Write a short story with its complete elements EN4WC-IId-20
II. Concept Notes
➢ A story has five basic but important elements. These five components are: the
characters, the setting, the plot, the conflict, and the resolution. These essential
elements keep the story running smoothly and allow the action to develop in a logical
way that the reader can follow.
1. CHARACTERS
The characters are the individuals that the story is about. The author should
introduce the characters in the story with enough information that the reader can
visualize each person. This is achieved by providing detailed descriptions of a
character’s physical attributes and personality traits. Every story should have a main
character. The main character determines the way the plot will develop and is
usually who will solve the problem the story centers upon. However, the other
characters are also very important because they supply additional details,
explanations, or actions.
2. SETTING
The setting is the location of the action. An author should describe the environment
or surroundings of the story in such detail that the reader feels that he or she can
picture the scene.
3. PLOT
The plot is the actual story around which the entire book is based. A plot should have
a very clear beginning, middle, and end—with all the necessary descriptions and
suspense, called exposition—so that the reader can make sense of the action and
follow along from start to finish.
4. CONFLICT / PROBLEM
Every story has a conflict to solve. The plot is centered on this conflict and the ways
in which the characters attempt to resolve the problem. When the story’s action
becomes most exciting, right before the resolution, it is called the climax.
5. RESOLUTION / SOLUTION
The solution to the problem is the way the action is resolved. It is important that
the resolution fit the rest of the story in tone and creativity and solve all parts of the
conflict. http://www.katiekazoo.com/pdf/KK_FiveEssentialElements.pdf
