Character and plot
Learning Objectives
To create a convincing character
To sustain a convincing character and
plot throughout the story
How does the poet create the voice
of a young boy for this poem?
How important is Point of View in a
story?
Convincing Characters
• How is the story by Elizabeth
Baines a good example of
creating a convincing point of
view or voice for the main
character?
• What other things make this
short story so successful?
Your main character needs to be
introduced quickly in a short story
• Think Appearance and Personality Traits
• Background – what happened to your character
in the past? Family? Important events in their
childhood or adult life?
• Describe them in a setting that would reflect their
personality.
• Like Crooks in Of Mice and Men focus on their
Possessions, Environment, What people say
about them and how they interact with other
people.
My character
• Enid Blythe, 83
• Born in 1923 in Monmouth.
• Worked as a florist in Monmouth
until she got married in 1939 but
her husband was killed in the war
when his plane was shot down
over Dresden.
• No children
• Lives in a village in a beautiful
Welsh valley.
• Her niece runs the florist shop
now – she gave it to her.
• She loves her garden
• She is a thin woman, with an
outdoor complexion – weathered
by the wind and rain.
Plot
The plot or storyline follows a narrative that is
interesting because it has five key stages:
1. Introduction
2. Complication
3. Conflict
4. Crisis
5. Resolution
In a short story, because time is limited writers
often play around with these conventions for effect.
