The story has basic but important elements.

Among these are the plot, setting and character/s.

elements:

the characters.

environment of the story, which can
be made up of the physical location,
climate, weather, or social situation
and cultural surroundings.
Thank you Jasper.

Meaning to say Setting is the place and time.

Where and when the story happened.

Example:
Place - in the bank of the Pasig River
Time - one day

affect the way your reader feels about your piece.

like.

2. Indirect characterization

speech, and dialogue.

Do you understand class? Yes, Sir

Five Methods of Characterization

An acronym, PAIRS, can help you recall the five

methods of characterization: physical
description, action, inner thoughts, reactions, and
speech.

1. Physical description Bryan: the character's physical

Kindly read Bryan. appearance is described.
- For example, characters might be
described as tall, thin, fat, pretty, etc.
We might be told the color of hair or
something about the clothing of the
character. How the character dresses
might reveal something about the
character.

Example:
Crocodile – rough skin with big eyes.
Peahen– with beautiful feathers.
.
