1. Identifying the generic structure of a narrative text

A Lane Going up the Hill

Orientation                      It was a heavy rainstorm in Kampung Sepang. Jabri and Halil had just finished their dinner together at Jabri’s house. They were sitting in the living room for coffee and conversation, hoping the rain would stop soon.

Complication                  It was half past eleven at night and the downpour was showing no sign of stopping. “Looks like you’ll have to spend the night here, Halil.” Said Jabri. “No way,” Halil said. “I’ve to be at work early tomorrow morning.”

Resolution                        A few moments later Halil got into the car, started the engine, and said good night to Jabri.

Complication                  Something told him that he shouldn’t have turned off the lane going up the hill, but it was the shortest way home. He knew that lane. It ran across from an old Chinese cemetery. There were no lights, no cars, no people, just Halil and his old car.

Complication                  All of a sudden, a white shape appeared in the middle of the lane. Halil shone his beam of light in that direction. The white shape turned to Halil. He saw a pair of crimson eyes staring at him. It was a long-haired woman in a long white dress. She grinned at Halil. At once, Halil felt his blood freeze. His heartbeat stopped. His mouth opened but he was speechless. His eyes opened wide in terror.

Resolution                        Suddenly, consciousness came into his mind. He quickly reversed his car and sped away just in time. “I think I’ll take up your offer to spend the night here after all.” Halil told Jabri as his legs trembled.
