Exposition Resolution
The beginning of the story where the
characters and the setting is revealed.
This is where the events of the story
become complicated and the conflict in the
story is revealed (events between the
introduction and climax)
This is the highest point of interest and the
turning point of the story. The reader wonders
what will happen next; will the conflict be
resolved or not?
The events and complications begin to
resolve themselves. The reader knows what has
happened next and if the conflict was resolved
or not (events between climax and resolution)
The part of the plot that concludes the
falling action by revealing or suggesting the
outcome of the conflict.

Tone

The tone in a story can be joyful, serious,


humorous, sad, threatening, formal,
informal, pessimistic, and optimistic. Your tone
in writing will be reflective of your mood as you
are writing.
• Examples of tone in a story include just about
any adjective you can imagine:
• Scared
• Anxious
• Excited
• Worried
• Foolish
• Smart
• Depressing
Conveying Tone in a Story
Tone in writing is conveyed by both the choices of words and the narrator of the

story.

Consider the tone of The School by Donald Barthelme. Here, words like "death"

and "depressing" set a negative or unhappy tone:

And the trees all died. They were orange trees. I don’t know why they

died, they just died. Something wrong with the soil possibly or maybe the stuff we

got from the nursery wasn’t the best. We complained about it. So we’ve got thirty

kids there, each kid had his or her own little tree to plant and we’ve got these

thirty dead trees. All these kids looking at these little brown sticks, it was

depressing.
Mood
In literature, mood is a literary element that evokes certain

feelings or vibes in readers through words and descriptions.

Usually, mood is referred to as the atmosphere of a literary

piece, as it creates an emotional situation that surrounds the

readers. Mood is developed in a literary piece through various

methods. It can be developed through setting, theme, tone

and diction.
Technique
Common techniques relevant to style, or the
language chosen to tell a story, include metaphors,
similes, personification, imagery, hyperbole, and
alliteration. Techniques relevant to plot, which are
the sequence of events that make up a narrative,
include backstory, flashback, flash-forward, and
foreshadowing.
Purpose
Purpose is the goal or aim of a piece
of writing: to express oneself, to provide
information, to persuade, or to create a literary
work. ... When someone communicates ideas
in writing, they usually do so to express
themselves, inform their reader, to persuade a
reader or to create a literary work.
