  1. Intrinsic Elements (Part 2: Setting, theme, plot and Point of View)

  2. Setting The setting of a literary work is the time and place of the action. • The setting includes all the details of a place and time – the year, the time of day, even the weather. • The place may be a specific country, state, region, community, neighborhood, building, institution, or home. • The setting of a story often helps to create a particular mood, or feeling.

  3. Try to determine the setting

  4. Theme • The theme of a literary work is its central message, concern, or purpose. • A theme can usually be expressed as a generalization, or general statement, about people or life. • The theme may be stated directly by the writer although it is more often presented indirectly. • When the theme is stated indirectly, the reader must figure out the theme by looking carefully at what the work reveals about the people or about life.

  5. Plot Plot is the literary element that describes the structure of a story. It shows arrangement of events and actions within a story.

  6. Plot Components Climax: the turning point, the most intense moment—either mentally or in action Falling Action: all of the action which follows the climax Rising Action: the series of conflicts and crisis in the story that lead to 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
