C. The Steps to Make Narrative Writing

A good narration tell a story in an interesting way by adding elements of suspense so that the readers will want to know how the story will turn out. The word narrative means a story, so narrative is where you tell a story, meaning a fiction piece of work a short story.

The first steps we must pick up the Idea to deliver

Example :  My Achievement and Failure in Elementary School

The second steps we must develop into a complete sentence make sure your story is organized. You can do this by using cronological order. The beggining will set the scene for the story, the middle should tell the story, and the end should bring the story to a conclusion. You can also tell a narrative story from a first person or second person and third person. In develop sentence there are some steps, like :

1. To make narrative writing we must determine orientation of generic structure  narrative. Orientation is  sets the scene and introduces the participants. An orientation in which the narrator tells the audience about : 1. Who is in the story

                     2. Where  the action happening

                     3. When the story is taking place

Example :

When I was in Elementary School I am included good student in class. Because almost every semester (quarterly) I got a rank between one two and three, but it happened when I was in grades three until six. In class one and two I only got rank between three until eight. At that I never thought I could got rank one. Starting from that moment I often got rank one.

                                             

2. We must establish complication or  tells the beggining of the problem which leads to the crisis (climax) of the main participant.

Example :

Of course, it is not easy to got rangked first, because I must to figth  hard, study hard and I also compete with my classmates who named Pipin Lestari and Agung Handoko. They are Including good student in class. Especially Agung Handoko he is male students are very cleaver. Because the results of my hard work I can be like they are  always were rated. Although, sometimes it was ranked among the three of  us took turns. But we always became good friends. At the time I remeber when I rose to fifth grade I was appointed to follow a race which quiz competitions and I was appointed to represent the quiz competitions Natural Science subject. I became keen learn and be guided by a mentor teacher Natural Science. So can win the race to the provincial level. At the home I also continue to practice and learn until the day of the race arrived. The first day of competitions was held at the village. At the time the race went smoothly and  I was able to get through it well. After  two days of competitions held at the village level. supervising teacher of Natural Science lesson tells me that I qualified for the district level do not think became with it. Even then be very pleasent news at that time. But when the race was held district level I did not manage to win the race I just got 2 champion. Because my oppenet is much more cleaver and lucky. I became lost and can only last up to district level. That's my failure when I follow the quiz competitions despite failing but still be an honor because I can follow the race and managed to get two champion.

3. Determine resolution of complication or problem in the story. Resolution is showing the way of participant to solve the crises, better or worse. The end can be open or close ended. Open endeded is conclusion that depends on the perception of the readers. Whereas, close ended is an end of a story in which the conclusion is clearly stated.

Example :

I kept trying to study hard in order to become even more and may have the opportunity to be a winner.

4. Establish coda or which summarized the point of the story and moral massage we may get.

Example :

To be achieving students that requires passion and hard work for the objectives to be achieved with either. If we fail do not despair keep trying to be able to achieve a success.

The last steps is make sure you stay on the target of your story. Do you want to entertain, inform or give an emotion and when you are though writing you narrative story be sure to revise or edit.

The underline word and pink colour is topic sentence. Why I called it sentence as topic sentence because usually topic sentence is in the first sentence in a paragraph. The underline word and pink colour included main idea of paragraph because topic sentence it introduces the main idea of paragraph.

Note : This is the topic sentence of paragraph above.

Topic Sentence	Reason
When I was in Elementary School I included good student in class.	Because topic sentence is the first sentence in paragraph and it introduce the main idea of the paragraph one.
It is not easy to got rangked first, because I must to figth  hard, study hard and I also compete with my classmates who named Pipin Lestari and Agung Handoko.	Because that sentence is main idea of paragraph two and tell about not easy to got rangked
