1. Plot
The organized pattern or sequence of events that make up a story. Every plot is made up of a series of incidents that are related to one another.

A. Hook + Exposition
Hook: initial way author draws reader into story—action, dialogue, reflection.
Exposition: this usually occurs at the beginning of a story. Here the characters are introduced. We also learn about the setting of the story.

B. Conflict
The basis of the rest of the story. It could be character versus character, society, nature, and/or self.

compared to the grass. – Jerry sobbed in relief as the would-be murderer
was dragged away by the police.
