Theme ● You can think of theme as the “why” behind the story. What is the big idea? Why
did the author write the story, and what message are they trying to convey?
● Some common themes in stories include:
Good versus evil - Coming of age – Love – Courage – Redemptio
Themes can also be warnings, such as the dangers of seeking revenge or the
effects of war.
Sometimes themes are social criticisms on class, race, gender, or religion.

Plot

The plot is the series of events that occur in a

story. It’s the beginning, middle, and end.

It’s easy to confuse conflict and plot.

SLIDESMANIA

Plot is what happens, while conflict is the

things standing in the way of different
characters’ goals. The two are inextricably

Setting
Setting is where and when the Point of View
story takes place, the physical
location and time period..
Some stories have only one
setting, while others have
several settings.
SLIDESMANIA
 Narrative Elements
Point of View Point of view determines whether we’re seeing something from
the narrator’s perspective or a character’s perspective

● First person POV; the narrator is telling the story

1 POV is divided into 2:
Reliable (telling us what happens is a way that is true and undistorted)
Unreliable: doesn’t tell the truth and complete story, maybe because the character is
immature or mentally undeveloped (like idiot, stupid or something)
1 POV isn’t always the main character
● Third POV; the narrator is outside the story
3rd POV is divided into three:
 Omniscient: literally knows about what’s going on in the story, the writer like the GOD, he/she even can know
what’s in the dog’s mind
 Limited: Outside narrator but can only know what the main character knows
SLIDESMANIA

 Objective: describe what’s happening but doesn’t know what anyone is thinking, and doesn’t give opinion about
what’s happening
● Addition: 2nd person POV is you are the main character

story. So, things like plants and non-living
objects would not normally be considered
characters, unless of course these things have
been personified and brought to life.

 PLOT
We will talk about this first.
SLIDESMANIA
 Batu Badaun
Once, there lived a widow of a rich man in a village on Tanimbar island, Maluku. She had two children, who had
already grown into a young man and a young woman they were both very mean and spoiled. They used to have
servants when their father was still alive, but the servants left after the man died. Now, it was their mother who
took care of them and did all the house hold chores, from coking the food to washing their clothes. The two
children treated their mother like a slave.

One day the two lazy young people woke up late. There was no food served on the table, which was very
unusual. Instead, the food was still cooking on the stove. Their mother was nowhere to be seen. The children
got so angry that they smashed the cooking pots on floor .

 They then went out look for their mother. they suspected that she was still washing their laundry and the dishes
at the river near their house. True enough, they soon saw her scrubbing their dirty clothes on the river stones.
They went to her, and while one of them held back her arms, the other started to beat her up viciously. The
mother cried piteously and begged for mercy, but the two wicked children didn’t pay attention to her cries. They
hit her again and again. The poor women kept on crying and struggling to free herself but it was in vain.

Suddenly she stopped crying and her body went limp. The children heard her say in a low voice, “your father left
us a lot of riches, but it won’t last forever. Even though it was only I who brought you into this word, from now
on you are no longer my children. You are the incarnation of the devil himself. I won’t go back to our home. Do
whatever you want, I don’t care.”
SLIDESMANIA
 After the said this, she dragged herself to a big boulder on the riverbank and said, “dear big stone, please open
yourself. Let me come inside you. Let me become a white sweet smelling jasmine to prove and lay herself down.
Slowly the stone closed over her.

After a few days a small beautiful plant started to grow from under the big stone. It grew and grew. It had plenty
of leaves and its flowers were white and sweet smelling. The people from the surrounding villages called the big
stone “Batu Badaun”.

And what became of the two wicked children? After the people found out what they had done, the angry
villagers threw them out of the village. The riches were taken away and given to the poor and needy. The wicked
children were never heard from again.
