    The Parts of a Story:

    1. Plot – a series of related events.


    Each event needs to be interesting enough to “hook” the reader. A good plot creates curiosity in the
    reader so they want to read more.
    2. Conflict – a struggle or a problem that needs to be resolved (fixed). Our amount of interest usually
    depends on the amount or depth of the conflict.

    Two Types of Conflict:


    a. External Conflict:
    Conflict that takes place between a character and another person, or between a character and
    something nonhuman (nature).
    b. Internal Conflict:
    Conflict that takes place a character’s mind (a struggle with the inner “demons”).

    The Elements of a Plot/ The Four Basic Parts:


    1. Exposition: (The Basic Situation)
    The beginning of a story where the characters and conflict are introduced and the setting.
    2. Complication: (Conflict)
    The part of the story where the main character is taking some action to resolve the conflict(s) and it’s
    unsuccessful. This causes more problems and complications, thus making the story more interesting.
    3. Climax:
    Point of highest emotion; turning point; the point at which the outcome of the conflict can be predicted.
    4. Resolution: (Denouement)
    Rounds out and concludes the action; struggles are over. The End!
    Rising Action - one (or more) characters in crisis. (It begins with the inciting force and ends with the
    climax.)
    Falling Action - resolution of character’s crisis. (The events after the climax which close the story.)
