This document summarizes the key elements of a narrative text. A narrative tells a story and can be imaginary or based on real events. Its purpose is to entertain readers. There are different types of narratives like short stories, folktales, legends, fables, and myths. A narrative follows an organization structure with three main parts - an orientation that introduces the setting and characters, a complication where events lead to a conflict, and a resolution where the story is resolved and comes to an end.
