PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Fiction: A piece of writing that the author imagines that isn’t real, but could be based on something real.
Short Story: A quick, single-idea piece of writing that’s meant to be read in one “sitting”.
Novel: Much longer and more complicated than a short story, and it sometimes has multiple perspectives. It’s still a piece of fiction.
Characters: People and/or animals that play roles in a piece of literature.
Character types: Round, which change throughout the story and we learn about them in the piece. Then we have flat, which stay the same, and we don’t learn about them.
Character development: How the author developers a character, which in includes their physical description, what they do, what they say and/or think and what other people say or think about them.
Setting: Where and when the story takes place, and the “mood” that it gives. Sometimes, the time and place make the mood.
Plot: The events, their order, and their importance in the story.
Foreshadowing: A sign that hints something that will occur later on.
Symbol: An object of shape that represents something, that something usually is what the reader needs to figure out.
Theme: What the story is about and its lesson. The reader has to figure out the theme through analyzing the story.
