Setting:

Setting is the time and place (or when and where) of the story.

Literature:

a. Major characters
These are the most important characters in the story.

• Protagonist – This is the main character, around which the whole story revolves. The decisions made by this character will be affected by a conflict from within, or externally through another character, nature, technology, society, or the fates/God.
• Antagonist – This character, or group of characters, causes the conflict for the protagonist.
  

Literature:

b. Minor characters
They are not as important as the major characters, but still play a large part in the story. Their actions help drive the story forward. They may impact the decisions the protagonist or antagonist make, either helping or interfering with the conflict. Minor characters may be more static.

• Foil – A foil is a character that has opposite character traits from another, meant to help highlight or bring out another’s positive or negative side. Many times, the antagonist is the foil for the protagonist.
• Static – Characters who are static do not change throughout the story.

Characters

• Dynamic – Dynamic characters change throughout the story. They may learn a lesson, become bad, or change in complex ways.
• Flat – A flat character has one or two main traits, usually only all positive or negative. They are the opposite of a round character. The flaw or strength has its use in the story.
• Round – These are the opposite of the flat character. These characters have many different traits, good and bad, making them more interesting.
• Stock – These are the stereotypical characters, such as the boy genius, ambitious career person, faithful sidekick, mad scientist, etc.

Literature:

Plot

In a narrative a plot is the sequence of events that make up a story. The plot is  how the story develops, unfolds, and moves in time. Five main elements:

1. Exposition: beginning of the story, characters, setting, and the main conflict are introduced.
2. Rising Action: The main character is in crisis and events leading up to facing the conflict begin to unfold. The story becomes complicated.
3. Climax: Peak of the story, a major event occurs in which the main character faces a major enemy, fear, challenge, or other source of conflict. The most action, drama, change, and excitement occurs here.
