Plot and Setting
Plot
The
plot
of a story is made up of a
sequence
of
events
—it is what happens in a story. The events happen in a specific
order
. All stories have a
beginning
, a
middle
, and an
end
.
Story plots have
conflicts
and
resolutions
.
Setting
The
setting
of a story is the
time
and
place
in which the events happen.
The
setting
affects the
plot
of a story.
When reading, ask yourself —
How does the time and place of the story affect how a character behaves or reacts to certain events?
Would things happen differently in another time and place?
