C. Lesson Proper

Elements of Fiction
A. Characters are beings who live in the story. They can be
actual people from this planet to aliens from somewhere in
the outer space. They are important in fiction because they
are the ones with whom the readers empathize. Characters
can be flat or round.
A flat character is not sufficiently developed, described
very little, and plays very minor role in the narrative. A
round character, on the other hand, has a leading role in the
narrative.
Characters can also be static or dynamic (also called
developing). A static character remains the same throughout
the narrative while dynamic one undergoes change.

B. Setting answers the question “where” and “when” about

the narrative. Answers to these questions give rise to the two
types of setting: the physical and chronological setting.
Physical setting refers to where the story takes place. The
chronological setting can also be general or specific, as
during the “Christmas season”, or “during the early morning
of December 16 in 2019”.

C. Plot is the order of events in the story. Writers usually

follow a particular plot structure, called “Freytag’s Pyramid”,
although this is not always the case, as some may opt to start
from the middle part or ending part and go backwards to
where the events began.

Freytag’s Pyramid
a) Exposition introduces the characters, time, and the
problem.
b) Rising action includes the happenings that the main
character encounters.
I NNOVATI VE COLLEGE OF SCI ENCE & TECHNOLOGY
Malitbog, Bongabong, Oriental Mindoro

c) Climax refers to the turning point in the story

d) Falling action are the events that unfold after the
climax
e) Denouement or resolution provides closure and
ties up loose ends in the story.

D. Conflict is the struggle between opposing forces or

entities.
Two types of conflict:
1. External Conflict could be a man against nature
or man against man.
2. Internal Conflict could be man against society or
culture, or man against himself or herself.

E. Point of View answers the questions “Who is telling the

story”, and “How is the story told”.
Three different types of point of view
a) First person point of view means that the story is
told from the viewpoint of one of the characters who
may be the protagonist or main character in the
narrative.
b) The second person point of view which is
seldom used, speaks to the reader as if the reader is
the protagonist.
c) The third person point of view is classified into
third person limited and third person omniscient.

F. Theme is the underlying truth conveyed by the author

through story. It is different from the moral or lesson of a
narrative.

Elements of Poetry
A. Rhyme is the easiest feature to identify in a poem. If the
last word in the first line of poetry rhymes with the last
word in the second line, or the third line, you can easily
identify a pattern. Rhyme does not depend upon spelling; it
is a matter of sound, or pronunciation.
B. Rhyme Scheme. When you can identify a repeating
pattern of similar-sounding words at the ends of the lines,
then you have a rhyme scheme.
C. Rhythm or meter is a slightly more difficult aspect of
poetry for some students. There is a natural rise and fall in
our language: we stress certain syllables and words more
than others in order to emphasize meaning. In poetry, these
patterns of stressed and unstressed syllables or words form
a rhythm or meter.

 Poetry, even more so than the others genres of

literature, employs figurative language to the best
effect.

Elements of Drama
Drama is pretty much similar in certain narrative
aspects to fiction, like the presence of characters, plot,
setting, conflict, and, the theme. Since drama is intended
for performance, it has particular elements, though, which
are distinct from other genres. This includes presentation
elements like venue, costumes, set design, lighting design,
and music.

D. Practice Exercise
Group Activity
I will group you into three groups and I will give each
group a literary excerpt from a novel. Each group will
identify the literary genre and the theme of the given
excerpt.

Group 1
Excerpt from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen The excerpt from Pride and Prejudice
“In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will primarily focuses on the theme

almost say, of my acquaintance with you, your manners The literary genre is Fiction.
impressing me with the fullest belief of your arrogance,
your conceit, and your selfish disdain of the feelings of
others, were such as to form that ground-work of
disapprobation, on which succeeding events have built so
immovable a dislike; and I had not known you a month
before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom
I could ever be prevailed on to marry.

Group 2
Excerpt from Romeo and Juliet
Juliet:
[15] O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? The central theme in Romeo and

ROMEO: families.
[Aside] Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?
JULIET: The literary genre is Drama
’Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What’s Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man.
O! be some other name:
What’s in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call’d,

Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name;

And for that name, which is no part of thee,
Take all myself.

Group 3
Excerpt from Beowulf
Then Wulfgar went to the door and addressed The central theme in Beowulf’s
The waiting seafarers with soldier’s words: excerpt is heroism. Beowulf presents
“My lord, the great king of the Danes, commands me himself as a courageous and noble

And that having come to him from over the open loyalty, and willingness to fight for
Sea you have come bravely and are welcome. the greater good,
Now go to him as you are, in your armor and helmets,
But leave your battle shields here, and your spears, The literary genre is Poetry.
Let them lie waiting for the promises your words
May make.”
Beowulf arose, with his men
Around him, ordering a few to remain
With their weapons, leading the others quickly
Along under Herot’s steep roof into Hrotgar’s
Presence. Standing on that prince’s own hearth,
Helmeted, the silvery metal of his mail shirt
Gleaming with a smith’s high art, he greeted
The Danes’ great lord:

E. Generalization
Based on our discussion, what makes a work Fiction? A work is fiction, drama, and poetry
Or Drama? Or Poetry? because of its elements.

Very Good!

What delineates one genre from the other? Fiction narrates a story, Drama
presents action through dialogue, and
Poetry focuses on figurative language
and imagery.
Excellent!
F. Application
I have a situation from the novel “The Great Gatsby”.

In "The Great Gatsby," Gatsby is pretending to be a

wealthy, sophisticated man with a prestigious past,
including being an Oxford graduate, when in reality he
is a poor young man named James Gatz who
accumulated his wealth through questionable means,
all in an attempt to win back the love of Daisy
Buchanan, a woman from his past who belongs to a
higher social class.

Was Gatsby’s pretending to be wealthy and No, Mam!

sophisticated right to win back his loved one?

As a student, what are you pretending to be? Students’ answer may vary.

G. Valuing
When we don’t have courage to do something, we
pretend to be someone and expresses ourself through
fictional characters, poetry, or writing a drama.
As a reader, it is important to appreciate the author’s
work because all the elements written in it is their hard
work, passion, and dedication to produce an exquisite
novel.

IV. Evaluation
Direction: Read the following selection then identify
the narrative elements present in the text. Write your
answers in your notebook.

Aries - The Ram

Athamas, the legendary king of Thessaly, had two
children, Phrixus and Helle. He had remarried Ino, the
children’s stepmother, began to treat them very badly.
They were treated so cruelly that Hermes took pity on
them and sent a magical ram to take them away and
escape their stepmother’s wrath.
Mounted on the ram’s back, the children flew over
land and sea to the east. Unfortunately, Helle failed to
get a good hold on the fleece of the ram and as they
flew over the strait that separates Europe and Asia, she
fell off and was drowned in the sea far below. That sea
is called Hellospont to this day in honor of her
memory.
Phrixus landed safely at Colches, which is on the
edge of the Black Sea. In gratitude for his safe
deliverance, Phrixus sacrificed the ram and gave its
Golden Fleece to the king of that country.
In honor of the ram’s great sacrifice in saving the
children, Zeus placed the ram’s constellation, Aries, in
the night sky. (adapted from “Constellation Legends”)
