V. ESSAY (Short Answer)

41-45. What is the most important of the elements of the story?

One of the most crucial elements of literature is character development. A
significant stage in the story process for an author is creating a lead character and
supporting cast. Your story's point of view is affected by character, especially if you
choose to tell it in first-person rather than third-person.

46-50. How is the theme important or contributes to the story?

A story's theme is significant because it plays a role in the author's motivation for
constructing the story. The author portrays his story as a vehicle to communicate a
message to readers that he wants to get through. Most significantly, theme makes it
possible for readers to relate with the characters' problems and feel attached in the
outcome. That's why we first started reading books and creating stories.
