5. Setting Where and when is the story set? Setting represents both the physical location but also the time ( i.e. past, present, future) and the social and cultural conditions in which the character exist. Example story: Romeo and Juliet Setting: Verona, Italy Renaissance, 15 th century

9. Theme Idea, belief, moral, lesson or insight. It’s the central argument that the author is trying to make the reader understand. The theme is the ‘why’ of the story. Theme: Love and Hate

10. Point of View Point of view (POV) is what the character or narrator telling the story can see (his or her perspective). The author chooses “who” is to tell the story by determining the point of view. Depending on who the narrator is, he/she will be standing at one point and seeing the action. Example story: Romeo and Juliet Point of View: Third person omniscient point of view

12. Style This is how things are said. Word choices, sentence structure, dialogue, metaphor, simile, hyperbole. Style contributes significantly to tone. Example of story: Romeo and Juliet Style: Prose and Verse
