The Elements of Fiction: The Elements of Fiction: A General Introduction Ms. Amanda Lee 7 th Grade Language Arts Cedar Ridge Middle School

Characters A textual representation of a human being (or creature)

Protagonist- the main character Antagonist- the person opposing the main character

Plot The series of events that give a story its meaning and effect It's the story about a lazy, irreverent slacker panda, named Po, who is the biggest fan of Kung Fu around...which doesn't exactly come in handy while working every day in his family's noodle shop. Unexpectedly chosen to fulfill an ancient prophecy, Po's dreams become reality when he joins the world of Kung Fu and studies alongside his idols, the legendary Furious Five -- Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey -- under the leadership of their guru, Master Shifu. But before they know it, the vengeful and treacherous snow leopard Tai Lung is headed their way, and it's up to Po to defend everyone from the oncoming threat. Can he turn his dreams of becoming a Kung Fu master into reality? Po puts his heart - and his girth - into the task, and the unlikely hero ultimately finds that his greatest weaknesses turn out to be his greatest strengths.

Conflict Opposition between forces in a story

Mood Created atmosphere by an author It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents, except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.

Setting A story’s time and place Jacob Have I Loved was set on Rass Island in the 1940s.

Theme The meaning or concept we are left with after reading a story. The main idea. How can you figure out a story’s theme? Ask yourself, “What is the author suggesting is true about human nature and/or life?”

Fact- something that can be verified and backed up with evidence Opinion- based on a belief or view; not backed up with evidence Hannah Montana is the greatest artist of all time Miley Cyrus is Hannah Montana

Flashback The action flashes from the present to the past.

Genre A way to categorize literature.

ALL DONE Yaaaay!
