Genre: Mystery A suspenseful story about a puzzling event that is not solved until the end of the story.

Mystery Suspense – the part of the story that keeps the reader in doubt as to the outcome of a situation or the entire story. Mystery stories use clues to solve a crime or puzzle. This is often known as foreshadowing. Foreshadowing – a literary device where hints or clues suggest what will happen next in a story.

Story Elements Setting – the time and place in which a story happens. Characters – the personalities, people, or animals in the story. Main character(s) Secondary characters Plot – the action of the story; usually a series of events which build on one another from the beginning to the end of the story.

Story Elements PLOT includes Problem/Conflict Climax – the high point of the story; often the turning point in the story. The part that is usually the most exciting. Resolution

Story Elements Resolution – the end of the story when the problems are solved. Theme – the central idea or message in a piece of writing; not usually stated directly in the story, but must be inferred. Most stories will have more than one theme.
