  7. Point of View It is the position from which the story is told (narrator) 2 types : • 1st person point of view: the person telling the story is in the story. The reader can only know what the narrator sees, hears, and thinks. (ex : “When I left the store, I walked ten blocks to go back to my home. I was so tired that I decided to go straight to bed.”) 2) 3rd person point of view : the person telling the story (narrator) is not in the story. The reader can know the thoughts and feelings of all the characters. (ex : When Shane left the store, he walked ten blocks to go back to his home. He was so tired that he decided to go straight to bed”.

  8. Setting(5 W’s) Time(when): when the story is happening (year, month, day, season, etc.) Place(where): where the story is happening (city, country, school, home, etc.) Atmosphere(what) : what is going on ? (nervous, tense, happy, etc.) Condition(why) : why is this story happening ? (has a big exam, is fighting in a war, got his drivers license, etc.) Occupation (who) : what are the jobs of the main characters ?

  9. Conflict A conflict is a struggle (problem) between two opposing forces or beliefs in a story. In a story, there is usually a protagonist and an antagonist. Protagonist : Usually the main character (« good guy ») Antagonist : Usually the character that creates a problem (« bad guy ») The conflict is often resolved when one force succeeds or fails in overcoming the opposing force.

  13. Theme The main idea, moral, or message of a story, often about life, society, or human nature. Ex : when you are kind and generous to others, good things will happen to you.
