PRELIMINARY
1.1
BACKGROUND
In narrative text or many stories or
talesthat often read out by our parents or teachers, it was very
interesting, becausein the stories or tales using the narrativefeatures such
as, contained timesequence in the beginning of the story,contained action verbs
to show action of the characters in the story and also contained the
dialogue amongcharacters in the story. This is whatmakes narrative text is very
interesting.The researcher thought that narrativetext was very suitable for the
students inwriting class because they can easilyexpress their own idea drawn
from their own experiences at school, house or anywhere, in their
narrative writing but dothe students tell or write about their stories
already follow the languagefeatures of narrative text, consideringthat
narrative text has own languagefeatures which different with another types
of text or genre. Narrative is kind of text that we usually found in our
real life,such as when we tell about our experience or when we tell about the
pastevent. Same with another kind of texts,narrative text has special features
thatare the purpose, the generic structureand language features.
In this life, time goes by until some of us die. We surely go
through this life passing the time. During the whole life, we have experienced
many happenings that we left behind. We keep some of the events in our memory.
They become our unforgettable experiences. Some are nice and the others are
bad. What are your unforgettable experiences? How did they happen?

ALADDIN AND THE MAGIC LAMP

Once

was a clever boy, but he did not like to work.
Complication
One
day Aladin’s mother sent him to the market place to look for a job. In the
market he met a magician. The magician asked him to work together with him. If
Aladdin could do, he would get a lot of gold coins and jewellery. The magician
asked Aladdin to go inside the cave and find a magical lamp there. He also gave
a ring and said, “If you are in any trouble, rub this ring and a genie will
come to your rescue!”
Aladdin
went into the cave. Inside the cave, Aladdin was surprised by what he saw.
Every corner was full of gold and treasures. A few minutes later, he found the
lamp and quickly returned to the entrance of the cave. Aladdin called out,
“Magician, I have found the lamp.” “Excellent,” answered the magician. “Quick,
pass it to me!”
Aladdin
did not trust the magician so he said, “Not so fast Magician. You must help me
out of this cave first.”
The
magician became very angry. When Aladdin was walking to the entrance, the
magician pushed a huge rock over the entrance of the cave and left Aladdin and
the lamp behind. Aladdin tried to move the rock all by himself, but it was too
big and heavy, “Oh no! I am trapped in the cave!” he cried.
Suddenly,
he remembered the magic ring. He rubbed it with the palm of his hand. To his
surprise, a genie appeared before him and in a powerful voice said, “Master, I
am the Genie of the ring. How can I help you?”
Aladdin
was frightened, but he soon found the courage to ask, “Could you please send me
back to my house?” In no time at all Aladdin was back home.
Aladdin
took out the lamp. He wondered what would happen if he rubbed it. As Aladdin
was rubbing it, all of a sudden another enormous genie stood before him. The
genie of the lamp said, “Master, your wish is my command.” Aladdin was very
excited and wished for an enormous palace and bags full of gold.

get her own back.

One day, she went to the lion and said,”Good day,
Respected elder brother. Imagine it, i met an animal over
there who looked exactly like you, and he said to me,”Is there anyone in the
world who dares stand up to me? If there is, let him come and have a duel with
me. If there is no one, all of you have to submit to my rule and be my
servants!” “Oh, he was an can’t even light on anyone!”,added the rabbit.
“Oho,”the lion said,”Didn’t you metion me to him?”
“Yes, indeed,”the rabbit replied,”But it would have been
better if I hadn’t. When I described how strong you were, he just sneere and
said dreadfully rude things. He even went so far as to say that wouldn’t take
you for his attendant!”.
The lion flew into a rage and roared,”Where is her? Where is
her?”
So the rabbit took the lion behind a hill and, not going too
near herself. Pointed to a deep well from a distance, and said,”He is down
there, in the well”.

CHAPTER III
Conclusions
3.1
CONCLUSION
From
the discussion
above
it can be concluded, "there
is hardly any noticeable difference between
the two". Because both together
tell the story of the past; so it is natural to use simple past.
The difference is very clear, the story in narrative text contains problems, obstacles, difficulties to be resolved / solved. Models of this story many of us encounter on a fairy tale text. While the story in recount text contains the usual story, arranged like a diary, and there should be no problem in it.
More simply like this:
• narrative text: tales
• recount text: diary
