Narrative identity part 2
Narrative comes from the Latin verb narrate, “to tell”;
A narrative is a “story” that describes a sequence of nonfictional or fictional events.
The concept of narrative identity is fundamental to the notion of selfhood and self-understanding has been elaborated by the French philosopher Paul Ricoeur.
For Paul Ricoeur, narrative identity is “the sort of identity to which a human being has access thanks to the mediation of the narrative function” (Ricoeur, 1991, p. 73).
In logic, it designates a proposition whose terms express an identity or denote the same thing, as
“a man is a man.” or

Elements of Fiction Analysis
Character
The purpose of literature is not to simply reveal information, but to reveal something about the characters and their lives – to reveal the human condition. The protagonist is the central character, or hero, and is considered dynamic. In other words, the character grows as a person, learns a vital lesson, or becomes something else. A static character, despite credibility, does not change in the story.
Point of View (POV)
Stories are told from the point of view of a narrator. When the narrator is a character it is referred to as first-person narration. If we have reason to doubt the information we are getting, we call the narrator unreliable. In third person narration, the narrator can have omniscience (all-knowing) or limited omniscience (narrator tells us the feelings/thoughts of only one character). Stream of consciousness narration shows us the continuous stream of inner feelings and thoughts of one character.
Plot & Conflict
Plot is a linked chain of events. A narrator may present these events out of chronological order through a flashback. A complication in the character’s lives introduces the story’s conflict, which occurs when the protagonist struggles against an antagonist or opposing force. There are four different kinds of conflict:
Person-against-self - an internal conflict of feelings.
Person-against-person - the typical protagonist vs. antagonist scenario. Person-against-society - the protagonist battles against the larger organizations of
society (or a system of beliefs held by society).
Person-against-nature - the protagonist is threatened by a component of nature.
The chain of events, known as the rising action, builds to a climax, the point in a story where the conflict is decided. Sometimes a writer will use the technique of foreshadowing by planting clues about the outcome or about conflict that will occur later in the story. Following the climax is a resolution, or denouement. In a closed ending, loose ends are tied up – the fate and perhaps the future of the characters is revealed. An open ending does not offer a complete resolution – the reader is left to imagine the fate of the characters.
Theme
Theme in literature is the idea that holds the story together, such as a comment about society, human nature, or the human condition. It is the main idea or central meaning of a piece of writing.
Symbol/Motif
The writer may use a symbol, a person, object, situation, or action that operates on two levels of meaning. A motif is an image, object, character, situation, theme, or word that the writer uses repeatedly throughout a story – many times it carries a symbolic meaning.
Setting
Setting is the locale in which you find the characters. Description of setting can establish the atmosphere, mood, or tone of the story, the emotional state the writer wants you to be in while you read the story.

Transactional Approach & Literary Elements.pdf
Louise Rosenblatt developed the transactional theory of reader response, which holds that meaning is created through an active interaction between the reader and the text, rather than being inherent in the text itself. She described two stances a reader can take - the efferent stance, where the focus is on retaining factual information, and the aesthetic stance, where the reader has a lived experience interacting with characters and events in the text. Literary elements like character, setting, plot, theme, and diction are tools authors use to craft stories and convey meaning. Character development includes physical descriptions and how others react to characters. Setting can be backdrop or integral to the story. Common plot structures include linear, episodic, and circular. Theme expresses

Setting the settling side of fiction
This document discusses the role and influence of setting in fiction. It argues that setting, which includes both place and time, is more than just a backdrop - it actively influences the plot, characters, and themes of a work. The setting can impact how quickly or slowly the plot progresses, influence what types of characters are present and how they behave, and shape the ideas and perspectives that emerge through character dialogues. A work's setting immerses the reader in a particular atmosphere and culture that enhances their understanding of the story. Rather than being a passive element, setting has an omnipresent and dynamic role in fictional works.
Theme symbols and motifs
The document discusses several key literary elements including theme, symbolism, and motifs. It defines theme as the central idea or message of a work that provides insight into life or human nature. Themes can be directly stated or implied through elements like plot and characters. Symbolism uses objects, events, or relationships to represent other ideas and reinforce meaning. Motifs are recurring images, words, or actions that create unity and sometimes help convey the theme. Common themes and motifs in literature are also listed.

Elements of a story.pptx
- 2. ANALYZING THE ELEMENTS OF A STORY PLOT CHARACTERS SETTING CONFLICT RESOLUTION THEME POINTOF VIEW SYMBOLISM TONEAND MODE FORSHADOWING AND FLASHBACK
- 3. 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.
- 4. DIFFERENT TYPES OF ELEMENTS IN A STORY
- 5. 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.
- 6. 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.
- 7. 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.
- 8. 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.
- 9. 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."
- 10. 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?"
- 11. 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.
- 12. 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.
- 13. 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).
- 14. 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
- 15. 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.
- 16. 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).
- 17. 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.
- 18. 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.
- 19. 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.
