Questions:

Any questions so far????

Literary terms / Literaire begrippen:

Major characters

• Protagonist: This is your leading man or woman. It’s the person the novel is “about,” or the character whose story lies at the novel’s core.
  
• Antagonist: A character in a story who is presented as the chief foe (opposite/bad guy) of the protagonist.
  

Literary terms / Literaire begrippen:

Major character = round character

• Make stories more realistic and authentic in their emotion. They have behaviors and personalities we recognize from real life.
• Generate intrigue via their complexities and surprising actions. We want to know more about them.
• Are memorable and relatable. We identify and empathize with them, and become invested in the outcome of their story.

Literary terms / Literaire begrippen:

Minor characters

• will receive very little “screen time” and are unlikely to be a viewpoint character.
• won’t have their own subplots. At least not a subplot of any great length or significance.
• appearances in the novel will be brief and infrequent. Although that doesn’t mean that they can’t shine whenever they are in the spotlight.

Minors are essentially two-dimensional stereotypes, or flat characters. So there’s no need to spend much time fleshing them out on paper before you begin to write.

Literary terms / Literaire begrippen:

Setting

• Location; include the environment of the story =  physical location, climate, weather, or social and cultural surroundings.

• Time; character’s time of life, the time of day, time of year, time period (past, present, or future)
  

Literary terms / Literaire begrippen:

Themes:
The central idea, topic, or point of a story, essay, or narrative is its theme.

a. Major Themes

• important and enduring themes of the narrative.
  
• are a part of the entire story. Ex: A book on war would have the major theme of war’s effect on humanity. A romance novel would have the major theme of love.

Literary terms / Literaire begrippen:

b. Minor Themes
Minor themes are; less important and less enduring, appear for part of the narrative, are replaced by another minor theme later in the narrative, provide discussion points for a chapter or two, do not influence the entire story.

List of most common themes:

•    Good vs. evil.
•    Love.
•    Redemption; someone is saved from evil
•    Courage and perseverance.
•    Coming of age.
•    Revenge.

Examples:

A book on war may have minor themes such as the home front’s reaction or the political aspects of war. A romance novel may have minor themes such as flirtation,  marriage, and fidelity.

Literary terms / Literaire begrippen:

Plot:

Plots include the most significant events of the story and how the characters and their problems change over time.

Plots are typically made up of five main elements:
1. Exposition: Beginning of the story = introduction characters, setting, and the main conflict
2. Rising Action: Crisis of main character = events leading up to conflict & story becomes complicated.
3. Climax: Peak of the story = a major event occurs = main character faces a major enemy, fear, challenge, or other source of conflict.
4. Falling Action: The story begins to slow down and work towards its end, tying up loose ends.
5. Resolution: Like a concluding paragraph that resolves any remaining issues and ends the story.
