Plot
The plot includes all the main events that follow each other in the story and cause other events to happen.
![Page 5: AHSGE III-2 Analyze Literary Elements. Teachers and Students: You may want to take notes while viewing this lesson.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e955503460f94b992e6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
A basic plot has the following parts.
Exposition: The beginning of the story where the characters and setting are introduced, and the conflict or struggle is presented.
Rising Action: The series of events that show how the main character faces and attempts to overcome the conflict.
![Page 6: AHSGE III-2 Analyze Literary Elements. Teachers and Students: You may want to take notes while viewing this lesson.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e955503460f94b992e6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Climax: The turning point, and usually most exciting part of the story, where the main character may make a crucial decision or take important action.
Falling Action: The events that follow the climax and explain how the main character will deal with what he/she has experienced so far.
![Page 7: AHSGE III-2 Analyze Literary Elements. Teachers and Students: You may want to take notes while viewing this lesson.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e955503460f94b992e6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

![Page 8: AHSGE III-2 Analyze Literary Elements. Teachers and Students: You may want to take notes while viewing this lesson.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e955503460f94b992e6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
CharactersCharacters are the
people, animals, and sometimes, things in a story.
![Page 9: AHSGE III-2 Analyze Literary Elements. Teachers and Students: You may want to take notes while viewing this lesson.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e955503460f94b992e6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Two Types of CharactersA flat character is a one-dimensional character that acts in predictable ways. Usually these characters are either all bad or all good. These characters usually do not change as the story progresses. They usually remain either all good or all bad.
![Page 10: AHSGE III-2 Analyze Literary Elements. Teachers and Students: You may want to take notes while viewing this lesson.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e955503460f94b992e6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
A round character is a more developed character. A round character’s actions are not always predictable. A round character is important to the progression of the story, and a round character usually undergoes a major change because of what happens to him/her in the story.
![Page 11: AHSGE III-2 Analyze Literary Elements. Teachers and Students: You may want to take notes while viewing this lesson.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e955503460f94b992e6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
SettingThis is the time and place a story
happens.
Authors may tell you the setting directly in the story, or you may have to determine the setting by noting details of the story. Example: historical events mentioned in the story, hair styles, styles of clothing, technology, songs mentioned, or even the language used by characters.
![Page 12: AHSGE III-2 Analyze Literary Elements. Teachers and Students: You may want to take notes while viewing this lesson.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e955503460f94b992e6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Theme
The theme of the story is an insight
about people or life that author wants to communicate to
readers.
![Page 13: AHSGE III-2 Analyze Literary Elements. Teachers and Students: You may want to take notes while viewing this lesson.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e955503460f94b992e6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How to determine the theme of a story.
Keep your eyes on the main character(s).
How does the main character(s) deal with conflict?
What lessons did the main character(s) learn?
How does the main character(s) change throughout the conflict?
![Page 14: AHSGE III-2 Analyze Literary Elements. Teachers and Students: You may want to take notes while viewing this lesson.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e955503460f94b992e6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Tone and MoodTone is the author’s attitude
toward a subject. The author’s tone may be interested, serious, humorous, dark sarcastic, sympathetic, dramatic, angry, tender, and so on.
Mood is the “atmosphere” surrounding a story. It is the emotion you are meant to feel as you read. A story may have a mood of anxiety, fear, joy, sadness, or any other emotion.
![Page 15: AHSGE III-2 Analyze Literary Elements. Teachers and Students: You may want to take notes while viewing this lesson.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e955503460f94b992e6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
How To Determine ToneTo determine tone pay
attention to specific words and details an author uses
to describe settings, characters, and events. Think about how they
would sound if the author were reading to you.
![Page 16: AHSGE III-2 Analyze Literary Elements. Teachers and Students: You may want to take notes while viewing this lesson.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e955503460f94b992e6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
How To Determine Mood
To determine mood, ask, “How are
these words and details making me
feel?”
![Page 17: AHSGE III-2 Analyze Literary Elements. Teachers and Students: You may want to take notes while viewing this lesson.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e955503460f94b992e6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Literary Point of View
Literary point of view is the
perspective from which a story is
narrated, or told.
![Page 18: AHSGE III-2 Analyze Literary Elements. Teachers and Students: You may want to take notes while viewing this lesson.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e955503460f94b992e6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
First PersonThe narrator is a character within the story and speaks from the personal point of view, using first-person pronouns such as I, we, and our.
When a story is told from this point of view, you only learn what the character/narrator thinks and experiences.
![Page 19: AHSGE III-2 Analyze Literary Elements. Teachers and Students: You may want to take notes while viewing this lesson.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e955503460f94b992e6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Second Person
The narrator speaks directly to you, the reader, making you a part of the story.
This point of view is rarely used in fiction.
![Page 20: AHSGE III-2 Analyze Literary Elements. Teachers and Students: You may want to take notes while viewing this lesson.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e955503460f94b992e6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Third-Person Limited
The narrator is not a character in the
story, but his or her knowledge is usually
limited to the thoughts and
experiences of one or two characters.
![Page 21: AHSGE III-2 Analyze Literary Elements. Teachers and Students: You may want to take notes while viewing this lesson.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e955503460f94b992e6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Third-Person Omniscient
The narrator is not a character in the story.
You learn the thoughts and
experiences from all the characters when a story is told from this point of view.
![Page 22: AHSGE III-2 Analyze Literary Elements. Teachers and Students: You may want to take notes while viewing this lesson.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e955503460f94b992e6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
PracticeThe Eagle, the Pig, and the Cat
There stood in the middle of a field a mighty
oak that was home to three animals.At the top lived an eagle. The eagle’s wings
were tinged with gray, his eyesight was no longer
keen, and his strong reliable wings had grown
fatigued. Tiring easily, the eagle left the nest
only to find food.
![Page 23: AHSGE III-2 Analyze Literary Elements. Teachers and Students: You may want to take notes while viewing this lesson.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e955503460f94b992e6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
At the base of the tree lived a pig.
She and the eagle had an understanding, and she felt safe under
his watchful eye, even if those eyes did
not see as much as they used to.
![Page 24: AHSGE III-2 Analyze Literary Elements. Teachers and Students: You may want to take notes while viewing this lesson.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e955503460f94b992e6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The newcomer was the cat, who
lived in the middle of the tree, where
she’d found a sizable hole for her and
her kittens. The cat should have been
satisfied with such an airy, spacious,
home, but she wasn’t.
![Page 25: AHSGE III-2 Analyze Literary Elements. Teachers and Students: You may want to take notes while viewing this lesson.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e955503460f94b992e6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The cat began to think that only she
should live in the tree so, one morning,
she hatched a plan. Climbing to the
top of the tree, she said to the eagle,
“I’ve discovered something disturbing.
The pig living at the base of the tree
is digging up the roots to knock our
home over. Beware!”
![Page 26: AHSGE III-2 Analyze Literary Elements. Teachers and Students: You may want to take notes while viewing this lesson.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e955503460f94b992e6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The self-satisfied cat then went
down to the pig’s home and said,
“I’ve discovered something disturbing. The eagle living at the
top of the tree is planning to
pounce on us so that he can have
the tree to himself. Beware!”
![Page 27: AHSGE III-2 Analyze Literary Elements. Teachers and Students: You may want to take notes while viewing this lesson.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e955503460f94b992e6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Having alarmed the eagle and
the pig, the cat then climbed
back up to her hole and waited
for them to leave. That afternoon while the cat napped,
the eagle flew down toconfront the pig.
![Page 28: AHSGE III-2 Analyze Literary Elements. Teachers and Students: You may want to take notes while viewing this lesson.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e955503460f94b992e6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
“Why do you want to get rid of me?” the
eagle asked.“I don’t,” the pig responded.It didn’t take long for the eagle and
pig to figure out the cat’s malicious plan.
The next day, the pig pretended to dig up
the roots of the tree. Meanwhile the eagle
soared ominously close to the kittens as
they played in the grass.
![Page 29: AHSGE III-2 Analyze Literary Elements. Teachers and Students: You may want to take notes while viewing this lesson.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e955503460f94b992e6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Frightened, the cat gathered
her kittens and quickly moved
away. As soon as the cat had
left, the eagle returned to his
nest and the pig curled up at
the base of the tree.
