DEFINITION

I.Elements Plot-sequence(Plot devices used by:narrator/writer

>Intro
An introduction, or intro for short, is the portion of a written or spoken work that sets the stage
for what follows. The introduction provides context, background information, and an overview
of the main points or arguments that will be presented in the work. It is typically located at the
beginning of a document, speech, presentation, or other form of communication. A well-written
introduction can help to grab the reader's or audience's attention and encourage them to keep
reading or listening to the work.
>Rising Action
The rising action is a literary device used in storytelling and refers to the events occurring in a
plot that build up towards the climax. It is the stage in a plot where the main character faces
obstacles or conflicts that steadily increase in intensity, gradually building suspense and tension.
During this phase, the story usually introduces new characters, adds complications to the plot,
and reveals more information about the conflict or challenge faced by the protagonist.
Ultimately, the rising action leads to the climax, which is the most intense and decisive moment
of the story.
>Climax
The climax or the climax action is the highest point of tension or conflict in a story, often
described as the turning point where the main character faces their biggest challenge. It is the
moment when the stakes are highest and the outcome of the story is in question. The climax is
typically where the most pivotal events occur and where the story's conflicts reach a resolution,
leading to the story's conclusion. The climax can be a physical action or an emotional
realization, but it is always a moment of intense drama that defines the story.
>Falling Action
Falling action is the phase in a narrative or story, typically following the climax, in which the
story's plot resolves and tensions ease. During falling action, the consequences of the climax are
presented and the conflicts faced by characters begin to be resolved. The tension and
excitement that were built up during the rising action and climax begin to dissipate. Falling
action represents the efforts of the characters to deal with and undo the damage created by the
rising action. Typically, the falling action leads towards the resolution of the story, allowing the
audience to reach a sense of closure and completion.
>Resolution
A resolution is a decision or determination to take a particular course of action or to achieve a
particular goal or objective. It is a formal statement expressing the intentions, beliefs, or
opinions of a group of people or an organization. Resolutions can be passed by various bodies
such as governments, councils, committees, or assemblies, and can have legal or moral
implications. They are often used to address issues or problems within a community or to make
a commitment to a specific action or cause.

II.Character
A character is a person, animal, or object depicted in a work of art, literature, or media. It is
often used to refer to a fictional individual or entity that is developed with unique traits, skills,
and personality, and plays a role in a story or narrative. In literature and storytelling, characters
are essential in driving the plot forward, creating tension or conflict, and conveying themes or
messages. Characters may be protagonist (main character), antagonist (opposing character),
supporting characters, or minor characters.
III.Point Of View
Point of view refers to the perspective from which a story or a narrative is told. It refers to the
position or angle from which the events in the story are viewed or presented to the reader. This
can include the narrator's personality or relationship to the story and characters, and how they
interpret and relate the events to the reader. There are several types of point of view, including
first-person, second-person, and third-person point of view.
IV.Symbolism
Symbolism is the use of symbols, objects, or images to represent abstract ideas or concepts.
These symbols can be physical objects, metaphors, or even actions or events. Symbolism is
often used in literature, art, religion, and other forms of expression to convey deeper meanings
beyond what is explicitly stated. The interpretation of symbols can vary depending on cultural
and personal contexts, and they often evoke strong emotional responses from the viewer or
reader.
V.Theme
A theme refers to the central idea or underlying message that is conveyed through a written
work, a speech, a story, or any other form of art. It is usually an abstract concept or a broad
subject that is woven throughout the work and helps to unify the various elements of the piece.
The theme often reflects a universal human experience or emotion, such as love, loss, courage,
or freedom, that can resonate with the audience and evoke emotional responses. The theme is
not explicitly stated but is revealed through the actions, characters, and events in the work.
