Setting: the location or period in which the action of a novel, play, film, etc., takes place Imagery: language that appeals to the senses, allows the reader to experience what the author is describing. You’ve heard the saying “a picture is worth a thousand words.” Authors use imagery to convey a mental picture for the reader—more than they could accomplish with literal words. Plot: Also called storyline. the plan, scheme, or main story of a literary or dramatic work, as a play, novel, or short story. Conflict: Conflict creates instability or uncertainty. The characters’ need to find resolution and answers is what drives the story forward External Conflict: A struggle between a character and an outside force Internal Conflict: A struggle within a character’s mind Types of Conflict: person vs. person • person vs. nature • person vs. self • person vs. society • person vs. machine

Point of View: who is telling the story First Person: The events are told by a character in the story using his or her own words. First-person stories have narrators who use I, me, and my throughout the story. Second Person: The narrator addresses the reader directly using the word you. This perspective is not as common as either the first- or third-person points of view. This sentence is an example of second- person point of view: “You knew it was risky, but you were willing to take that chance.” Third Person-Limited: A speaker outside the action narrates the events using the third person pronouns he, she, and they. In the limited third-person point of view, the narrator tells the events from the perspective of one specific character, focusing on this character’s thoughts and feelings. Third Person-Omniscient: A speaker outside the action narrates the events. In the omniscient third-person point of view, an all-knowing narrator not only tells what happens, but also may interpret events and describe the thoughts and feelings of any character
