A story is a made-up passage that shows events that happen to a character or characters. Usually, a story only shows a part of a character’s life. A story has different parts and elements that make up its story structure.
These are the structural elements or parts of a story:
Structure:
A beginning, middle, and an end
A problem or a conflict that the character has to solve
A climax or a turning point in which the problem is most intense
Sentences and paragraphs instead of stanzas
Elements:
Characters that speak through dialogue or who
are described by the narrator
The time and place in which the events happen (setting)
The main idea and the message of the story (theme)
