C. Generic Structure

1. Orientation
It is about the opening paragraph where the characters of the story are introduced.

2. Complication
It is the part in which the problems in the story developed. Because it is chronological, the problems
that arise at the beginning will continue to be a series of long storylines that contain conflict, climax,
and anti-climax. As for the arrangement in the complication:
- Problem, a sentence or paragraph that begins to lead the problem of the story.
- Conflict, more complex, after there is a problem, the story will continue to conflict. In this
section, the audience will be curious about what happened between one character and another.
- Climax is the peak of the conflict which is the main focus in narrative text.
- Anti-climax, this section is known as conflict reduction. So, the conflict will decrease slowly.
- Solution, the paragraph in the solution section will explain the resolution of the conflict that
has been described previously

explanation of the solution. In this section, the writer can also describe whether the narrative text that
is made will end with a sad ending or a happy ending.

The Legend of Kemaro Island

Once upon a time, there was a young man born in China, his name was Tan Bun An. He sailed
to the shores of Bumi Sriwijaya. He eagerly set sail cross lands, he wandered far for a life made finer
for his fortune and happiness he sought to avail. Tan Bun An worked hard for each day he earned
through much sacrifice. He sold fresh crops and the delivery of rice. When Tan Bun An lived in
Sriwijaya for many years ago, he met a beautiful girl, her name was Siti Fatimah. She was a daughter
of a rich merchant.
Tan Bun An and Siti Fatimah felt in love. Finally Tan Bun An and Siti Fatimah got married.
They held a great wedding. They had wealthy life. Tan Bun An felt his life with great blessing. Their
life was magnificent according to his expectation. Tan Bun An has been successful in Bumi Sriwijaya.
He remembered his father in hometown. He sent a letter to his father. He said that he would visit his
father together with his wife. Tan Bun An and his wife arrived in China. His father was very happy to
meet his son and his daughter in law. He welcomed them joyfully. He was listening enthusiastically
about the story of Bumi Sriwijaa and the struggle of his son’s dream. Their reunion was joyful. It was a
 warm and tender moment. Tan Bun An’s father was very pleased. His son was mature. His daughter in
law was beautiful and humble. Day by day past, their visit had come to be ended. Although they felt
sad to part, Tan Bun An and his wife had to go back to Bumi Sriwijaya.
By a ship and several guards, they sailed to Bumi Sriwijaya. His father gave seven urns as gift
and provision for their trip. He prayed for the happiness of his son and daughter in law. Before the ship
sailed, his father hugged and said to his son that the gifts would be useful for their life. The ship left the
harbor and brought Tan Bun An and his wife. Close to Bumi Sriwijaya Harbor, Tan Bun An felt
curious with the urns given by his father. Tan Bun An opened the urns. They were so surprised. They
found salted vegetables in the urns. The smell of the vegetable was bad. They were disappointed. They
threw away the urns one by one to Musi River. Accidentally, the last urn fell down and broken. They
were shocked. They saw plenty gold under the vegetable in the urn. Tan Bun An felt sorry because he
had negative thinking and doubted the love of his father. Actually, his father tried to save them from
pirates.
Because of feeling sorry, Tan Bun An tried to save the urns. He jumped into the river. But, he
could not swim well. The river was deep. He was panic and sank. His guards jumped into the river to
save their master because their master did not appear. Siti Fatimah became panic because her husband
and her guards did not appear. She felt sad and decided to jump into the river. The winds blew strongly
and swiftly. The ship sank. After several years and slowly, the sinking ship became a small island. The
island grew slowly to become bigger. People called the island as Kemaro Island. It is the story of
Kemaro Island that was formed by a tragedy of the love of Tan Bun An and Siti Fatimah.

The Bitter Tongue and the Four Eyes

Once upon a time, somewhere around South Sumatera, in a place called Banding Agung, there were two
mighty warriors. They were quite famous and well-respected by the people around Banding Agung,
including their contenders. They were notably called as the bitter tongue and the four eyes.

One day, the bitter tongue came to meet the four eyes to say his arrogant declaration. Feeling disgraced by
the bitter tongue’s arrogant declaration, the four eyes reacted –not less arrogant- , “Who do you think you
are? Do you think that you’re the greatest of all? What about a duel? To prove which one is the greatest
once and for all?” triggered the four eyes. Feeling his pride a little shattered, the bitter tongue said, “I will
accept the challenge. You and I must lay down under the clump of palm tree. Then it will be trimmed.
The one who can dodge the clump, is the winner.” He replied. Upon hearing his challenge answered by
the bitter tongue, they then decide the appropriate time and place for their duel.

Day after day, night after night, the time of duel had finally arrived. It was the four eyes who took the first
turn. He was not called as the four eyes for nothing, it was indeed a very amicable alias for him as he does
have four eyes in his head, two eyes on his face and two more at the back of his head. The Bitter Tongue
climbed the palm tree skillfully and succeeded in trimming the palm sugar. Meanwhile, the four eyes face
down below the clump of the palm tree. By the help of his eyes at the back of his head, he succeeded in
dodging the palm sugar which had been cut by the bitter tongue beforehand. He was safe and sound at
last. Then, here come the time for the Four Eyes to climb up the palm tree. He did it with great agility,
not-less skillful than the Bitter Tongue. Meanwhile, it was the time for the Bitter Tongue to lay down
under the palm tree, just like what the Four Eyes had done before. Upon reaching the top of the palm tree,
the Four Eyes trimmed down the palm sugar and it fell right away. The Bitter Tongue, who did not know
that the palm sugar had been cut by his contender, kept on facing down under the palm tree. Therefore,
his body was tragically hit by the palm sugar. He died instantly.

Seeing his contender lied down on the ground, dead, the four eyes smirked with great satisfaction radiated
throughout his face. The bitter tongue was indeed just like what he had been expected before. That man
was not as great as the rumor said he would be. He was more certain that he himself was still the greatest
warrior of all. No matter how strong his contenders could be, they would still be out of his league. In spite
of the fact that he won the challenge, the four eyes was still wondering about what was behind the bitter
tongue’s alias. The four eyes frowned, “But why was he called as the bitter tongue? Was it because he
really had a bitter tongue or what?” he wondered to himself. Out of curiosity, the four eyes approached
his contender’s dead body. After that, he opened the bitter tongue’s mouth. As the four eyes looked over
his mouth closely, he was surprised there was nothing special with his mouth. It was different than what
he had imagined before. He thought that there would be something different with how it looked like. But
it was as ordinary as any men would have.

“Wait a second, was it really bitter?” the four eyes wondered and ended up touching the bitter tongue’s
tongue with his index finger. He licked the finger which had touched the tongue fearlessly, without any
suspicion whatsoever. “Hmm, it was indeed terribly bitter.” He whispered to himself. Unfortunately, he
never knew that this particular lick would become a disaster for his own life. The bitter taste coming out
of the tongue was in fact a very deadly poison contained inside the bitter tongue’s saliva. It was extremely
bitter and deadly, that it killed the four eyes not long after his victory. The four eyes fell down to the
ground not too far from the bitter tongue’s dead body. Considering the fact that two of the most powerful
warriors ever-known in Banding Agung were both dead, there were no other great warriors ever appear
again in that region. At least not as great as the four eyes and the bitter tongue.

In spite of the fact that they both had amazing skill and power to be called as the greatest warriors, they
died due to one very particular mistake, a mistake which considered petty by most people, their own
vanity. The bitter tongue who felt like he was the greatest warrior of all and no one could ever surpass his
greatness as a warrior. And the four eyes for underestimating his contender, even though his contender
was already dead. Their bodies were buried near the edge of Danau Ranau, in which it was known as one
of the most popular tourist destinations in Indonesia with its breathtaking view and the richness of its
culture, including the legend about the bitter tongue and the four eyes.

getting poor and suffering. The king was still trying hard to finish the dry season that had never stopped.
"My daughter, there used to be a fortune teller who said that this kingdom would be saved by your
dreams. Have you ever had a strange dream during this time?" asked the king.
"Father, you should not believe in any prediction. Trust the God who has given us life. I believe the
problems in this country are going to be solved soon" said the princess. The king confirmed his daughter
words. He apologized to his daughter.
One day, Princess Kemarau dreamed about meeting her mother. Actually, she’d never met her
mother before. It was because her mother had passed away after she was born.
"Our country will be fertile if there is a woman who wants to sacrifice. The woman must throw
herself into the ocean to be sacrificed” said her mother in her dream.
