mata hanya untuk kepentingan hiburan saja. Jadi dapat mengabaikan nilai-nilai kebenarannya.

Generic Structure of Narrative Text (Struktur Tata Bahasa search Teks search Narasi)

Sebagaimana layaknya genre teks yang lain dalam Bahasa Inggris, narrative text memiliki generic structure atau struktur tata bahasa. Adapun generic structure of narrative text atau struktur tata bahasa teks narasi memiliki tiga susunan, terdiri atas:

Selain itu, pada bagian resolution juga seringkali ditemui pesan moral atau moral value, dapat pula berupa nasihat yang bisa diambil dari keseluruhan jalan cerita. Moral value yang terdapat dalam bagian resolution pada narrative text disebut dengan Coda.

Teks 1

TIMUN MAS

Long time ago in the Island of Java, Indonesia, lived a couple of farmer.  They had married for some years but they had no children.  So they prayed to a monster called Buta Ijo to give them children.

Buta Ijo was a ferocious and powerful monster.  He granted their wish on one condition.  When their children had grown up, they had to sacrifice them to Buta Ijo.  He liked eating fresh meat of human being.  The farmers agreed to his condition.  Several months later the wife was pregnant. She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.  They named her Timun Mas.  The farmers were happy.

Timun Mas was very healthy and a very smart girl.  She was also very diligent. When she was a teenager Buta Ijo came to their house.  Timun Mas was frightened so she ran away to hide.  The farmers then told Buta Ijo that Timun Emas was still a child.  They asked him to postpone.  Buta Ijo agreed.  He promised to come again.  The following year Buta Ijo came again.  But again and again their parents said that Timun Mas was still a child.

Timun Mas Journey’s

When the third time Buta Ijo came their parents had prepared something for him.  They gave Timun Mas several bamboo needles, seeds of cucumber, dressing and salt.

‘Timun, take these things’

‘What are these things?’

‘These are your weapons.  Buta Ijo will chase you.  He will eat you alive.  So run as fast as you can.  And if he will catch you spread this to the ground.  Now go!’

Timun Mas was scared so she ran as quickly as she could.  When Buta Ijo arrived she was far from home.  He was very angry when he realized that his prey had left.  So he ran to chase her.  He had a sharp nose so he knew what direction his prey ran.

Timun Mas was just a girl while Buta Ijo was a monster so he could easily catch her up.  When he was just several steps behind Timun Mas quickly spread the seeds of cucumber.  In seconds they turned into many vines of cucumber.  The exhausted Buta Ijo was very thirsty so he grabbed and ate them.  When Buta Ijo was busy eating cucumber Timun Emas could run away.

Buta Ijo: End of Life

But soon Buta Ijo realized and started running again.  When he was just several steps behind Timun Mas threw her bamboo needles.   Soon they turned into dense bamboo trees. Buta Ijo found it hard to pass.  It took him some time to break the dense bamboo forest.  Meanwhile Timun Mas could run farther. Buta Ijo chased her again.  When he almost catch her again and again Timun Mas threw her dressing.  This time it turned into a lake.  Buta Ijo was busy to save himself so Timun Mas ran way. But Buta Ijo could overcome it and continued chasing her.

Finally when Timun Mas was almost caught she threw her salt.  Soon the land where Buta Ijo stood turned into ocean.  Buta Ijo was drowned and died instantly. Timun Mas was thankful to god and came back to her home.

Jadi meminta kepada raksasa yang disebut dengan Buta Ijo untuk memberi mereka anak-anak . Buta Ijo adalah raksasa yang ganas dan kuat . Dia mengabulkan permintaan mereka dengan satu syarat . Ketika anak mereka telah dewasa, mereka harus mengorbankan mereka untuk Buta Ijo . Dia suka makan daging segar manusia . Para petani setuju untuk dengan permintaannya. Beberapa bulan kemudian istri petani pun hamil .

          Istri petani melahirkan seorang bayi perempuan cantik . Mereka menamainya Timun Emas . sepasang petani itu pun senang . Timun Mas sangat sehat dan tumbuh menjadi seorang gadis yang sangat cerdas . Dia juga sangat rajin . 

          Ketika ia masih remaja Buta Ijo datang ke rumah mereka . Timun Mas ketakutan sehingga dia melarikan diri untuk bersembunyi . Para petani kemudian mengatakan Buta Ijo bahwa Timun Mas masih anak-anak. Mereka memintanya untuk menunda . Buta Ijo setuju . Dia berjanji untuk datang lagi . Tahun berikutnya Buta Ijo datang lagi. Tapi lagi dan lagi orang tua mereka mengatakan bahwa Timun Mas masih anak-anak.

          Ketika ketiga kalinya Buta Ijo datang orang tua mereka telah mempersiapkan sesuatu untuknya . Mereka memberi Timun Emas beberapa jarum bambu , biji mentimun , saus dan garam .

‘ Timun , mengambil hal-hal ini ‘

‘ Apa ini ? ‘

‘ Ini adalah senjatamu . Buta Ijo akan mengejarmu . Dia akan memakanmu hidup-hidup . Jadi berlari secepat mungkin yang kau bisa. Dan jika ia akan menangkapmu sebarkan ini ke tanah . Sekarang pergi! ‘

Petualangan Timun Mas

Timun Mas takut sehingga ia berlari secepat yang dia bisa . Ketika Buta Ijo tiba ia sangat  jauh dari rumah . Dia sangat marah ketika ia menyadari bahwa mangsanya telah meninggalkan rumah. Jadi Buto Ijo berlari mengejarnya . Dia memiliki hidung yang tajam sehingga ia tahu kemana arah berlari mangsanya .

          Timun Mas hanya seorang gadis sementara Buta Ijo adalah raksasa sehingga ia bisa dengan mudah menangkapnya . Ketika ia hanya beberapa langkah di belakang Timun Mas cepat menyebar benih-benih mentimun . Dalam hitungan detik benih mentimun itu berubah menjadi tanaman merambat . Buta Ijo sangat kelelahan dan haus sehingga ia meraih mentimun itu dan memakannya . Ketika Buta Ijo sedang sibuk makan mentimun Timun Mas bisa melarikan diri .

          Tapi segera Buta Ijo menyadari dan mulai berlari lagi . Ketika ia hanya beberapa langkah di belakang Timun Emas melemparkan jarum bambu nya . Tak lama kemudian mereka berubah menjadi pohon bambu lebat . Buta Ijo merasa sulit untuk lulus . Ini membutuhkan beberapa waktu untuk memecahkan hutan bambu lebat . Sementara itu Timun mas bisa berlari lebih jauh .

Akhir Riwayat Buta Ijo

Buta Ijo mengejarnya lagi . Ketika ia hampir menangkapnya lagi dan lagi Timun Mas melemparkan riasnya . Kali ini berubah menjadi danau . Buta Ijo sedang sibuk menyelamatkan diri sehingga Timun Mas berlari jalan . Tapi Buta Ijo bisa mengatasinya dan terus mengejarnya .

Akhirnya ketika Timun mas hampir tertangkap ia melemparkan garam itu . Segera tanah tempat Buta Ijo berdiri berubah menjadi laut . Buta Ijo itu tenggelam dan tewas seketika .           Timun mas bersyukur kepada Tuhan dan kembali ke rumahnya.

Legend of Lake and Mount Batur

Orientation

It is believed that there was once a giant as tall as a mountain who roamed the island, called Kbo Iwo. He would help the Balinese people to build temples and villages, dig ditches, and cut terraces out of of the hillsides for rice paddies. All he asked for in return for his help was food.

Complication

His appetite was enormous, however, and there was never enough food to satisfy him. His hunger would sometimes make him angry and he would destroy the things that he helped to build and then eat the villagers.

One day, the harvest was failed and the people could barely eat, let alone feed the giant. This angered Kbo Iwo so much that he rampaged across the island, killing and destroying everything in sight until all the homes, rice fields, and temples were ruined.

Resolution

The people begged Kbo Iwo to help rebuild the temples, homes, and rice fields that he had destroyed in his rampage. The giant agreed and worked at replacing everything that he had destroyed.

Complication

Without him knowing, Kbo Iwa was still hated by the people. They asked him to build a well and he started digging. As he dug, the soil piled up high next to the well, as high as a mountain.

The people then gave him food and it made him sleepy. He later slept in the well. Whilst he was sleeping, people poured a huge amount of sticky substance down the well and it set.

Resolution

Kebo Iwa was unable to escape as the well was filled with water. The water soon overflowed to become a lake.

Reorientation

Today, many believe that the lake is Lake Batur, Bali's largest lake. The pile of earth that Kbo Iwo dug out of the well is believed to be Mount Batur, Bali's third largest volcanic mountain.

Once upon a time, there lived a husband and wife in the jungle of Mt. Lawu, East Java. They were Kyai Pasir and his wife Nyai Pasir. They lived peacefully.

Kyai Pasir was a farmer. He worked in a field. Nyai Pasir just stayed at home. Every day she cleaned up the house and cooked for them.

..................................(2)

It was a beautiful morning, Kyai Pasir left the house and went to his field. While he was walking, he stumbled upon something. He looked at the thing carefully.

"What is this: Is this an egg? But what kind of egg is this? It's huge," he thought.

..................................(3)

Kyai Pasir put the egg back to the ground. He continued walking. At home, Kyai Pasir told his wife about the egg.

..................................(4)

"Why didn't you bring the egg home?" asked Nyai Pasir.

"It's really big. I felt really strange about the egg," explained Kyai Pasir.

"If the egg is really big, then we both can eat. Please bring the egg home, Kyai," asked Nyai Pasir.

..................................(5)

On the following days, Kyai Pasir went to the field as usual. He planned to bring the egg home as his wife's request. Kyai Pasir was walking carefully, he did not want to stumble upon the egg for the second time. He looked around. And aha! He found the egg. He carefully brought the egg home.

"Nyai, this is the egg I told you," said Kyai Pasir.

"You are right, Kyai. The egg is big. I wonder what animal has this egg," she said.

Nyai Pasir did not wait for long to boil the egg, And when it was done, they both ate the egg. They both felt very full. And it made them very sleepy. Not long after that they fell a sleep.

In the morning Kyai and Nyai Pasir woke up as usual. Kyai Pasir took a bath then he went to the field.

..................................(6)

On the way to the field, he felt so uncomfortable. His skin were itchy.

He stretched his body. Suddenly, he felt his throat so hot. He badly needed water. He was screaming in pain.

He was so shocked as he saw his skin changed into scales. Just like scales of reptile. He touched his head. He felt something was growing on his head. He was completely shocked. A horn was growing.

He also had a tail. His body slowly getting bigger. He changed into a dragon!

Meanwhile, at home Nyai Pasir also felt the same. She was so panicked. She was screaming. She was running to the feld. She wanted to look for her husband.

When she arrived at the field, she saw a dragon was moving his body on the ground. Slowly Nyai Pasir also changed into a dragon. The two dragons were trying to walk but they were too weak to do that.

..................................(7)

They just could move their bodies on the ground. They moved their bodies and it made a very big hole. The hole was getting deeper and the water came out. In no time, the hole became a lake.

..................................(8)

Since then, people named the lake as Telaga Pasir to as a reminder not to pick what's not theirs.
