4. Example of Narrative Text
Malin Kundang
    A long time ago, in a small village near the beach in West Sumatra, a woman and her son lived. They were Malin Kundang and her mother. Her mother was a single parent because Malin Kundang's father had passed away when he was a baby. Malin Kundang had to live hard with his mother.
    Malin Kundang was a healthy, dilligent, and strong boy. He usually went to sea to catch fish. After getting fish he would bring it to his mother, or sold the caught fish in the town.
    One day, when Malin Kundang was sailing, he saw a merchant's ship which was being raided by a small band of pirates. He helped the merchant. With his brave and power, Malin Kundang defeated the pirates. The merchant was so happy and thanked to him. In return the merchant asked Malin Kundang to sail with him. To get a better life, Malin Kundang agreed. He left his mother alone.
     Many years later, Malin Kundang became wealthy. He had a huge ship and was helped by many ship crews loading trading goods. Perfectly he had a beautiful wife too. When he was sailing his trading journey, his ship landed on a beach near a small village. The villagers recognized him. The news ran fast in the town; “Malin Kundang has become rich and now he is here”.
     An old woman ran to the beach to meet the new rich merchant. She was Malin Kundang’s mother. She wanted to hug him, released her sadness of being lonely after so long time. Unfortunately, when the mother came, Malin Kundang who was in front of his well dressed wife and his ship crews denied meeting that old lonely woman. For three times her mother begged Malin Kundang and for three times he yelled at her. At last Malin Kundang said to her "Enough, old woman! I have never had a mother like you, a dirty and ugly woman!" After that he ordered his crews to set sail. He would leave the old mother again but in that time she was full of both sadness and angriness.
     Finally, enraged, she cursed Malin Kundang that he would turn into a stone if he didn't apologize. Malin Kundang just laughed and really set sail.
     In the quiet sea, suddenly a thunderstorm came. His huge ship was wrecked and it was too late for Malin Kundang to apologize. He was thrown by the wave out of his ship. He fell on a small island. It was really too late for him to avoid his curse. Suddenly, he turned into a stone.


Narrative Analysis on Generic Structure
         Many believe that a story can teach a society certain moral value. Most stories are build in narrative. Because it is a narrative story, it must consists of complication. That complication, in fact, is the moral value which like to be taught.
Orientation; the first paragraph is set to be the story introduction. Reading the orientation, reader will know that the story is characterized with Malin Kundang and his mother. Wes Sumatra is set as the place.
Complication; this is the main element of narrative story. From the Malin Kundang myth, we know that there are more than one complication. Many stories are composed with multi complications. They are minor complication and major complication. When Malin Kundang and her mother did life hard, it can be the minor complication. this hard life in the first time was solved by his successful trading as new merchant. However this narrative sotry is more interesting when we see the major complication among the participants- Malin Kundang denied his mother after being successful merchant. In every story, complication must be ended; happy ending or sad one
Resolution; this is the end of the story, the sad ending one. Malin Kundang faces his curse of turning into a stone.

ASSIGNMENT 1 : Warning!


Hai There :)
Welcome To My Blog, setelah Postingan Introduction saya kemarin, saya akan Membuat Postingan "Wajib" saya ini, hehehehe.
Oke, let's Check This Out 
                           

1.       What is Warning?

               Notice/caution adalah salah satu text fungsional yang berupa petunjuk agar seseorang melakukan atau tidak melakukan sesuatu. Notice/caution ini dapat berupa frase (gabungan kata), clausa (kalimat), atau berupa  gambar/tanda/sign.

                Warning adalah suatu Larangan agar supaya seseorang tidak melakukan hal tersebut karena       dianggap  sangat berbahaya. Jadi, warning hampir sama seperti notice tapi tingkat bahayanya lebih  tinggi dari notice. Sehingga larangannya bersifat lebih keras.


2.       Purpose / Function of The Text

·         To give instruction/to instruct people: untuk memberi petunjuk.
·         To give direction: untuk memberi arahan.
·         To ask people to… : untuk meminta orang supaya…..
·         To advice/to suggest/to recommend people to.. : untuk menganjurkan orang supaya……
·         To remaind people to… : Untuk mengingatkan seseorang supaya….
·         To warn/to give warning for someone : untuk memberi peringatanuntuk seseorang

Kalau kalian udah tau pengertian dan tujuan dari Warning, sekarang saya akan memberikan contoh expression dalam warning.

3.       Example of The Text

Notice/caution menurut maknanya pada dasarnya dibagi menjadi dua jenis:
·         Notice yang berupa arahan atau petunjuk.
                Notice ini bisa berupa kalimat perintah, ajakan, nasehat, arahan atau petunjuk. Bisa juga              berupa gambar/sign/tanda tertentu.  Seperti: Be silent. SLIPPERY ROAD, BE CAREFUL
            Contoh notice arahan yang berupa gambar

Notice yang berupa larangan.
                Notice ini berupa kalimat larangan, (No, Don’t, Never), atau berupa gambar/tanda/sign yang     diberi tanda garis miring atau tanda silang (crossing). Misalnya:  Don’t be noisy, No parking,never speak up
Contoh notice larangan yang berupa gambar.
