Every story, or narrative, has five essential elements. The five essential elements are plot, characters, conflict, setting, and theme. Plot is what happens in the story. There are five key points to the plot of every story: 1. Beginning or Exposition-this is when characters and problems are introduced to the reader. 2. Rising Action-this is where the problem and characters are developed through a series of actions that builds to the . . . 3. Climax-this is where the problem is resolved in one way or another. 4. Falling Action or Denoument-this is where the reader learns what happens as a result of the climax-or the way in which the problem was solved. 5. Resolution-where the entire plot is wrapped up and there is a sense of closure for the reader. Narratives have characters, a protagonist, and one or more antagonists, characters who are in conflict with the protagonist. Narratives have a time and place where the action is set. Narratives have a theme, or main idea/underlying meaning.
