Making generalization and abstractions about the lesson
The basic elements of a narrative (literary text):
1. Characters are the people, animals or animated objects that interact in the story.
Characterization is the technique generally used by authors to reveal and develop the traits of
story characters to the readers. This technique comes in different methods. Basically, literary text
authors reveal and develop characters through these following methods:
 Action which tells how the character acts or behaves throughout the story
 Appearance that shows how the characters look or appear in the story
 Dialogue that reveals what the character says and how the character says it
 Thoughts and feelings that express what the character thinks and feels.
 Relationships which describe the types of personal relationships, such as friends,
acquaintances, or family that the character has
 
There are also two major types of characters in a narrative:
 Main Character/ Protagonist (Hero) - Clear center of story; all major events are important to
this character
 
 Antagonist (Villain) - Opposition or "enemy" of the main character
 
2. Setting/Mood tells where and when the story happens. It helps create the mood or feeling of
the story.
Here’s a sample situation that will help you understand how the setting affects the mood of the story.
Imagine a family spending time together talking while having their lunch. The setting of this story will
surely affect the mood or how the readers will feel while reading this narrative. If the story happened
in the garden, we would imagine a picnic activity of a family with happy mood. But if this story took
place at a funeral house, the mood would probably be sad or sorrowful.
 
The following are the aspects that we should look into to be able to understand how the setting or
mood is revealed and developed in narrative:
 
Ø Place- refers to the geographical location
- it answers the question, where does the action of the story happen?
Ø Time - which refers to the historical period, time of day or year
- it answers the question, when does the story take place?
Ø Weather conditions - Is it rainy, sunny, stormy, or cloudy?
Ø Social conditions - What is the daily life of the character? What kind of life does the character
have in the story?
Ø Mood or atmosphere - What feeling is created in the events of the story? Is it sad, happy, or
scary?
3. Theme is the central message, idea or purpose of a narrative text. It is the lesson presented by the
story to its readers.

4. Plot tells the order of events. It has three main parts:


1. Beginning is where the characters and setting are set and introduced.
2. Middle introduces the problem and the action of events in the story.
3. Ending is the concluding part of the story wherein the conflicts/ problems are resolved.
