Story Literary ElementsThe key basics that every good story must have .THE EXPOSITIONWhere the characters, setting, and conflict are introduced.

Every story needs charactersPeople

AnimalsOr Creatures

The protagonist is the good guyThe antagonist is the bad guy or force

Great stories have a conflict

Man vs. ManMan vs. NatureMan vs. SocietyMan vs. HimselfA hint about what will happen next is called foreshadowingFor example, if you hear this:Then you know someones about to get eaten!

The time and place of the story is the setting

USE VIVID LANGUAGEWhat do you feel?What do you see?What do you hear?What does it taste like?How does it smell?

RISING ACTIONWhere the characters take steps to help solve the problem in series of events.

The climax is the most exciting part!!

FALLING ACTIONThe major conflict in the story is starting to get resolved in a series of events (tying up loose ends in the story).

RESOLUTIONWhere the problem is solved. This is the outcome of the story.There should be a theme or lesson learned in your story. The character should learn a lesson or overcome an obstacle.Other items to remember

The point of view is the perspective of the story. First person works well (I, me, my, mine, we, us, ours)
