Today we talked about the elements of a plot. Click here to view a good powerpoint presentation about literary elements. You will need to know these terms from the powerpoint presentation:
characters
protagonist
antagonist
setting
conflict
man v. man
man v. nature
man v. society
man v. machine
man v. self
external conflict (man, nature, society and machine)
internal conflict (self)
foreshadowing
climax
point of view
You will also need to know how these elements fit together when mapping out a plot.
We started reading "The Landlady," by Roald Dahl. We will be looking for all of these literary elements as we read the story. We read the first page today. You will have a few minutes to catch up on what you missed during class tomorrow.
If you have any questions for me, I'm happy to answer.
