2. Elements of Story Plot Plot is the action, the quest for satisfaction, What's going down, what's going to happen. Setting Setting gives us the where and the when, Could be modern day, the future, or way back when. Character Knock knock, who's there? Oh, it's the characters, The people in the story who carry out the action. Conflict Flick something in your eye, now you're conflicted, What created drama? The conflict did. Theme The theme of the story is the main idea, The central belief or the topic that’s in there.

3. Interaction of Elements Story elements interact with one another to shape the story. If one were changed, it would affect all the others. Because the story is in war-torn Iran (SETTING), then Marji has strong views about politics (CHARACTER). Because Sundiata was strong and determined (CHARACTER), he overcame his disability and walked (PLOT). Because Tom Vincent nearly died alone in the wild (PLOT), we learn that you should never travel alone (THEME).
