3. Setting
• Setting is the “where and when”
of a story. It is the time and place
during which the story takes place.
4. Setting
Details that describe:
Furniture
Scenery
Customs
Transportation
Clothing
Dialects
Weather
Time of day
Time of year
Time and place are where the action occurs
5. The Functions of a Setting
To create a mood or
atmosphere
To show a reader a
different way of life
To make action seem
more real
To be the source of
conflict or struggle
To symbolize an idea
6. Mood
• Mood is the feeling that the author tries to convey
throughout the story. The atmosphere or emotional
condition created by the piece, within the setting.
Does the author want the reader to be frightened
or sad, or does the story make the reader laugh
and think happy thoughts?
• To figure out mood, examine how you feel while
reading the story. Often mood is conveyed by the
story’s setting.
8. Characters
• Protagonist and antagonist are used to describe
characters.
• The protagonist is the main character of the
story, the one with whom the reader identifies.
This person is not necessary “good”.
• The antagonist is the force in opposition of the
protagonist; this person may not be “bad” or
“evil”, but he/she opposes the protagonist in a
significant way
9. Plot (definition)
• Plot is the organized
pattern or sequence of
events that make up a story.
• Plot is the literary element
that describes the structure
of a story. It shows
arrangement of events and
actions within a story.
10. Parts of aPlot
Exposition - introduction; characters, setting and
conflict (problem) are introduced
Rising Action- events that occur as result of
central conflict
Climax- highest point of interest or suspense of a
story
Falling Action - tension eases; events show the
results of how the main character begins to resolve
the conflict
Resolution- loose ends are tied up; the conflict is
solved
12. 1.Exposition
• This usually occurs at the beginning of a short story.
Here the characters are introduced. We also learn
about the setting of the story. Most importantly, we
are introduced to the main conflict (main problem).
13. 2. Rising Action
• This part of the story begins to develop the conflict(s). A
building of interest or suspense occurs and leads to the
climax. Complications arise
14. 3. Climax
• This is the turning point of the story. Usually the main
character comes face to face with a conflict. The main
character will change in some way. This is the most intense
moment.
15. 4. Falling Action
• Action that follows
the climax and
ultimately leads to
the resolution
16. 5. Resolution
• The conclusion; all loose
ends are tied up.
• Either the character
defeats the problem,
learns to live with the
problem, or the problem
defeats the character.

20. Conflict
Conflict is the dramatic struggle
between two forces in a story. Without
conflict, there is no plot.

issue between the protagonist and antagonist
forces. It forms the basis of the plot.
Conflicts can be external or internal
External conflict- outside force may be
person, group, animal, nature, or a
nonhuman obstacle
Internal conflict- takes place in a character’s
mind

character from the story is telling the
story; uses the pronouns “I” and “me”
• Third Person Point of View- an
outside narrator is telling the story;
uses the pronouns “he”, “she”, “they”
25. Types of Third-Person
Point of View

thoughts and feelings
on only ONE character
in a story.

26. Theme
The theme is the central, general
message, the main idea, the controlling
topic about life or people the author wants
to get across through a literary work
To discover the theme of a story, think big.
What big message is the author trying to say
about the world in which we live?
What is this story telling me about how life
works, or how people behave?
27. The Theme is also
• the practical lesson ( moral) that we learn
from a story after we read it. The lesson that
teaches us what to do or how to behave after
you have learned something from a story or
something that has happened to you.
Example: The lesson or teaching of the story
is be careful when you’re offered something
for nothing.
