components, students are better able to analyze and
appreciate the author’s work. There are Six major
elements that makes a fiction, these are character, plot,
point of view, setting, style, and theme.
1. Character -- A figure in a literary work (personality,

gender, age, etc). A character is a person, animal, being,
creature, or thing in a story. Writers use characters to
perform the actions and speak dialogue, moving the story
along a plot line. A story can have only one character
(protagonist) and still be a complete story. This character’s
conflict may be an inner one (within him/herself), or a
conflict with something natural, such as climbing a
mountain. Most stories have multiple characters
interacting, with one of them as the antagonist, causing a
conflict for the protagonist.
2. Plot –- the major events that move the action in a

narrative. It is the sequence of major events in a story,
usually in a cause-effect relation. Plot specifically contains
Exposition, Rising action, climax, falling action,
denouement. Generally, a story problem and solution.
Here is an example:
Scott wants to be on the football team, but he’s worried

he won’t make the team. He spends weeks working out as
hard as possible, preparing for try outs. At try outs, he
amazes coaches with his skill as a quarterback. They ask
him to be their starting quarterback that year and give him
a jersey. Scott leaves the field, ecstatic!
The story introduces Scott and his conflict/problem: he

wants to be on the team, but he doubts his ability to make
it. The solution consists of his training and try outs that
amazed the coach and asked him as a starting quarterback.
3. Point of View -- the vantage point from which a

narrative is told. A narrative is typically told from a first-
person or third-person point of view. In a narrative told
from a first-person perspective, the author tells the story
through a character who refers to himself or herself as "I."
Third –person narratives come in two types: omniscient
and limited. An author taking an omniscient point of view
assumes the vantage point of an all-knowing narrator able
not only to recount the action thoroughly and reliably but
also to enter the mind of any character in the work or any
time in order to reveal his or her thoughts, feelings, and
beliefs directly to the reader. An author using the limited
point of view recounts the story through the eyes of a
