example of narrative text [JONAH]

 JONAH

Once upon a time there was a village in North Israel. All the people lived peacefully there. One of them was Jonah. Jonah lived with his parents. They loved him very much. (Orientation 1)
In the north of Israel was Syria. It had powerful knights. They were very cruel and liked to invade other countries. (Orientation 2)
One night when the people of Jonah’s village were sleeping, the Syrian knights attacked his village. They burned down the houses. One of them threw a torch into Jonah’s house. Jonah’s house was on fire. (Complication)
Jonah and his parents avoided the fire burning their house. They saved themselves by climbing a ladder to the upstairs. It was too high for them to jump down to the ground from the upstairs. Jonah’s father took a rope to get down from the stairs to the ground. They escaped to another village.(Resolution)
Jonah and his parents lived in a fishermen village. They became fishermen. (Reorientation)
