Narrative as a story, so it should
have the element that can make story more interesting to the reader such as a
conflict and conclusion of the story.The students must have good communication
in both oral and written form. Oral form is that speaking and listening, and
written form is that writing in reading. Some of them feel difficulties in
composing narrative text such as: stuck to get diction, getting idea, and
ordering the words.

interesting technique and more creative to motivate students in writing
process. Therefore, one simplest way of making writing more creative and
meaningful to the students is to have the students to write something about

self.
