A plot is more than ‘just’ a summary of the story. You must relate the plot to other elements in the story.
This resolution often involves a reversion of intention whereby the protagonist’s intended outcome is reversed for better or worse; and this reversal often depends on recognition or a discovery which radically changes the protagonist’s understanding of his or her circumstances.
A plot line
- Exposition (the setting and characters are introduced)
- Rising action (where the conflict is introduced – developed and ultimately brought to a climax)
- Climax (the point when the conflict is brought to a crisis stage)
- Denouement or resolution: the conflict is resolved in some manner.
The story may develop from start to finish in a chronological order. Or there may be flashbacks, where the readers are given details about something that happened earlier in the story. There may also be foreshadowing in the story, meaning that the readers are given hints about what might happen later in the story.
