5. S etting , Character , and P lot When we talk about when and where the story is set, it is called the setting. It deals with both the physical location and also the time (i.e. past, present, future) and the social and cultural conditions in which the characters exist. The setting of a story can help define and shape the character for the reader .

6. A person or animal or anything that is personified is called a character . There can be one main character or many, and often there are secondary characters, but not always. Characterization is also used by the writers to highlight and explain the details about the character in a story. Oftentimes, it talks about how the character behaves.

7. The series of events that happen in a story is called a plot . It includes an introduction, rising action, a climax, the falling action, and a resolution. Plot is often represented as an arc . In a narrative or creative writing, a plot is the sequence of events that make up a story, whether it’s told, written, filmed, or sung. The plot is the story, and more specifically, how the story develops, unfolds, and moves in time.

8. Plots are typically made up of five main elements: 1. Exposition. At the beginning of the story, the characters, the setting, and the main conflict are typically introduced. 2. Rising Action. The main character is in crisis and events leading up to facing the conflict begin to unfold. The story becomes complicated.

9. 3. Climax. At the peak of the story, a major event occurs in which the main character faces a major enemy, fear, challenge, or other source of conflict. The most action, drama, change, and excitement occurs here. 4. Falling Action. The story begins to slow down and work towards its end, tying up loose ends. 5. Resolution . Also known as the de nouement, the resolution is like a concluding paragraph that resolves any remaining issues and ends the story.
