discuss with your interviewee before the interview.
151.
152. HOW TO WRITE EFFECTIVE QUESTIONS
- As a good interviewer, you need to be selective with the
questions you have because not all questions are effective
during an interview.
159. - It simply means focusing on what is
significant on the information you
have listened to. You decide, from
among everything that you are
listening to, what is most important to
attend to and remember.
160. - IMPORTANT INFORMATION
refers to main ideas or key topics
that you need to better understand
the concept you are listening to
while interesting information is
little detail or additional detail,
which could be a cool fact,
distractor, or less important
concept, that is present in the
article (Allen & Reason, 2015).
161. This means that it helps you filter information
and organize your thinking around big ideas.
Filtering means selecting only the information
necessary to better understand the selection
that you are listening to (“Introduction,” 2020).
162.
163.
164. According to Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis (2000) (as cited by
Draper, 2011) determining the worth of ideas mentioned in the text
listened to varies by genre:
- In narrative genres, determining importance asks the reader to identify
main ideas and infer themes of the story. It’s mostly about recognizing the
elements of a story to better grasp its summary.
165. - In nonfiction, determining importance is more on retaining important
information and learning from the text. Listeners must be able to shift
through information and decide what is most important. To determine
importance in nonfiction, readers must understand many features and
structures specific to the genre.
171. What is conflict?
“In literature, a conflict is a literary
device characterized by a struggle
between two opposing forces.
Conflict provides crucial tension in
any story and is used to reveal a
deeper meaning in a narrative while
highlighting characters’ motivations,
values and weaknesses.”
172. Conflict is an important element in the study of stories, novels, plays, movies etc.
What are the two categories of conflict?
1. Internal Conflict is when a character struggles with their own opposing
desires or beliefs. Internal conflict happens within them and it drives their
development as a character.
2. External Conflict sets a character against something or someone
beyond their control. External forces stand in the way of a character’s
motivations and create a tension as the character tries to reach their goals.
173. 6 TYPES OF LITERARY CONFLICTS?
1. Character vs. Self
- This is an internal conflict, meaning that the opposition the
character faces is coming within. This may entail a struggle to
discern what the moral or “right” choice is, or it may also
encompass mental health struggles. All other types of conflict
are external – meaning that a character comes up against an
outside force that creates a conflict.
174. 6 TYPES OF LITERARY CONFLICTS?
2. Character vs. Character
- This is a common type of conflict in which one character’s
needs or wants are at odds with another’s. A character conflict
can be depicted as a straight-forward fist fight, or as intricate
and nuanced as the ongoing struggle for power in the HBO
series of Game of Thrones.
175. 6 TYPES OF LITERARY CONFLICTS?
3. Character vs. Nature
-In a nature conflict, a character is set in opposition to nature. This can
mean the weather, the wilderness, or a natural disaster.
4. Character vs. Supernatural
- Pitting characters against phenomena like ghosts, gods, or monsters raises
the stakes of a conflict by creating an unequal playing field. Supernatural
conflict also covers characters, like Harry Potter or Odysseus, who have a
fate or destiny and struggle to accept the sacrifices that come along with it.
176. 6 TYPES OF LITERARY CONFLICTS?
5. Character vs. Technology
- In this case, a character is in conflict with some kind of
technology. It is the hallmark of science fiction, which explores
the problems that arise when technology grows beyond its
intended use.
177. 6 TYPES OF LITERARY CONFLICTS?
6. Character vs. Society
- A character vs. society conflict is an external conflict that
occurs in literature when the protagonist is placed in
opposition with the society, the government, or a cultural
tradition or societal norm of some kind. Characters may be
motivated to take action against their society by a need to
survive, a moral sense of right and wrong, or a desire for
happiness, freedom, justice or love.
178. WHY IS CONFLICT IMPORTANT IN A STORY?
-Most of the time, readers become more interested in a literary
piece because of the tension in the story. Readers are simply
hooked in order to discover which of the characters or forces will
eventually prevail. Conflict is a necessary element for all stories
whether it is a novel, short story, mystery, romance, children’s
story because it makes the plot interesting and exciting. A conflict
in a literary piece also reveals opposing beliefs and truths about
life that readers can easily relate to.
179. HOW ARE CONFLICTS RESOLVED IN A STORY?
- In actuality, conflict is not always bad and does not have to
result in violence or hurt feelings. Conflicts are part of everyday
life and they cannot be avoided. However, whether a conflict
escalates, ends negatively or is resolved and ends peacefully in a
literary selection, is entirely based on the choices a character/s
make. The choices made by a character in a story reveals his/her
feelings, values and attitudes. Most often than not, his/her
response to a conflict determines how a situation ends.
187. WHAT IS FICTION?
- is a term used to describe e an
imaginative work of prose, either a
folktale, a myth, a novel, a short story
or a novella. It is the creation of the

1. CHARACTER/S.
-This element refers to a
representation of a human being or
any other creature in the course of
the story. A character can be any
person, a figure, an animate object,
or animal usually endowed with
human qualities. The characters are
the people or any figures in the story.
189. 2. POINT-OF-VIEW.
- Point of view is the perspective from which the story or work is
told. It is also defined as the eyes and mind through which the
reader views the unfolding of events. It tells through whose eyes
we are seeing the story and as well reveals the attitude of the
writer toward the character.
190. 3. PLOT.
- This refers to the series or sequence of e vents that give a
story its meaning and effect. It is built around the events that
take place within a definite period. This is what happens to the
characters found in the work.

192. 4. SETTING AND ATMOSPHERE.
- Setting is the story’s time and place. Setting is
made up of geographical location, its
topography, scenery, physical arrangements, the
occupations and the daily living of the
characters, the time or period in which the
actions take place. Setting tells when and where
the events occurred.

194. 5. CONFLICT.
- A story without conflict or problem is lifeless.
Every good story must have a conflict. Conflict is a
problem or obstacle encountered by the character
within the story. Conflict creates tension and
interest in a story by adding doubt as to the
outcome.
