Understanding Plot
The plot of a story generally follows a specific structure and includes these five elements:
Exposition:
What you need to know. Background information is presented, main characters are introduced, and the conflict is established.
Rising Action:
The conflicts and challenges encountered by the characters. How they respond keeps the story moving forward.
Climax:
The turning point in the conflict. Tension builds until the main character must make a decision or take action that determines the direction of the story.
Falling Action:
The events that occur after the main character makes the key decision in the story.
Resolution:
The resolution is where all the questions are answered and loose ends are tied, providing a clear ending.
A plot diagram illustrates where these elements fall in a narrative.

5 Important Elements of a Short Story
The 5 key elements that make up a short story are:
Characters
Setting
Conflict
Theme
Plot
Character

Characters and how we get to know them:
Through the author’s physical description of them
Through their actions
Through their words (dialogue)
Through their inner thoughts
Through what other characters say and think about them
Setting
Setting is the time and place that a story occurs.
Authors often use descriptions of landscape, scenery, buildings, seasons or weather to provide a strong sense of setting.
Theme
Theme is the meaning behind events and characters’ actions in a story.
The theme is the central idea, message, or purpose in a short story.
A theme can be expressed as a general statement about people or life.
It is NOT plot summary.
It can be either directly or indirectly stated by the author. Most likely indirectly.
Conflict
Conflict is any of the problems that a character encounters in a story.
The conflict is a struggle between two people or things in a short story.
The main character is on one side of the main conflict.
Conflicts can be:
1. External – conflict with others and with nature
2. Internal – conflict within themselves
The main character may struggle:
against another important character
against the forces of nature
against society
against something inside himself or herself (feelings, emotions, illness).
