ELEMETS OF A STORY
CHARACTERS
The characters are the individuals that the story is about. The author should introduce the
characters in the story with enough information that the reader can visualize each person.
SETTING
The setting is the location of the action. An author should describe the environment or
surroundings of the story in such detail that the reader feels that he or she can picture the
scene. Unusual settings (such as a fantasy world) can be interesting, but everyday settings
can help a reader to better visualize the story and feel connected to the plot!
PLOT
The plot is the actual story around which the entire book is based. A plot should have a
very clear beginning, middle, and end—with all the necessary descriptions and suspense,
called exposition—so that the reader can make sense of the action and follow along
from start to finish.
CONFLICT
Every story has a conflict to solve. The plot is centered on this conflict and the ways in which the characters attempt to resolve the problem.
RESOLUTION
The solution to the problem is the way the action is resolved. For example, Katie often
resolves a conflict by finding a compromise for two fighting characters or helping fix
any mistakes she made while switcherooed into someone else. It is important that the
resolution fit the rest of the story in tone and creativity and solve all parts of the conflict.
PHANTOM
Hatred to his past, phantom was full of mask
Now her love suddenly lost like flash
His heart bleed and crushed
Phantom burned his flesh and body in a blast
"epitaph"
a brief poem or other writing in praise of a deceased person.
