Narrative writing is one type of paragraph development in a series of writing events from time to time set out in the order early, middle, and end. In this case, from one event to the other events are related in order of time (chronological).  In the narrative, there is also a character who faces a conflict . In this narrative also , the conflict will determine the storyline . And then there already was the conflict then it must be a resolution of the incident that occurred a good settlement. The events will be more interesting if the conflict reached its peak. There are three elements in the form such as the events , characters , and conflict is a fundamental element of a narrative . If the three elements is combined together, these three elements is called the plot or groove. Thus, the narrative is a story that is presented by the plot or groove . The narrative is also a narrative essay, describe the occurrence of an event, whether the event a reality (non-fiction story), and imaginary events (fiction-story).  The narrative writing can be tells about the history, fairy tales , and can also be events that happen in our life.

Why we should write a narrative writing ?

As we know, the inform about narrative writing. We should to know “why we should write a narrative writing”? because we can learn some story in the past like  fiction story such as legend, fairy tales and also there is nonfiction story like history, and our own experiences if we can write narrative writing.

                          II.        How to Differ from the other Writing Genres.

After I told about the description of narrative writing.  I am going to explain about how to differ from the other writing genres.  Let me explain it ! actually if we learn about the difference narrative with the other writing genres or I can say “ how to differ from them”, I have some thoughts about this matter. There are some important things that can distinguish narrative with the other writing genres.

1.      If in other genres may only explain or tell the problems alone, but in the narrative text in which there is an act or acts which resulted in the problem and solution

2.      Let me check its generic structure alone can be distinguished, although between narrative and recount have in terms of narrative writing commonly  which is orientation but sometimes there is a solution or coda in narrative writing whereas no recount , as well as with other writing genres.

3.      In a narrative writing, there is elements of the act or acts. Whereas in other genres are not, example in descriptive writing only portray something without any protrusion element of action.

4.      If the narrative text, the story is arranged which is interrelated chronologically with each other in a time sequence clearly than the other genres sometimes not arranged in order of time clearly.

5.       Trying to answer the question " what happened ? " That is trying to be explained in the narrative text , but if the other genres do not.

6.      If the narrative text can be a story about an event or experience of the author . Although between narrative and recount can have the form of the author's experience in the recount, but there is a problem that eventually becomes climax, as well as with the other writing genres.

7.      If  in other genres, there is no conflict like in descriptive , recount or Expository  writing but  there is conflict in the narrative writing because it used conflict, the narrative writing is usually uninteresting so that it can achieve the climax of the story.

8.      Narrative writing has aesthetic value, whereas in other genres do not. Sometimes there is author's perspective of narrative writing. Viewpoint used the first-person perspective and a third-person perspective.

                            III.    The Step How To Make Narrative Writing

Well guys, I am going to explain how to make narrative writing. let me explain them one by one. There are some step to make narrative writing :

1.    Decide on a topic.

Look over the list of suggestions or brainstorm a few of your own.  Remember, a narrative is a story with characters, setting, problem, and solution.  Be sure to choose a story that has all the parts of a good narrative.

Example :  the topic is experiences

2.    Establish the setting

Answer the questions Who?  What?  Where?  When?  And  Why?  These questions help to narrow and describe the setting before the problem or action takes place.

Example :  I've fallen off my bike when I was little because I was riding very fast.

3.    Decide topic sentences

After we have a topic, we have to decide the topic sentences. The topic sentences have to include the complete sentences. Example : I have some experiences in my life.

4.    Decide and write the supporting sentences

In these supporting sentences are the supporting of the topic sentence. Here can also be raised deeds that cause problems or we can create the problems  which achieve the climax of the story. Example :  “ I have some experiences in our life. When I was from childhood to adulthood. I lived in a modest family, and therefore I have learned independent life that I was from childhood. I did activities that the other child did not do necessarily. At the time, I was in elementary school, when other kids were playing…….”.

5.    Write The Concluding Sentences

In the concluding sentence expresses the conclusion of the story. Is there a best solution or not ?

Example : 

 “So that, were  all of the little experience that I had, I will never forget the experiences. Because that experience is the best teacher, we will never be able to do the best without experience. With the experience, we can introspect ourselves if there are mistakes in the past so that we can be a good person to live a good life anyway. I will share my experience later to my children, so they know how the experience is very important in our life. Thank a lot for the case for me to share my little experiences”.
