Basic Story Elements: Write elements according to its meaning/ definition

__________A story's setting refers not only to the physical location, but
also the time the action takes place. It is the where and the when of a
story.

__________Depending on the nature of the story, characters are most


often people or animals. Writers use characters to perform the actions
and speak the dialogue of a story. They move a story’s plot forward.
They are the who of a story.

__________The plot relates to the events that happen in a story. Plot


can be further divided into sub-elements such as: introduction, rising
action, climax, falling action, and resolution. It is the what of the story. Plot
usually begins with a problem and ends in the story’s resolution.

___________Every story worth its salt requires conflict. This conflict can
be thought of as a challenge or problem that drives the action of the
story. No conflict, no story. Setting up a series of cause and effect
events, conflict gives these events their why.

___________ a little more abstract than the previous elements, the theme
refers to the underlying insight, the moral or idea that the writer is
expressing through the story. It is often thought of as the ‘message’ of
the story.
