 According to Aguila, A. et al., (2017) in their book Telling the
Truth: The Art of Creative Nonfiction, different works of fiction
and drama may employ several elements, but generally, there
are four major elements that comprise a literary piece. These are:

Plot the sequence of events happening in a story

Setting the place and time where and when an event
happens
Characters the person who inhabits a story
Theme the central idea, or thesis, or overall message that
the story conveys

 In all stories fiction or nonfiction
there are people (characters) in a
place (setting) dealing with a
problem or conflict (plot) that leads
to a new understanding about life
(theme). These elements are utilized
both in nonfiction and drama
(Aguila, A. et al., 2017).

Devices

 Figurative language or literary
devices are the techniques that
composers use in their written
texts to help convey or heighten
meaning. Rather than writing in
plain language, composers give
more emphasis to their ideas by
utilizing literary devices to make
them standout.

sound the seashore”
2. Hyperbole uses exaggerated statements or claims not “I’ve told you a million
meant to be taken literally times.”
3. Metaphor compares two things that are not alike and “My heart is a lonely

alike. lonely hill”
4. Simile compares two things that are not really the “Antonio Luna is as brave

each other, usually using the words ‘like’ and
‘as’
5. Personification is a way of giving an inanimate object the “The sun smiled down on
