- 2. PLOT or STORYLINE Plot is a literary term used to describe the events that make up a story or the main part of a story. These events relate to each other in a pattern or a sequence. The structure of a novel depends on the organization of events in the plot of the story. http://literarydevices.net/plot/ In my own words: Sequence of events in a literary device. My example: In a futuristic Chicago, society is divided into 5 factions. Abnegation the selfless, Dauntless the brave, Erudite the intelligent, Candor the honest, and Amity the peaceful. When all teenagers reach the age of 16, they must choose to either stay in their faction of birth, or transfer into another faction. Beatrice Prior must make the decision to stay with her family in a faction she feels she isn't right for, or to transfer into another faction, and leave her family behind. What follows is a highly competitive initiation, where the newly renamed Tris must make some tough decisions, but she must also keep a secret that she was warned could mean death, while she juggles friends, initiation, and a newfound love interest. But there is a secret lying beneath everything that threatens to tear the city apart. 1a

- 7. CLIMAX Climax isa structural part of a plot and is at times referred to as a crisis. http://literarydevices.net/climax/ In my own words: It is the most intense part of the story. Characters are experiencing troubles and conflicts. My example: Tris and Tobias need to fight the mind- controlled Dauntless soldiers in order to save the Abnegation. The Dauntless have no idea what they're doing and only the divergent (People who are immune to the simulations and could fit into more than one faction, including Tris and Tobias) are awake. Tris and Tobias get caught; they put Tobias under a special simulation for divergent rebels and they put Tris in a glass cube that they plan to drown her in because she got shot and is no use to them hurt. 4
