D) Examples of narrative
The Litte Match Girl
On a cold New Year’s Eve, a poor
girl tries to sell matches in the street. She is freezing badly, but she
is afraid to go home because her father will beat her for not selling
any matches. She takes shelter in a nook and lights the matches to warm
herself. In their glow, she sees several lovely visions including a Christmas tree and a holiday feast. The girl looks skyward,
sees a shooting star, and remembers her deceased grandmother saying that such a falling star
means someone died and is going into Heaven. As she lights the next
match, she sees a vision of her grandmother, the only person to have
treated her with love and kindness. She strikes one match after another
to keep the vision of her grandmother nearby for as long as she can. The
child dies and her grandmother carries her soul to Heaven.
The next morning, passers-by find the dead child in the nook and take
pity on her, not knowing that she had left the world to no more be cold
or hungry.
