The document discusses the typical structure of narratives, including an orientation that establishes characters, setting, and time, a complication that introduces a problem for the main character, and a resolution that resolves the complication in a happy or sad ending. It then provides an example narrative about Snow White that follows this three-part structure, with an orientation introducing Snow White and her living situation, a complication where she runs away from her aunt and uncle, and multiple resolutions as she finds shelter with the dwarfs and they agree to let her live with them.
