Setting-Time and location that a story takes place.For some stories,the setting is very important;while forothers,it is not.When examining how setting contributes to a story,there are multiple aspects to consider:  \n1)Place-Geographical location;where is the action of the story taking place?  \n2)Time-Historical period,time of day,year,etc;when is the story taking place?  \n3)Weather conditions -Is it rainy,sunny,stormy,etc?  \n4)Social conditions -What is the daily life of the character's like?Does the story contain local colour(writingthat focuses on the speech,dress,mannerisms,customs,etc.of a particular place)?  \n5)Mood or atmosphere-What feeling is created at the beginning of the story?Cheerful or eerie?  \nII.  Character-There are two meanings for “character”:1)a person in a fictional story;or 2)qualities of a person.  \n## 1)People in a work of fiction can be a(n):\n\n·Protagonist-Clear center of story;all major events are important to this character.  \n·Antagonist-Opposition or “enemy”of main character.  \n## 2)Characteristics of a character can be revealed through:\n\n·his/her physical appearance  \n·what he/she says,thinks,feels,dreams and what he/she does or does not do  \n·what others say about him/her and how others react to him/her  \n|  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n\n## 3)Characters can be..\n\n● Round-Fully developed personalities that are affected by the story's events;they can learn,grow,or deteriorate by the end of the story.Characters are most convincing when they resemble realpeople by being consistent,motivated,and life-like.  \n0  \n·Flat-One-dimensional character  \n·Dynamic-Character who does go through change and“grows”during a story  \n·Static-Character does not go through a change.  \n## IV.  Point of View-The angle from which the story is told.There are several variations of POV:\n\n1)First Person-Story told by the protagonist or a character who interacts closely with the protagonist or othercharacters;speaker uses the pronouns\"T”,\"me”,“we”.Readers experiences the story through this person'seyes and only kn","cbCaie7Imot8TOmI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaie7Imot8TOmI","pdf",11076592,18,"English","# Five Elements of Fiction\n## Plot\n## Setting\n## Character\n## Point of View\n## Theme\n# Short Stories:Characteristics","[{\"question\":\"What are the five essential parts of plot?\",\"answer\":\"They are exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution (conclusion).
