The document defines key literary elements used in stories: setting, plot, characters, conflict, and theme. It explains that setting includes the place and time period of a story. The plot is the sequence of events and how the author arranges them, including typical stages like introduction, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. Characters can be described by their characteristics. Conflict drives the plot forward as opposing forces. The theme is the central idea or message the author aims to convey.
