him to the Stone Table and executed

Read and understand some key concept materials given below.
You can make a study gram in your notebook in order to help
you understand more.

You have read and understand a story entitled “The Lion, the Witch
and the Wardrobe.” It is a fantasy. Fantasy are stories that include
impossible or magic systems as the components of the story.
As the characteristics of narratives texts, fantasy is also aimed
to amuse or entertain the readers and consists of orientation,
complication and resolution (Emilia, 2016). In Unit 1 and 2, we have
already learned five language features of a narrative text, namely:
action verbs, past tense, sequence words, noun phrases, as well as
adverbs of manner, time and place. In the following sections, we will
also gradually learn two other language features of a narrative text.
