Narrative Elements Study Guide

We will have a test on the Narrative Elements (Plot, Conflict, and Setting) on Tuesday 10/7/14. 

The study guide for the test is listed below. All of this information should already be in your notes, this is just another resource. 

Setting: time and place of a story Point of View: angle from which the story is told Plot: sequence of events in a story Resolution: reveals how everything turns out; sometimes ends with a surprise twist              Falling Action: shows how the main character resolves the conflict; eases the tension Climax: the most exciting part and a turning point; makes the result of the conflict clear Rising Action: shows how the conflict becomes more difficult; builds suspense the problem in the story Exposition: introduces the characters and setting; hints at the conflict Internal Conflict: a struggle that goes on inside a character External Conflict:a struggle between a character and another person, group of people, or nature Man vs. Society: a character has a conflict with the laws or beliefs of larger group (a community, government, etc.) Man vs. Man: a character has a conflict with another character Man vs. Himself: a character experiences an inner conflict (difficult decision, guilt, worry, etc.) Man vs. Nature: a character has a conflict with a force of nature

Additionally, be sure you can identify what type of conflict is present from a description and plot points from an example text.
