Narrative texts tell a story by describing events, characters, or phenomena. They show rather than tell through detailed descriptions. Narratives can be fiction like novels or non-fiction like memoirs. According to Madison Smart Bell, the structure or form of a narrative is most important, as it contains the story's elements like plot, characterization, point of view, and theme. A narrative typically includes an orientation introducing what the text is about, a complication where conflicts arise between participants, and a resolution where the problems caused by the conflicts are solved or ended.

Transactional Approach & Literary Elements.pdf
Louise Rosenblatt developed the transactional theory of reader response, which holds that meaning is created through an active interaction between the reader and the text, rather than being inherent in the text itself. She described two stances a reader can take - the efferent stance, where the focus is on retaining factual information, and the aesthetic stance, where the reader has a lived experience interacting with characters and events in the text. Literary elements like character, setting, plot, theme, and diction are tools authors use to craft stories and convey meaning. Character development includes physical descriptions and how others react to characters. Setting can be backdrop or integral to the story. Common plot structures include linear, episodic, and circular. Theme expresses
