What is a story mountain?
A story mountain is the way a short story is structured.
The basic parts of a short story are:

  • The rising action (events that happen to main character)
  • Climax (turning point)
  • Falling Action (how the character solves his/her problem)

Characters
  • protagonist  = main character (hero)
  • antagonist = the villain
  • flat = uncomplicated character, does not change throughout the story, and you do not know much about them.
  • round = complex character, changes throughout the story.
  • stock = stereotypical character (the joker, the dumb character)

Flat characters are two-dimensional in that they are relatively uncomplicated and do not change throughout the course of a work.

By contrast, round characters are complex and undergo development, sometimes sufficiently to surprise the reader.
