  3. Plot How the author arranges events to develop his basic idea; it is the sequence of events in a story or play. (Planned, logical series of events having a beginning, middle and end)

  4. Conflict The opposition of forces which ties one incident to another and makes the plot move. (any form of opposition that faces the main character (NOT ONLY ARGUMENTS)). 2 Types: 1. External Conflict- a struggle w/a force outside one’s self 2. Internal Conflict- a struggle w/in one’s self; a person must make some decision, overcome pain, quiet their temper, or resist an urge/temptation. 4 Types of Conflict: 1. Man vs. Man: (physical) leading character struggles w/his physical strength against other men, forces of nature, or animals. 2. Man vs. Circumstance: (circumstances classical) the leading character struggles against fate, or the circumstances of life facing him 3. Man vs. Society: (Social) leading character struggles against ideas, practices, or customs of other people. 4. Man vs. Himself: (psychological) leading character struggles w/his own soul, ideas of or w/out, physical limitations, choices. (Essential to plot: there is no plot without Conflict)

  5. Character 2 Meanings for the word Character: 1. Person in a work of fiction 2. Characteristics of a person Types of Characters: 1. Individual: round, many sided and complex personalities 2. Developing: dynamic, many sided personalities that change: for better or worse by the end of the story 3. Sarcastic: stereotype, have one or two characteristics that never change and are emphasized. (EX: brilliant detective, drunk, scrooge, cruel stepmother) 4. Flat Character: Minor character in a work of fiction who does not undergo change or growth in the course of the story (“Static Character”)

  6. Point of View The angle from which the story is told… Innocent Eye: story told through the eyes of a child (their judgment being different from an adult) Steam of Consciousness: reader feels as if they are inside the head of 1 character and knows all their thoughts and reactions. First Person: story told by protagonist or one of the characters who interacts closely with the protagonist, or other characters (using pronouns: I, Me, We, etc.) Omniscient: author can narrate the story using this POV. He/She can move from character to character, event to event, having free access to the thoughts, feelings and motivations of his characters. Author can introduce information where and when he chooses. 2 Types of Omniscient: Omniscient Limited: 3rd person (they, he, she, it) know only what the character knows and what the author allows him/her to tell us. (See thoughts and feelings of character if author chooses to reveal them to us. Omniscient Objective: 3rd person- as though a camera is following the character, no comment on characters or their thoughts. Reader is a spectator, interpret events on own.
