 Let?s look at Narrative Text!

 Hello everyone! Welcome to the Online English class! Karena banyaknya permintaan agar satu demi 

 satu jenis teks yang diajarkan dalam Kurikulum Bahasa Inggris di SMP dan SMA dibahas dan diberi 

contoh, maka Online English Class mulai saat ini akan memberikan postingan tentang jenis – jenis teks

tersebut. Nah, hari ini kita akan melihat lebih dekat tentang Narrative Text. Kita akan melihat contoh

dari Narrative Text dan nanti akan diikuti oleh penjelasan tentang Generic Structure , Communicative Purposes dan Lexico grammar features-nya. Tapi inget, sebagai pelajar, dalam mempelajari teks

 Narrative ini, maupun teks – teks yang lain, bukan tugas kita untuk menghafalkan semua yang 

dijelaskan tentang Narrative teks tersebut. Artinya, kita TIDAK HARUS hafal di luar kepala semua yang 

dijelaskan di postingan ini.

Yang diharapkan dalam kurikulum adalah bahwa kita sebagai pelajar, kita mengenal teks – teks

tersebut, sehingga kita akan memahaminya dan akhirnya kita akan dapat ? BERKOMUNIKASI? dalam

teks tersebut. Perlu diingat bahwa tujuan akhir pengajaran Bahasa Inggris adalah memampukan siswa

untuk  BERKOMUNIKASI? bukan menghafal pengertian – pengertian teknis. Ok, mari kita lihat salah

 satu contoh Narrative text.

 STORY GENERIC STRUCTURE  

Once upon a time there 40 cruel thieves who put their stolen money and 

treasures in a cave. They went in the cave by saying ?Open Sesame? to the

cave entrance. A poor person, named Ali Baba saw them while they were

doing that, so he heard the opening word. After they left, he went toward the

cave and opened it. Suddenly he found a very large quantity of money and 

 golden treasures. He took some of it and went back home. After that he

became a rich man and his brother wanted to know how he became rich.

ORIENTATION 

 Ali Baba turned into the richest man in his village. His evil brother was really

 jealous of him, and wanted to know how he could get such a lot of money.

Therefore, when Ali Baba went to the cave again to take some more money,

his brother followed him. He saw everything, and decided to go back the next 

day to take some money for himself. The next morning he found a lot of 

money in the cave, and he wanted to take all of them. Unfortunately, when hewas busy carrying the money to his house, the thieves came. The boss of the

thieves asked him how he knew about the cave. He told everything, but 

unluckily they killed him and went to Ali Babas house.

COMPLICATION 

 After finding Ali Babas house, they made a plan to kill him the following 

night. Some of the thieves hid in big jars, and the boss pretended that he was a

merchant who wanted to sell the jars to Ali Baba. Ali Baba who was a kind 

man invited the boss of the thief to have lunch together.

COMPLICATION 

 After lunch they took a rest. Luckily, the house maid went out of the house,

and found that there were thieves inside the jars. She finally boiled hot oil and 

 poured it into the jars to kill all of them. The boss of the thieves was caught,

and put into prison.

 RESOLUTION 

 Ali Baba was saved from the danger, and he finally lived happily ever after 

with his maid who became his wife shortly after.  REORIENTATION

Prambanan Temples – Central Java

Travel Guides

BOROBUDUR BUDDHIST TEMPLE OF CENTRAL JAVA

.

The temple was damaged during the earthquake in Java in 2006. Early photos suggestthat although the complex appears to be structurally intact, damage is significant. Large

 pieces of debris, including carvings, were scattered over the ground. The temple has been

closed to the public until damage can be fully assessed.The head of Yogyakarta Archaeological Conservation

Agency stated that: “it will take months to identify the

 precise damage”.[2] However, some weeks later in 2006the site re-opened for visitors. The immediate

surroundings of the Hindu temples remain off-limits for 

safety reasons.

The complex

The compound is assembled of eight main shrines or 

candis, and more than 250 surrounding individual candis. The three main shrines, called

Trisakti (Ind. “three sacred places”), are dedicated to the three gods: Shiva the Destroyer,Vishnu the Keeper and Brahma the Creator.

The Shiva shrine at the center contains four chambers, one in every cardinal direction.

While the first contains a three meter high statue of Shiva, the other three contain smaller 

statues of Durga, his wife, Agastya, a risi, and Ganesha, his son.

The shrine of Durga is also called the temple of LoroJonggrang (slender virgin), after a Javanese princess,

daughter of King Boko. She was forced to marry a man

she did not love, Bandung Bondowoso. After longnegotiations she eventually agreed to the marriage, under 

the condition that her prince should build her a temple

ornamented with 1000 statues, between the setting andthe rising of the sun.

Helped by supernatural beings, the prince was about to

succeed. So the princess ordered the women of the village

to set a fire in the east of the temple, attempting to makethe prince believe that the sun was about to rise. As the

cocks began to crow, fooled by the light, the supernatural

helpers fled. The prince, furious about the simple trick,

changed Loro Jongrang to stone. She became the last and the most beautiful of the

thousand statues.

The two other main shrines are that of Vishnu, to the north, and the one of Brahma,facing to the south. In front of each main temple is a smaller candis on the east side,

dedicated to the mounts of the respective god – the bull Nandi for Shiva, the gander Angsa for Brahma, and Vishnu’s Eagle Garuda, which serves as the national symbol of 

Indonesia (cf. also to the airline Garuda Indonesia).

The bas-reliefs along the twenty sides of the temple

depict the Ramayana legend. They illustrate how Sita, the

wife of Rama, is abducted by an evil ogre. The monkey

king Hanuman brings his army to help Rama and rescueSita. This story is also shown by the Ramayana Ballet,

regularly performed at full moon in front of the

illuminated Prambanan complex.

The temple complex is surrounded by more than 250

individual temples of different sizes, called Pewara, believed to have been offered to the

king as a sign of submission. The Pewara are arranged in four rows around the central

temples, according to the rank of the people allowed to enter them. While the central rowwas accessible to the priests only, the other three were reserved for the nobles, the

knights and the simple people respectively.

 Not far to the west are found Candi Kalasan and Candi Sari, and to the south the Ratu

Boko on higher ground. Each provides further clues and details of the
