10 ELEMENTS OF LITERATURE (FROM A TO Z)
1 PLOT (series of events which make-up a story)
A 5-POINT PLOT SEQUENCE:
Exposition: initial part of a story where readers are exposed to setting and characters.
Situation: event in the story which kicks the action forward and begs for an outcome.
Complication: difficulties faced by characters as they experience internal and external conflicts.
Climax: watershed moment when it becomes apparent that major conflicts will be resolved.
Resolution: (Denouement): tying up of the loose ends of the story.
B SUB-PLOTS: PLOTS BENEATH AND AROUND THE MAJOR PLOT.
Foreshadowing: hints and clues of plot.
Flashback: portion of a plot when a character relives a past experience.
Frame story: plot which begins in the present, quickly goes to the past for story, then returns.
Episodic plot: a large plot sequence that is made up of a series of minor plot sequences.
Plausibility: likelihood that certain events within a plot can occur.
Soap Opera: multiple stories told along the sequence and spaced to sustain continual interest.
2 POINT OF VIEW (eyes through which a story is told)
C First Person major (participant major): narrator is the major character in the story.
First Person minor (participant minor): narrator is a minor character in the story.
Third Person omniscient (non-participant omniscient): narrator is outside the story and capable of
seeing into the heart, mind and motivations of all characters.
Third Person limited (non-participant limited): narrator is outside the story and capable of seeing, at
most, into the heart, mind, and motivations of one character. Narrator is
objective if not omniscient.
3 SETTING (time and place of a story, both physical and psychological)
D Physical (external) Setting: the time and place of a story, general and specific.
Psychological (internal) Setting: mood, tone, and temper of story.
E Major Tempers: Romanticism: man is free to choose against moral, spiritual backdrops. If you make
good decisions, you will be rewarded. There is a God that is in control
Existentialism: man is free to choose absent backdrops other than his own. If he feels it is right, then it is
right.
Naturalism: man is largely trapped, a cog in the impersonal machinery. He has no real way of
changing his circumstances.
Realism: eclectic view, but leaning toward the naturalistic position. Sometimes good things happen to
bad people, and sometimes bad things happen to good people. That is just the way it is.
F Other Tempers: Classicism: Man is free, but appears to be trapped due to conflicting codes.
Transcendentalism: Offshoot of romanticism, nature is a window to divine.
Nihilism: Fallout of either extreme existentialism or naturalism. Life is horrible and painful. It
lacks meaning.
4 CONFLICT (nature of the problems faced)
G Four Universal Conflicts: Person versus self

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. WHY ARE STORIES, PASSAGES,
ARTICLES, NOVELS ETC WRITTEN?
•WHY DO YOU THINK?
•EVERY PASSAGE, OR SELECTION IS WRITTEN TO
EITHER: ENTERTAIN, INSTRUCT, INFORM, OR
PERSUADE.
•PEOPLE ENJOY BEING ENTERTAINED, LEARNING
WHEN THEY ARE INFORMED OR INSTRUCTED,
AND EVALUATING NEW IDEAS WHEN THEY ARE
PERSUADED.
3. WHEN YOU’RE READING PASSAGES OR
SELECTIONS, THEY FOLLOW THESE ELEMENTS
• CHARACTER
• THEME
• PLOT
• POINT OF VIEW
• SETTING
• CONFLICT
• TONE
4. CHARACTER
• 2 TYPES
• PROTAGONIST: One or more
characters are clearly central to
the story with all major events
having some connection to the
character.
• ANTAGONIST: One or more
characters or events in
opposition to the main
character(s).
5. EXAMPLES OF CHARACTERS
•STORY: Brothers in
Arms

brother’s death;
Moving cities; Steve
(football player)
•STORY: Survivor
•Protagonist: Tarah
Wallace:
•Antagonist: Uncle
Rudy raped her when
she was a little girl
6. THEME
• THEME is underlying
message, or 'big idea.' In other
words, what critical belief
about life is the author trying
to convey in the writing of a
novel, play, short story or
poem?
• In other words, its your
interpretation of what you
think the author is trying to
say in the story
7. CAN YOU GUESS THE
THEME IN THIS STORY?
• STORY: Promises to Keep
• SUMMARY: No one likes Tyray Hobbs. Once a
feared bully, he’s become an outcast. At Bluford
High, his peers taunt him for how he treated them.
At home, his parents punish him for the trouble
he’s caused. Unable to escape his reputation or his
past, Tyray is desperate. And when an unlikely
friendship develops, he clings to it like a lifeline.
Now that connection is threatened, and Tyray faces
his toughest decision yet. Will his next move lead
him to ruin or redemption—or both?
8. PROMISES TO KEEP
• THEME:
•BULLYING IS NOT OKAY
• VIOLENCE IS NEVER THE
ANSWER
•NEVER TAKE ANYONE FOR
GRANDTED
9. PLOT
• A plot's structure is the way in which the story
elements are arranged. Writers vary structure
depending on the needs of the story. For
example, in a mystery, the author will withhold
plot exposition until later in the story.
11. POINT OF VIEW
• HOW THE STORY IS TOLD
• A STORY IS TOLD IN EITHER:
FIRST, SECOND, OR THIRD
PERSON
12. SETTING
• Where the story takes place.
• Setting of a story examines:
• a) place - geographical location. where is the action of the story taking
place?
• b) time - when is the story taking place? (historical period, time of day,
year, etc.)
• c) weather conditions - is it rainy, sunny, stormy, etc?
• d) social conditions - what is the daily life of the characters like? does the
story contain local colour (writing that focuses on the speech, dress,
mannerisms, customs, etc. of a particular place)?
• e) mood or atmosphere - what feeling is created at the beginning of the
story? is it bright and cheerful or dark and frightening?
13. CONFLICT
• Conflict is the essence of fiction. It creates plot. The
conflicts we encounter can usually be identified as one of
FOUR kinds.
Human versus
Human
Conflict that pits one
person against
another.
Human versus Nature
This involves a run-in with the
forces of nature.
14. CONFLICT CONT.
Human versus Society
The values and customs by which
everyone else lives are being
challenged. The character may
come to an untimely end as a result
of his or her own convictions. The
character may, on the other hand,
bring others around to a sympathetic
point of view, or it may be decided
that society was right after all.
Human versus Self
Internal conflict. Not all
conflict involves other
people. Sometimes
people are their own
worst enemies. An
internal conflict is a
good test of a
character’s values.
15. TONE
TONE IS HOW THE
AUTHOR CONVEYS THEIR
FEELINGS TOWARDS THE
CHARACTERS IN THE
STORY.
ESSENTIALLY IT IS HOW
THE AUTHOR FEELS
ABOUT THE SUBJECT
