Study Notes
Narrative Text Analysis
- Narrative text recounts a series of events, either fictional (novel, short story, poem) or non-fictional (memoir, biography, news story)
- It uses language rich with imagery, conveying emotions, and employing metaphors and symbols to create a compelling narrative.
- Patricia Melendex-Cruz (1994) suggests analyzing narrative text as a social process, seeking to represent reality's nuances and provide insight into society.
Elements of Narrative Text
- Subject Matter (Topic): Choose a significant and relatable theme when crafting a story. Even if personal experience fuels the narrative, explore relevant social implications.
- Structure: Logical and clear organization of events is crucial. Structure can vary and may follow a chronological order, a reverse-chronological order, or begin in the middle, but the sequence must be logical and easy to understand.
- Orientation (Background): This section establishes the context of the story – who, when, where. Providing details of characters, time period, and location sets the stage for the narrative, answering core questions regarding time, location, and characters.
