Writing: Plot and Setting

Yes, the plot of a story typically revolves around the characters facing a problem or conflict that they must overcome. This problem creates tension and drives the story forward as the characters work towards resolution.

Plot in prose refers to the sequence of events that make up a story. It includes the central conflict, rising action, climax, and resolution. The plot drives the narrative forward and keeps readers engaged in the story.

He should consider the historical and cultural context of the time period in which the story is set, as well as the author's background and influences. Additionally, understanding the social and political climate can provide insight into the themes and messages of the story.

It means that there are really no original plots. All stories can be boiled down to basic plots that have been told over and over since humans first started telling stories. "Boy meets girl," quest stories, coming-of-age stories ... everything you've ever read is based on something a caveman first said back in the dawn of time.

A historical setting would be anything before the 21st century. Some examples would include 15th Century France, an Old West cattle drive, or an Irish church during a Viking raid.

An unexpected decrease of tension in a story that ends the plot without resolving the central conflict is called an "anti-climax." It can leave the audience feeling unsatisfied or disappointed due to the lack of a definitive resolution or climax after a build-up of tension. This literary device is often used for satirical or comedic effect.

I'm not sure you understand what the term means. "Plot" just means what happens in a story or novel. If you don't have a plot, you don't have a story. Nonfiction text usually does not have a plot.

The end of a dramatic plot is usually called the resolution or denouement.

You can end the story about a knight by highlighting the character's final triumph or defeat in a decisive struggle, illustrating the consequences of their actions, or reflecting on the impact of the knight's journey on themselves or others. Finally, you could end the story with a poignant or thought-provoking moral or lesson that ties together the themes of the narrative.

All of them. If you don't have exposition, you won't know what's going on; if you don't have rising action, there's no tension and the story is boring; if you don't have a climax, the story never ends and that's boring and confusing; if you don't have a denouement or wrap-up, the ending's not satisfying.

The theme of a story is the moral, or what the author wants the reader to take from the story, i.e. 'be careful what you wish for,' 'don't count your chickens before they're hatched,' 'don't judge a book by it's cover'. The theme is usually less obvious than the topic. The topic or main idea is what the story is about literally; i.e. the Holocaust, a wizarding world in which 3 main characters have adventures, a boy seeking out his future, talking bats, etc.

In order to learn how to generalize, you need to learn how to tell what's important and what isn't. The best way is to pretend you're telling the story to your best friend - but you only have five minutes to tell it because he or she has to leave on the next train. Telling them the story helps you to distill the general facts and learn how to generalize or summarize.
