What is a narrative text?

• A narrative text is a piece of writing that narrates a story set in a certain time and location.
• The narration is a method of narrating a story in the form of a sequence or a series of acts taken by the characters, which allows the reader to visualise the situation.
• A narrative is a text that focuses on a single character. Its societal function is to entertain readers by telling stories or recounting past occurrences.
• The following is the structure of a narrative text:

1. Orientation: This includes introducing the participants and providing information about the time and location.
2. Complication: Adding to the difficulty is describing the escalating problems that the participants must deal with.
3. Resolution: Demonstrating a participant's preferred method of resolving crises, for better or bad.

Therefore, the purpose of a narrative text is to tell a story, inform, or entertain the reader. It is distinguished by the presence of a narrator who can appear as a character within the story and will tell the story in the first or second person, or in the third person if the narrator is omnipresent.
