Plot Plot is the literary element that describes the structure of a story. It shows arrangement of events and actions within a story.
Plot Components Climax: the turning point, the most intense moment—either mentally or in action Rising Action: the series of conflicts and crisis in the story that lead to the climax Falling Action: all of the action which follows the climax Exposition: the start of the story, the situation before the action starts Resolution: the conclusion, the tying together of all of the threads
Plot: Conflict Conflict is the dramatic struggle between two forces in a story. Without conflict, there is no plot.
Character vs Character Character vs Nature Character vs Society Character vs Self Plot: Types of Conflict
Plot: Character vs. Character Conflict This type of conflict finds the main character in conflict with another character, human or not human. “The new one is the most beautiful of all; he is so young and pretty.” And the old swans bowed their heads before him. Then he felt quite ashamed, and hid his head under his wing; for he did not know what to do, he was so happy, and yet not at all proud. He had been persecuted and despised for his ugliness, and now he heard them say he was the most beautiful of all the birds. The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Anderson
Plot: Character vs. Nature Conflict This type of conflict finds the main character in conflict with the forces of nature, which serve as the antagonist. It´s a Truffula Seed. It´s the last one of all! You´re in charge of the last of the Truffula Seeds. And Truffula Trees are what everyone needs. Plant a new Truffula. Treat it with care. Give it clean water. And feed it fresh air. Grow a forest. Protect it from axes that hack. Then the Lorax and all of his friends may come back. The Lorax by Dr. Seuss
Plot: Character vs. Society Conflict This type of conflict has the main character in conflict with a larger group: a community, society, culture, etc. “I’m tired of living in a hole,” said Jenny. “Let’s fight for freedom!” cried Bouncer. “We’ll be soldiers! Rough-riding Rowdies! I’ll be the general and commander-in-chief!” The Island of the Skog by Steven Kellogg
Plot: Character vs. Self Conflict In this type of conflict, the main character experiences some kind of inner conflict. Finally, Sam’s father said, “Go to bed now. But before you go to sleep, Sam, tell yourself the difference between REAL and MOONSHINE.” Sam, Bangs & Moonshine by Evaline Ness
1. Your mom is driving you and your friends to a big game in another town. You left in plenty of time, but she seems to have lost her way. It's getting late and there's no sign of the gym. You think you saw a sign for the Sports Center a few blocks back. When you tell your mom, she says, "Who's driving: You or me?" 2. You have basketball practice, which you love, every Friday night. Last week, though, you missed it because of a family commitment. This week a friend has invited you to go to a great play. 3. Your class is working on social studies projects. Your group has been working hard on a three-dimensional representation of life along the Nile in Ancient Egypt. When the day comes for groups to share projects, you see that another group did the exact same thing!
4. You're skiing with a friend, not really paying attention to where you're going. Suddenly you find yourself atop a double black diamond icy slope — straight down! You've never skied anything like this before! 5. Last week a group of seventh-graders left a mess in the lunch room. They had to come back and clean it up. This week a group of sixth-graders did the same thing and the lunch room aids gave them all detention. 6. At a party you spent a lot of time talking to a friend from your math class — just chatting. His girlfriend, however, has spread rumors around school that you're trying to take him away from her.
7. Your school has a state level ice-hockey team — for boys. When you and a group of girlfriends want to start a girls' hockey program, you're told that, although it's a nice idea, there just isn't enough money in the athletic budget. 8. You have a book report due on Friday. Even though you've had several weeks to read, by Tuesday you've read only half the book. To make things worse, your teacher has stated, "I have high expectations for this assignment!" 9. You're taking a shortcut through the woods to your cousin's house — with your five-year-old sister in tow. She scratches her leg on a bush and whines, then it begins to rain very hard. You want to make a run for it, but your sister refuses to budge. You've never seen it rain like this before, and you've never been in this part of the woods.
