2. PLOT or STORYLINE
 “The main events of a play, novel, movie, or similar
work, devised and presented by the writer as an
interrelated sequence.”
 http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/plot
 In my own words: Plot is a series of event in a story or
novel.
 My example:
The story begins when Lizzie’s sister, Jane, falls
in love with Darcy’s friend named Mr. Bingley. Lizzie
develops and interest in for Mr. Wickham, who
accuses Darcy of destroying him financially. When
Lizzie goes to meet her friend, she runs into Mr. Darcy,
who proposes and Lizzie rejects. She then writes him a
letter telling him why she dislikes him. He writes back,
clearing up all misunderstandings and accusations.
Jane runs away with Mr. Wickham and Lizzie realizes
that Mr. Darcy is not as bad a man as she thought him
to be.
