The story is told using 1st person personal pronouns such as I, me, we, or us. • 3rd person limited • This is where the narrator is not a character in the story and talks about the characters. The narrator has a limited perspective and can only read one character's mind, feelings, and motives. • 3rd person omniscient • This is where the narrator is not a character in the story and is "all-knowing" . This type of narrator can read every character's feelings, motives, and thoughts.

  6. 2. Rising Action • This part of the story begins to develop the conflict(s). A building of interest or suspense occurs.

  7. 3. Climax • This is the turning point of the story. Usually the main character comes face to face with a conflict. The main character will change in some way.

  8. 4. Falling Action • All loose ends of the plot are tied up. The conflict(s) and climax draw to a close.
