Types of Narrative Text

Sobat Pintar, di bagian ini kita belajar bersama yuk, tentang jenis-jenis dari teks naratif.

Myth (Mitos)

Myths terdiri cerita yang  menjelaskan bagaimana dunia kita bekerja dan bagaimana kita harus memperlakukan setiap cerita. Biasanya diatur dalam waktu lama, sebelum sejarah seperti yang kita tahu itu ditulis.

Dalam mitos lain, dewa atau "makhluk super" menggunakan kekuasaan mereka untuk membuat peristiwa atau cerita petualangan dewa, dewi, pria dan wanita. Mitos-mitos menggambarkan hal-hal besar yang terjadi pada masyarakat dan pilihan yang mereka buat.
Contoh :
Malin Kundang

Legends (Legenda)

Legends juga cerita yang telah dibuat, tetapi mereka berbeda dengan mitos. mitos menjawab pertanyaan tentang cara kerja alam, dan diatur dalam waktu panjang yang lalu, sebelum sejarah ditulis.

Legenda tentang orang-orang dan tindakan atau perbuatan. Orang-orang hidup di zaman yang lebih baru dan disebutkan dalam sejarah. Cerita disampaikan untuk sebuah tujuan dan didasarkan pada fakta-fakta, tetapi mereka tidak benar-benar ada.
Contoh :
Story Of Lake Toba

Fables (Fabel)

Fables adalah tentang binatang yang bisa berbicara dan bertindak seperti orang, atau tanaman atau kekuatan alam seperti petir atau angin. Tanaman mungkin dapat bergerak dan juga berbicara dan kekuatan alam menyebabkan hal-hal terjadi dalam cerita karena kekuatan mereka.
Contoh :
The Wolf and the House Dog

Fairy Tales

Fairy tales adalah cerita yang ditulis khusus untuk anak-anak, sering tentang karakter ajaib seperti elf, peri, goblin dan raksasa. Kadang-kadang karakter binatang.
Contoh :
Snow White And The Seven Dwarf
