Answer question :
1. Was the story arranged :
1) Identify the parts of the story in a flowchart. One of the more traditional ways to
compile stories is to use triangular flowcharts, also known as the Freytag
Pyramid. The Freytag Pyramid is divided into six sections: introduction, trigger
event, climb, climax, derivative, and resolution. This diagram looks like a triangle
or pyramid, with the introduction at the base of the triangle, followed by the
development of trigger and grade events. The tip of the triangle is the climax of
the story, which is then followed by a derivative and horizontally out of the
triangle, or resolution of the story.
2) Make a strong introduction. Although many novels begin by uncovering trigger
events, writing an introduction during the story planning stage may be useful.
Recognizing the introduction to the story can also help identify the protagonist
and the main theme or idea in the story.
3) The introduction must include the setting of the story, information about the
protagonist, and the introduction of the protagonist conflict. This part might be a
 few lines discussing these elements or the actual scene where your protagonist is
talking to another character and moving to and fro in the setting of the story.
4) identification of trigger events. Triggering events in the story are events that
change the life path of the main character. This event must be shocking and risky
for the protagonist. Oftentimes, trigger events occur right after the introduction is
introduced in a novel.
5) Make a climb. The climb from the trigger event to the climax is often the longest
part of the novel or story. In the incline, you will develop characters, explore their
relationships with each other, and roll out all the important events that will allow
you to reach a climax. The closer to the climax, the climb must be more tense.
2. Chronological setting, the “when,” can be equally general or specific.
The author’s choices are important.  Shirley Jackson gives virtually no clues as to where
or when her story “The Lottery” is set. Examination suggests that she wants the story to
be universal, not limited by time or place. The first two stories you will read each
establish a fairly specific physical setting; consider what each setting brings to each story.
3. Setting is an important element in a narrative. The term setting is often used to refer to
the social milieu in which the events of a novel occur[3] and novelist Donna Levin has
described how this social milieu shapes the characters’ values.[4] The elements of the
story setting include the passage of time, which may be static in some stories or dynamic
in others with, for example, changing seasons.
A setting can exist in three basic forms. One is the natural world, or in an "outdoor"
place. In this setting, the natural landscapes of the world play an important part in a
narrative, along with living creatures and different times of weather conditions and
seasons. The second form exists as the cultural and historical background in which the
narrative resides. Past events that have impacted the cultural background of characters or
locations are significant in this way. The third form of a setting is a public or private
place that has been created/maintained and/or resided in by people. Examples of this
include a house, a park, a street, a school, etc.[5]
4. Evaluating Character :
 Consider the communication style. Maybe you are interacting with a new person. Or
perhaps you are trying to get a better sense of someone who is already part of your
life. Judging someone's character can help you understand them, and noticing how
they communicate is helpful.[1]Pay attention to the amount of talking that is being
done. Is the person you are evaluating speaking more than anyone else in the room? If
the conversation seems very one-sided, it is possible that the person you are observing
is not a very good listener. Controlling the conversation could also be a sign that the
person is somewhat domineering. These might not be traits that you enjoy being
around.
 Pay attention to body language. A person's body language is a good indicator of some
personality traits. For example, maybe you notice that very little eye contact occurs
when you speak to that person. That can indicate a few different things.[2]Refusing to
 make eye contact might indicate timidity. It could also indicate dishonesty or
insecurity. You can also use a person's handshake to evaluate their personality. A firm
handshake indicates confidence. A handshake that crushes your hand might indicate a
need to dominate. A very weak handshake can indicate lack of interest.
 Notice the energy in the room. Pay attention to how other people react to the person
you are evaluating. The energy level in the room can help you figure out some key
things about someone's character. Observe how the vibe changes when the new
person enters the room. Does the room suddenly seem quiet and uncomfortable? It
might be that the person makes others somewhat uneasy. Perhaps the room seems
lighter and happier. Maybe the person you are observing makes others feel at ease.
That could indicate kindness. Does this person seem to give energy or to suck it in? It
is always better to add to energy rather than deplete it. Ask yourself if you would be
comfortable taking a long car trip with this person. That can help you figure out how
you feel about them.
 Decide if you can trust the person. Trust is an important part of any good relationship.
This is true for personal and professional relationships. When you are judging
someone's character, take some steps to figure out if they are trustworthy.[3]Take a
look at their track record. Past performance is sometimes an indicator of future
actions. For example, maybe you are considering dating someone who you know
cheated on an ex. Mistakes do happen, and people often deserve a second chance. But
keep all relevant information in mind when forming an opinion. Do you have a co-
worker who is routinely late? If you cannot rely on someone to be on time, you might
not be able to trust them with greater responsibility. Give people a chance to prove
you can trust them. For example, if you have a new friend, see how she reacts when
you tell her some sensitive information. If she's kind and a good listener, she could be
trustworthy.
 Handle someone who is not nice. Unfortunately, you will sometimes have to be
around people who do not have good characteristics. You might have to figure out
how to deal with someone who is dishonest, or just plain rude. Learning to cope with
people who aren't nice can help you feel more comfortable about those interactions.
[4]Keep in mind that you can control your reactions. Just because someone else is
mean does not mean that you have to behave in kind. For example, if a co-worker
makes a snide remark about your cluttered desk, just say something non-committal.
Try, "Yes, I guess I've been so busy I haven't had much time to straighten up. "Look
at the reason's behind someone's bad attitude. Does your sister continuously belittle
your choice to not have kids? It's possible that she is jealous that you can take a
vacation whenever you want. Remember that compassion is always a good choice.
Try to be kind, even when others are not.

- Method 2 of 3:
Judging Someone's Actions
  Observe interactions with strangers. Paying attention to the way someone acts can
help you figure out some key things about their character. It can be very
interesting to watch how someone interacts with people they don't know. Pay
attention to this in a variety of situations.[5]Maybe you are out on a first date. If
your companion treats the waiter rudely, that can be a negative sign. People who
are rude to strangers might also be rude to people they know. There might also be
issues with a superiority complex. Perhaps you are in a taxi with a new co-worker.
Observe how they treat the driver. If your colleague refuses to answer questions
or make small talk, that can reveal some negative things about character. It might
indicate an unwillingness to be kind to others.
5. In literature, symbolism is used to produce an impact, which it accomplishes by attaching
additional meaning to an action, object, or name. Symbolism takes something that is
usually concrete and associates or affixes it to something else in order to give it a new
and more significant meaning. In other words, symbolism allows a writer to convey
something to their audience in a poetic way instead of saying it outright. This indirect
approach allows an author to create nuance and complexity. The caveat for authors is that
the entire context of the story needs to support the symbol's meaning. For example, in
Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning 1960 book "To Kill a Mockingbird," the bird
symbolizes innocence and beauty. Lee chose the mockingbird because it's without guile.
A mockingbird's only purpose in life is to sing—it doesn't want to harm anyone. Because
of this, killing a Mockingbird is considered an act of senseless cruelty.
6. Function the first-person point of view allows readers to feel close to a specific
character's point of view; it lets the reader in, so to speak. It also provides writers with a
tool for crafting the readers' perspective on the fictional world.
The third-person objective mode employs a narrator who tells a story without describing
any character's thoughts, opinions, or feelings; instead, it gives an objective, unbiased
point of view. Often the narrator is self-dehumanized in order to make the narrative more
neutral.
