Plot Development
For your test, it is important to be able to describe what conflict of problem the main character has to solve in the story. The things that the main character does to solve the problem is called the plot development
By solving all the problems and obstacles, the person changes. So plot development is related to character development.

 Conflict
Conflict drives the story development. The conflict can come from:

  1. Other people
  2. Himself (feeling conflict inside, guilt, worry, etc)
  3. Organisations/authority (police, doctors, etc)
  4. Nature (natural disasters like floods, electricity shortages, lightening, earthquake, etc.)
