PLOT or STORYLINE

“The main events of a play, novel, movie, or similar work, devised and presented by the writer as an interrelated sequence.”

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/plot In my own words: Plot is a series of event in a story

or novel. My example:

 The story begins when Lizzie’s sister, Jane, falls in love with Darcy’s friend named Mr. Bingley. Lizzie develops and interest in for Mr. Wickham, who accuses Darcy of destroying him financially. When Lizzie goes to meet her friend, she runs into Mr. Darcy, who proposes and Lizzie rejects. She then writes him a letter telling him why she dislikes him. He writes back, clearing up all misunderstandings and accusations. Jane runs away with Mr. Wickham and Lizzie realizes that Mr. Darcy is not as bad a man as she thought him to be.

There was a couple. A high school sweethearts and their relationship has grown until they are both stable in life.

Until one day, the guy asked the girl’s hand in marriage. But the girl was somewhat has a hesitation because she has a heart failure which result that she can’t bare a child and she is afraid that if the guy will know her condition, the guy might leave her.

Then the guy noticed the hesitations on the girls face. And he said that it’s okay if she’s not ready. And then the girl decided to tell everything about her disease to her boyfriend.

The guy hug her tight and said that he will never leave her and he wants to marry her because he love her and that’s all that matters.

And then they get married!

RISING ACTION

“A related series of incidents in a literary plot that build toward the point of greatest interest.”

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/rising+action

The development of conflicts. My example:

One day the guy ask his girlfriend’s hand in marriage. The girl was happy but at the same time she’s scared because she is suffering heart disease and she cannot bare a child. And that what is she’s scared about. That if the guy will know that she can’t bare a child, he might leave her.

TURNING POINT

“The point at which a very significant change  occurs; a decisive moment.” http://

www.thefreedictionary.com/turning+point The point of greater suspense, when the

outcome of the conflict becomes clear. My example:

The guy noticed the hesitations on her girlfriend’s face, so he hugged her and said that it’s okay if the she’s not yet ready for marriage. He kiss her forehead. Then the girl cried.

3

CLIMAX “The point of greatest intensity or force in an 

ascending series or progression; a culmination.”

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/climax In my own words: The most intense point in

the development of conflict. My example:

She took a deep breath and said to herself that “He has the right to know.” Then the girl decided to tell everything to the guy. All about her disease and condition and about her not being able to bare a child because it will be the reason of her death. And that what’s scare her.

FALLING ACTION

“The part of a literary plot that occurs after the climax has been reached and the conflict has been resolved.”

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/falling+action

In my own words: The part when the conflict has been resolved.

My example: The guy hugged her girlfriend even tighter and

told to her that everything will be alright. And he wants to marry her because he love her and that is all going to matter for him as they live.

5

RESOLUTION

“The act of finding an answer or solution to a conflict or problem.”

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/resolution

In my own words: When the story is in the part of finding a solution to the conflict.

My example: And then they get married. They enjoyed all

their time together and love each other more and more for the rest of their lives.

And who knows maybe the girl got pregnant too….

PLOT ELEMENTS: Brain PracticeGandia, Lae Anne T.BSMT-2CJuly 13, 2015Mr. Jaime CabreraCEU Manila, Philippines

I personalize my learning about the parts of literary

plot by completing this three-part activity.

Related Stuff

New concepts learned What new stuff did you learn when you did

this assignment? I learned the elements of plot and all under

it. I learned the differences between rising

action and turning point. I also learned a deeper explanation of the

plots.

NEW INPUTS1

This reminds me of… Connect the new stuff you learned to

events in your own life. This work reminds me of all the problems

that I have encountered in my life. It reminds me of how I manage to endure all the bad times that had came to me.

CONNECTIONS2

Usefulness in real situations How can you use what you have learned

in some situations in your own life? Like the plot elements I know that when I

got a problem I know that it will eventually lead to my resolution meaning there will be a point in time that those problems of mine will be solved and I can surpass all of it with the help of All Mighty God.
