Looking Back to Your Lesson
Do you still remember the adventure of the main character in your favorite
novel? Do you still know how the conflict was solved in the short story that you
have read in the previous lesson? Can you recite a line from your favorite poem?
You probably can. You probably still do because those texts caught your interest
and entertained you when you were reading them. Those stories are narrative.
Narrative text includes any type of writing that relates a series of events and
includes both fiction (novels, short stories, poems) and nonfiction (memoirs,
biographies, news stories). Both forms tell stories that use imaginative language
and express emotion, often through the use of imagery, metaphors, and symbols.
The purpose of narrative text is to entertain, to gain and hold a reader's
interest; however, writers of memoirs and novels often relate complex stories that
examine universal ideas, events, and issues. In addition, speakers, advertisers, and
politicians use stories to persuade us to accept or reject an idea.
All in all, the narrative form is unique, because authors relate ideas, they
want to express about how people behave and what they believe. These ideas, or
themes, generally relate to universal truths and make connections to the reader's
experiences.
BRIEF INTRODUCTION
The past would always leave an unwanted mark. No matter how hard we try
to forget, we would always remember those memories that caused us pain. A scar
is a mark that tells us to never forget. The scar is an invocation of the past. It is not
ephemeral. It is eternal.
In this lesson, we will look back at our past. The pain and suffering that we
have been through. The struggles and hardships that made us who we are today—
strong and powerful.

RIVER ROBERT
by Seitlhamo Motsapi
i have one eye full of dreams & intentions
the other is full of broken mirrors
& cracked church bells
i have one eye full of rivers & welcomes
the other is full of flickers & fades
i have
a memory full of paths & anointings
a mouth full of ripe infant suns
seven legs for the dancing river & the clement abyss
& a hope that corrodes the convulsions
we bless the long rough road
we bless the inscrutable darkness
where our names are rent into spirit
6
we bless the splinters & the air
full of asphyxiations & amnesia
we bless our lacerations & our deformities
we bless the belligerent strangers
who stay on in our throats
long after forgotten festivities
