Semester B Unit 1 Lesson 8
Introduction and Objective
Every story has a plot. The plot consist of an exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and a resolution (or some call the denouement which means “end.”) How the author unfold the story plot is unique to each author. Understanding how a particular story unfolds is important in being able to comprehend the setting, theme, tone, mood and central ide(s) of the story.
Today 's lesson objective is:
• Students will be able to describe how the plot of a particular story unfolds.
A story is not labeled exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and a resolution. However, if we know what each part of the plot is, then we know can know if it is in the beginning of the story, the middle or the end. Breakdown what you have read so far in The Giver analyzing what happened in the beginning and middle so far. What parts of the story plot do you think are to come next? List some things that make a plot exciting to you.
Open your digital notebook and describe your strategy and the reading skills you will use to succeed in this lesson.

Plot is defined as, "the authors arrangement of incidents in a story it is the organizing principle that controls the controls the order of events (Meyer,64)." The element of plot is heavily relied on in the short story, "The Killings" by Andre Dubus. The plot which is completely made inside the imagination of an author (Meyer,64), gives the audience important insight to people, places, and events in the story (Meyer,64) . "The Killings" provides a somewhat conventional plot pattern, where the character is confronted with a problem and is then led into a climax, which late leads to the resolution of the story (Meyer,65). The conventional plot is easy to follow and serves as a basis for movies and other
In the opening lines of the story we are drawn into climax of the story. We are

Tell what you think is the climax of the book and why. The climax of the story is the part where fingers start to be pointed, and trials begin. I love the law field so to me, court hearings are interesting, you have the lying witnesses, the accused and the prosecution, it's all a big fight until someone dies, or rots in
This will go over the character, the time, and the setting in the book, helping to show and understand the theme because the author can convey plot points and themed information better through the components of the book themselves, rather than outright stating it in the book.
The result of these characteristics give each story suspense and mystery, leaving the readers wondering what each character will do next and what further action will take place. Characters hold a primary role in determining the outcome of a story, which is the reasoning behind the many similarities and differences among literary characters. Also, a clear example is the similar plots with two completely different outcomes. Once the audience understands a character, they are capable of building on their existing knowledge to foreshadow events or understand the text more logically, which is evident when reading these
Plot is very important to a story, novel, or even movies. It helps to make object of the story plain to the reader, and make it as enjoyable to the reader as the author wanted it to be. Plot starts out with an introduction of sorts then runs into the rising action, followed by the main point of the story, then the exposition. When that is over the falling action occurs and finally, the resolution of the story. Willa Cather expresses this very intently in his story “The Sentimentality of William Tavener.” He draws the reader in with a man that is strict with his son and wife who are worthy to participate in the circus in town. Willa tells of the wife trying to convince her husband to allow them to go. Then he surprises the
The beginning of the story or the exposition may be defined as the insight the author gives the audience concerning the location or time in which the story is set and the characters in the story. The information provided usually aids the audience in better understanding the behaviors and actions of the characters in the story. For example, in the fairy tale Bluebeard, the author begins by describing Bluebeard. Through this description, the audience notices that an element of mystery surrounds him.
Typically, the exposition provides background information and introduces the reader to what the story will be about. An example of this would be in the beginning of the story, “Two Kinds”, when Jing-Mei Woo says, “My mother believed you could be anything you wanted to be in America…my mother told me when I was nine” (Tan 132). In this quote Jing- Mei Woo informs the reader on how her mother would always tell her that America is the land of opportunity, and also gives the reader a key idea that follows her throughout much of her life. This idea helps to explain many of Jing- Mei’s actions. On the other hand, this story is placed towards the middle of the novel, meaning this story should begin to set up for the climax of the over all novel. For example, this story is about her Jing- Mei Woo’s
Once you begin a book, you’re thrown into a story. As you read you begin to see the true meaning of the book. You see the theme. Character development shows you how the character progressed throughout the story and changed to enhances the theme. Plot events show the character’s reaction to an event to enhance the theme. Setting puts the character in a place that they have to adapt to, which helps bring out the theme. Although each book has its very own unique theme, all authors use character development, plot events, and setting to express the theme.

Plot – these are the events or incidents that take place on the stage. The plot is clearly defined problems that the characters must solve. The plot is very different from the story line and is chronological detailing events that have happened on and off stage. Events that happen off stage are often introduced through a narrative dialogue. The playwrights often create a plot that is sincere and astounding.
I'll describe each of the eight elements in turn. If you already have an idea for a novel you're working on, open your file or get a pad of paper or your writer's notebook. As you read through the rest of this page, jot down ideas for how each element might work in your story. At the end, I'll show you how to use your choices to create a brief, well-rounded plot outline for your novel. If you don't have an idea for a novel yet, just grab one from your imagination. It doesn't have to be good. It's just an exercise after all.
