WHAT IS A STORY?
A "story" is a narrative or an account of a series of events
or experiences, whether fictional or factual. Stories
typically have a beginning, middle, and end and often
involve characters, a plot, and a setting. They can be used
to entertain, inform, educate, or convey a message or
theme. Stories are a fundamental part of human
communication and are used in various forms such as
literature, oral traditions, film, and more to share
information, emotions, and experiences.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF ELEMENTS IN
A STORY
Narrative or Tale
In a literary sense, a story refers
to a narrative or tale that is
usually fictional but can also be
based on real events. It typically
has characters, a plot, setting,
and often conveys a message,
theme, or moral lesson.
Account of Events
In a broader sense, a story can
also mean an account or
recollection of events or
experiences, whether fictional
or factual. This can include
personal anecdotes, historical
accounts, news reports, and
more.
Floor or Level of a
Building
In architecture and
construction, a "story"
refers to a level or floor of a
building. For example, a
multi-story building has
multiple levels or stories.
Narrative in Movies or TV
In the context of film and
television, a story refers to the
plot or sequence of events that
make up the content of a
movie, TV show, or other
visual media.
Explanation or Excuse
In informal language, "story" can
also be used to refer to an
explanation, excuse, or
justification for something,
especially if it is perceived as
untruthful or deceptive. In this
sense, it's similar to the phrase
"telling a story."
The plot is the sequence of
events in a story. It includes
the main events, conflicts, and
the resolution. It answers the
question, "What happens in
the story?"
Characters are the individuals or
entities that drive the story. They
can be people, animals, or even
abstract concepts. Characters
have traits, motivations, and
roles in the narrative.
The setting is where and when
the story takes place. It
includes details about the
location, time period, and the
overall environment, which can
significantly impact the
narrative.
Conflict is a central element of storytelling.
It represents the struggle or problem that
characters must face and resolve. There are
different types of conflict, including internal
(within a character) and external (between
characters or with external forces).
The resolution is the point in
the story where conflicts are
resolved, and loose ends are
tied up. It provides closure to
the narrative and may offer
insight or a moral lesson.
RESOLUTION
The theme is the central idea or
message that the story conveys.
It's the broader concept or
statement about life, society, or
human nature that the story
explores.
The point of view determines who is
telling the story and how much the
narrator knows. Common perspectives
include first-person (narrated by a
character in the story), third-person
limited (an external narrator with
access to one character's thoughts),
and third-person omniscient (an all-
knowing narrator).
Tone is the author's attitude or
emotional stance toward the
subject matter, while mood is the
emotional atmosphere created for
the reader. These elements can
influence how readers perceive and
connect with the story.
Symbolism involves the use of objects,
characters, or elements in the story to
represent abstract ideas, themes, or
concepts. Symbols can add depth and
layers of meaning to the narrative.
Foreshadowing hints at events
that will occur later in the story,
building anticipation. Flashbacks,
on the other hand, provide
information about events that
occurred in the past, offering
context or insight.
