The Steps
to Make Narrative Writing
1.
Decide on a topic
Example : Message in My
Trip
2.
Establish the setting
Setting
is important in many ways. Not only does it affect the action and events
in the story, but it can also affect the way characters act.
Example : Last
week I went to Gunung Sugih in central Lampung with my father to made
affidavits police records. I went to there at 13.00 pm.
3. Decide on the events of the story.
These events should be actions with strong, active
verbs. If there is no action, there is no story.
Example : I
arrived there I have to waited to get the form, after that I was waiting in
line to get finger print formula. When I was finished filling out the form and
fingerprinting formula I am waiting to get the affidavits police records, and
after waiting turn, Finaly I called to get the letter
4. Details, Details
Details are the way to elaborate on the events that create the plot.
Example : We
waited until the rain was over. While we waited, I and my father talked about
my future. My father said that I have to reach my dream. I have to study hard,
do the best and pray to god. He said that everything that I will do is my
choice, and the result of it is mine, and the parent just supports,
facilitating, and praying for.
5.
Connect the events
Connectors
are a good way to connect the events in the story.
Example
: last week
6.
Add “vivids”
“Vivids”
are those words that add life to your writing. They bring the reader to
the scene of the story. Vivid language lets the reader know what the
writer sees, hears, feels, smells and tastes.
Example
: We waited until the rain was
over. While we waited, I and my father talked about my future, My father said
that I have to reach my dream
7.
“Hook” your reader
Remember
the purpose of the narrative is to entertain the reader. It is important
to attract the reader’s attention right from the start so they want to read the
story.
Example
: I realized that my parent is
very important for me, they always support what I do, they prayed to god for my
happiness.
Message in My Trip
Last week I went to Gunung Sugih in
central Lampung with my father to made affidavits police records. I went to
there at 13.00 pm. (orientation)
When I arrived there I have to waited
to get the form, after that I was waiting in line to get finger print formula.
When I was finished filling out the form and fingerprinting formula I am
waiting to get the affidavits police records, and after waiting turn.
Finaly I called to get the letter.
After that me and my father back to home, but when we want to go back home, not
far from there my motorcycle was off. Turns out after my father check, fuel is
used up. So we have to push the motorcycle until 50 yards to got petrol. In the
middle of a trip we got rainy, so we took shelter in a house.
We waited until the rain was over.
While we waited, I and my father talked about my future. My father said that I
have to reach my dream. I have to study hard, do the best and pray to god. He
said that everything that I will do is my choice, and the result of it is mine,
and the parent just supports, facilitating, and praying for. That was the
message from my father to me. Because the rain was over, we continue to come
home. In the middle of a trip I thought about the message from my father, from

I do, they prayed to god for my happiness. (complication)

my father ate meatball before arrived at home. Although we got in our rainy

is the most important people in my life who always supporting everything that I
do. (resolution)
