🌻 Definition Of Narrative Text 🌻
Narrative Text is a form of story text, and the story that is written will not usually be experienced by the author himself but in the form of an imagination or legend.
So even though both Narrative Text stories have very clear differences from Recount text.
Narrative Text is also a type of text that tells an imaginative event (imaginary) in a sequence or systematic and functions to be able to entertain readers.
🌹 Purpose of Narrative Text 🌹
The main purpose of a narrative text is to be able to entertain and attract readers (to amuse or to can entertain the reader).
By being able to present a plot or story or an event that has a beginning in a problem which then creates a conflict and finally at the end of the story there is a resolution or a happy or even sad ending.

By answering 2 questions from some of these questions, for example Who? and Where? the Orientation part of a story that can already be formed.
2. Complication
Complication is one of the next parts of Narrative Text. This section is a part that readers and listeners are waiting for because it is in this section that a problem in the story arises so that it can make the narrative text more interesting to be easy to read and less boring.
In making Narrative Text, writers may also give one or more problems in this section so that it can make the text more interesting. Usually, a problem that arises in this section involves the various main characters of the text.
The problems that arise can be divided into the following:
Natural Conflict Namely on a problem that arises because the actor of the story is dealing with the forces of nature.
Social Conflict. That is one of the problems that have arisen because these actors face each other. They met at the same time with different interests.
Psychological Conflict That is a problem that has arisen when the perpetrator of the story deals with himself. The contradiction between a good and a bad value, between greed and tolerance.
3. Resolution
Resolution is one of the next parts after Complication. In this section of Resolution, problems in one of the Complication sections are starting to be resolved with various solutions.
The solution to be able to solve or end the problem will not always be good and happy, sometimes there are bad and sad solutions.
In addition, there are also solutions to be able to solve problems that do not end the problem completely until the end of the story is hanging, making readers more curious. It aims to be able to maintain readers' interest in the story.
4. Re-orientation
Re-orientation is one of the last parts of Narrative text and is usually at the end of a story or in the last paragraph.

📌 Languange Features of Narrative Text 📌
To better understand the use of narrative text , let's dive into its characteristics.
🌳Specific character
In a narrative, the author will create a specific character as the main character in the story. Not only the main character, but all the characters in the story will be written clearly, starting from their name, shape, color and character. For example Ariel the mermaid, the dwarves who have different characteristics, Dana the brave Moana.
🌳past tense
Because writing in narrative text is a fiction or imagination, the grammar that is more commonly used is the past tense . Usually this grammar is very obvious if you read legends or fairy tales that have ancient settings.
🌳Time conjunction and adverb of time
As explained above, narrative text is written sequentially based on time chronology. Therefore, time conjuction is needed as a link for time, such as w hen, before, after, and others to explain the chronology of an event. Meanwhile, adverb of time is needed in writing narrative text with the aim of showing the time when an event occurs, for example o nce upon a time, one day, and others.
🌳Action verb
The use of action verbs in narrative text is one of the characteristics that need to be remembered. This action verb is a verb that shows an action by a character. Due to the grammar used in narrative text form of the past tense, the action verb is also written in the form of a second, for example l aughed, cried, walked, swam, said, married, and others.
🌳Direct speech
If you read a narrative, you will definitely notice that there are quotes taken from the conversations of characters in the story. This is also known as direct speech . It is very important to write dialogue between characters so that important information can be conveyed attractively and the story will be more 'alive'. In addition, this will also make it easier for readers to understand the contents of the story.

B.J. HABIBIE
Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie known as BJ. Habibie was born on June 25, 1936. He was the Third President of the Republic of Indonesia (1998–1999). Habibie was born in Parepare, South Sulawesi Province to Alwi Abdul Jalil Habibie and R.A. Tuti Marini Puspowardojo. His father was an agriculturist from Gorontalo of Bugis descent and his mother was a Javanese noblewoman from Yogyakarta. His parents met while studying in Bogor. When he was 14 years old, Habibie's father died.
He remained in Germany as a research assistant under Hans Ebner at the Lehrstuhl und Institut für Leichtbau, RWTH Aachen to conduct research for his doctoral degree.
In 1962, Habibie returned to Indonesia for three months on sick leave. During this time, he was reacquainted with Hasri Ainun, the daughter of R. Mohamad Besari. The two married on 12 May 1962, returning to Germany shortly afterwards. Habibie and his wife settled in Aachen for a short period before moving to Oberforstbach. In May 1963 they had their first son, Ilham Akbar Habibie, and later another son, Thareq Kemal Habibie.
When Habibie's minimum wage salary forced him into part-time work, he found employment with the Automotive Marque Talbot, where he became an advisor. Habibie worked on two projects which received funding from the Deutsche Bundesbahn. Due to his work with Makosh, the head of train constructions offered his position to Habibie upon his retirement three years later, but Habibie refused.
Habibie did accept a position with Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm in Hamburg. There, he developed theories on thermodynamics, construction, and aerodynamics known as the Habibie Factor, Habibie Theorem, and Habibie Method, respectively. He worked for Messerschmit on the development of the Airbus A-300B aircraft. In 1974, he was promoted to vice president of the company.
In 1974, Suharto requested Habibie to return to Indonesia as part of Suharto's drive to develop the country. Habibie was initially served as a special assistant to Ibnu Sutowo, the CEO of the state oil company Pertamina. Two years later, in 1976, Habibie was made Chief Executive Officer of the new state-owned enterprise Nusantara Aircraft Industry (IPTN). In 1978, he was appointed as Minister of Research and Technology. Habibie was elected vice president in March 1998.
On 21 May 1998, Suharto publicly announced his resignation and Habibie was immediately sworn in as president. Habibie's government stabilized the economy in the face of the Asian financial crisis and the chaos of the last few months of Suharto's presidency. Since relinquishing the presidency, Habibie has spent more time in Germany than in Indonesia. However, he has also been active as a presidential adviser during Susilo Bambang Yudoyono's presidency. In September 2006, he released a book called Decisive Moments: Indonesia's Long Road Towards Democracy (Decisive Moments: Indonesia's Long Road Towards Democracy). The book recalled the events of May 1998.

🌹🌹Inventor
Alexander Graham Bell
Alexander Graham Bell (/ˈɡreɪ.əm/; born Alexander Bell, March 3, 1847 – August 2, 1922)[3] was a Scottish-born[N 2] inventor, scientist, and engineer who is credited with inventing and patenting the first practical telephone. He also co-founded the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) in 1885.[6]
Bell's father, grandfather, and brother had all been associated with work on elocution and speech and both his mother and wife were deaf; profoundly influencing Bell's life's work.[7] His research on hearing and speech further led him to experiment with hearing devices which eventually culminated in Bell being awarded the first U.S. patent for the telephone, on March 7, 1876.[N 3] Bell considered his invention an intrusion on his real work as a scientist and refused to have a telephone in his study.[8][N 4]
Many other inventions marked Bell's later life, including groundbreaking work in optical telecommunications, hydrofoils, and aeronautics. Although Bell was not one of the 33 founders[10] of the National Geographic Society, he had a strong influence on the magazine while serving as the second president from January 7, 1898, until 1903.[11]
Beyond his scientific work, Bell had a deep interest in the emerging science of heredity.[12]
Alexander Bell was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on March 3, 1847.[13] The family home was at South Charlotte Street, and has a stone inscription marking it as Alexander Graham Bell's birthplace. He had two brothers: Melville James Bell (1845–1870) and Edward Charles Bell (1848–1867), both of whom would die of tuberculosis.[14] His father was Professor Alexander Melville Bell, a phonetician, and his mother was Eliza Grace Bell (née Symonds).[15] Born as just "Alexander Bell", at age 10, he made a plea to his father to have a middle name like his two brothers.[16][N 5] For his 11th birthday, his father acquiesced and allowed him to adopt the name "Graham", chosen out of respect for Alexander Graham, a Canadian being treated by his father who had become a family friend.[17] To close relatives and friends he remained "Aleck".[18]
