CHARACTERS

Characters refer to persons, persons, creatures


or things serving as actors or movers in a story.
They portray specific roles with corresponding
dialogues and plot lines. Stories have
protagonist/s and antagonist/s.
CHARACTERIZATION

Characterization is a writer’s tool, or “literary


device” that occurs any time the author uses
details to teach us about a person. This is used
over the course of a story in order to tell the tale.
Let’s figure it out from the example below:

“In the Harry Potter series, Dobby refers to Potter as “the noble Harry
Pot-ter,” or “good Harry Potter,” which shows us how the house elf
adores the young wizard. It might also be a hint of how Dobby would
show affection for other people he admires.”
PLOT

Plot shows how the author arranges events to


develop the basic idea; There are five essential
parts of plot:
• Exposition (introduction) is the beginning of the
story.
• Conflict can be any form of struggle the main
character faces. there may be only one central
struggle, or there may be many minor obstacles
within a dominant struggle.
TYPES OF CONFLICT

• Character vs. Self -struggles with own soul,


physical limitations, choices, etc.
• Character vs. Character - Struggles against
other people.
• Character vs. Nature - Struggles against
animals, weather, environment, etc.
• Character vs. Society - Struggles against ideas,
practices, or customs of others
• Climax is the turning point of the story. Readers
wonder what will happen next; will the conflict
be resolved or not?

• Falling action is where the resolution begins;


events and complications start to fall into place.
These are the events between climax and
denouement.

• Resolution (Conclusion) is the final outcome of


events in the story.
