Cinderella Story

Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Cinderella. She lived with
her step mother and two step sisters.
The step mother and sisters were conceited and bad tempered. They
treated Cinderella very badly. Her step mother made Cinderella do the
hardest works in the house; such as scrubbing the floor, cleaning the pot
and pan and preparing the food for the family. The two step sisters, on the
other hand, did not work about the house. Their mother gave them many
handsome dresses to wear.
One day, the two step sister received an invitation to the ball that the king’s
son was going to give at the palace. They were excited about this and
spent so much time choosing the dresses they would wear. At last, the day
of the ball came, and away went the sisters to it. Cinderella could not help
crying after they had left.
“Why are crying, Cinderella?” a voice asked. She looked up and saw her
fairy godmother standing beside her, “because I want so much to go to the
ball” said Cinderella. “Well” said the godmother,”you’ve been such a
cheerful, hardworking, uncomplaining girl that I am going to see that you do
go to the ball”.
Magically, the fairy godmother changed a pumpkin into a fine coach and
mice into a coachman and two footmen. Her godmother tapped
Cinderella’s raged dress with her wand, and it became a beautiful ball
gown. Then she gave her a pair of pretty glass slippers. “Now, Cinderella”,
she said; “You must leave before midnight”. Then away she drove in her
beautiful coach.
Cinderella was having a wonderfully good time. She danced again and
again with the king’s son. Suddenly the clock began to strike twelve, she
ran toward the door as quickly as she could. In her hurry, one of her glass
slipper was left behind.
A few days later, the king’ son proclaimed that he would marry the girl
whose feet fitted the glass slipper. Her step sisters tried on the slipper but it
was too small for them, no matter how hard they squeezed their toes into it.
In the end, the king’s page let Cinderella try on the slipper. She stuck out
her foot and the page slipped the slipper on. It fitted perfectly.
Finally, she was driven to the palace. The king’s son was overjoyed to see
her again. They were married and live happily ever after.
1. Orientation: it means to introduce the participants or the characters of
the story with the time and place set. Orientation actually exists in every
text type though it has different term. In this story, the first paragraph is
clearly seen to introduce the participants of the Cinderella Story. They were
Cinderella her self as the main character of the story, her step mother
which treated Cinderella badly, and her steps sister which supported her
mother to make Cinderella was treated very badly. Cinderella was
introduced as a hero in this story. She struggled against the bad treatment
from her step mother and sisters.
2. Complication: it is such the crisis of the story. If there is not the crisis,
the story is not a narrative text. In a long story, the complication appears in
several situations. It means that some time there is more then one
complication. In this Cinderella story, we can see clearly that there
are Major Complication and Minor Complication.
The second paragraph is the major complication of this Cinderella story.
Cinderella got bad treatment from her stepmother. It is the bad crisis which
drives into several minor complications which Cinderella has to overcome.
3. Resolution: it is the final series of the events which happen in the story.
The resolution can be good or bad. The point is that it has been
accomplished by the characters. Like complication, there are Major
Resolution and Minor Resolution.
In the last paragraph, it is said that finally Cinderella lived happily. It is the
happy resolution of the bad treatment.
This example of narrative text about Cinderella can be used as the whole
explanation what narrative text is and how a narrative story is organized
through its paragraphs.
