What key s should be addressed in the presentation

For the presentation to be effective , key s like definition and importance of the elements of the story should be addressed . The whole point of the presentation is to make the audience know and understand how these elements give life to a story . Therefore , these things should be given due emphasis on the presentation , itself

In what ways can the setting tell a story by itself

Setting , defined as the time and location in which a

story takes place can very much affect the story , itself . Setting can set the mood of the readers and can take them to the actual place and time of the story . The type of atmosphere a writer sets at the beginning of the story influences much the feelings of the readers . Even the narration of the social and weather conditions insinuates what is happening at a certain point or part of the story

What do you feel is the best element of a story

I think the best element of the story is its theme . Although I believe that the key elements of the story are all very important , the theme acts as the stimulus that makes the rest of the elements move . Since theme is the controlling idea or central insight of a story , it plays a very significant role in the delivery of the story , as a whole . Without it , the whole point of the story is gone . A storywriter writes a story mainly because he wants to convey a message to his readers . And this message is clearly manifested through a story 's theme

Which elements do you feel are the most important to make the story whole

Among the many elements of the story , its five key elements , namely character , setting , plot , conflict , and theme , make the story whole Characters give life to a story since they are the doers in it . Setting takes the readers to the actual time and place of the story . Plot sequences the events in a manner that readers could fully understand it Conflict adds spice to it and gives a feeling of excitement to the readers . And theme directs the readers to what the story is all about . AUTHOR Outline of Discussion Points 2
