B. Theory of Narrative Text: The advantages of study about narrative text: Students can use narrative text to tell any stories which happen in the past or any interesting stories related to certain characters like aladdin, snow white and etc. Definition of Narrative Narrative is a text focusing specific participants which tells an interesting story. Its social function is to tell stories or past events and entertain or amuse the readers. The text is organized to include: a stage that introduces the main character/s in a setting of time and place; a sequence of events, which may begin in a usual pattern, is changed in some way so that the pattern of events becomes a problem for one or more of the characters. The events are evaluated by the character/s, thus making it clear to the reader that a crisis has developed; the problem is resolved or attempted to be resolved; and a stage which makes explicit how the character has changed and what has been learned from the experience.

The grammatical features include: use of particular nouns to refer or to describe the particular people, animals and things that the story is about; use of adjectives to build noun groups to describe the people, animals or things in the story; use of time connectives and conjunctions to sequence events through time; use of adverbs and adverbial phrases to locate the particular events; use of past tense action verbs to indicate the actions; and use of saying and thinking verbs to indicate what characters are feeling, thinking or saying.
