DISCUSSION
ELEMENTS OF THE STORY
There are officially 6 elements of the story the:
 Theme
, a theme is why it happens which you need to know
while you’re writing the plot.

So, before you even begin writing, determine why

you want to tell this story.

What message do you wish to convey?

What will it teach the reader about life?
Resist the urge to explicitly state your theme. Just tell
your story and let it explore your theme and make its
own point.
 Characters
I’m talking believable characters who feel knowable.

Your main character is the protagonist, also known

as the lead or hero/heroine.

The protagonist must have:

Redeemable human flaws

Potentially heroic qualities that emerge in the climax
A character arc (he must be a different, better,
stronger person by the end)
Resist the temptation to create a perfect lead
character. Perfect is boring. (Even Indiana Jones
suffered a snake phobia.)

You also need an antagonist, the villain.

Your villain should be every bit as formidable and

compelling as your hero. Just don’t make the bad guy
bad because he’s the bad guy. Make him a worthy
foe by giving him motives for his actions.
 Settings
This may include location, time, or era, but it should
also include how things look, smell, taste, feel, and
sound.
Sure way to put readers to sleep is to promise a
thrilling story on the cover only to begin with some
variation of:

The house sat in a deep wood surrounded by…

 Point of view
To determine Point of View (POV) for your story,
decide two things:

The voice you will use to write your story: First Person
(I, me), Second Person (you, your), or Third Person
(he, she or it), and
Who will serve as your story’s camera?
The cardinal rule is one perspective character per
scene, but I prefer only one per chapter, and ideally
one per novel.

 Plot
Plot is the sequence of events that make up a story.
It’s what compels your reader to either keep turning
the pages, or set the book aside.

 Conflict
Conflict is the engine of fiction and is crucial to
effective nonfiction as well.

Readers crave conflict and long to see what results

from it.

If everything in your plot is going well and everyone is

agreeing, you’ll quickly bore your reader a cardinal
sin.

APPLICATION
Direction: Read and analyze the story, and answer
the following questions.

THE COMING OF THE KING

By: Laura Rich
OME children were at play in their play-ground one
day, when a herald rode through the town, blowing
a trumpet, and crying aloud, “The King! the King
passes by this road to-day. Make ready for the
King!” The children stopped their play, and looked
at one another. “Did you hear that?” they said. “The
King is coming. He may look over the wall and see
our playground; who knows? We must put it in
order.”The playground was sadly dirty, and in the
corners were scraps of paper and broken toys, for
these were careless children. But now, one brought
a hoe, and another a rake, and a third ran to fetch
the wheelbarrow from behind the garden gate.
They labored hard, till at length all was clean and
tidy. “Now it is clean!” they said; “but we must
make it pretty, too, for kings are used to fine things;
maybe he would not notice mere cleanness, for he
may have it all the time. “Then one brought sweet
rushes and strewed them on the ground; and others
made garlands of oak leaves and pine tassels and
hung them on the walls; and the littlest one pulled
marigold buds and threw them all about the
playground, “to look like gold,” he said. When all
was done the playground was so beautiful that the
children stood and looked at it, and clapped their
hands with pleasure.
