WQ (EXPLAIN) ELEMENTS OF STORY
1. Setting. It refers to the time and place in which the action of the story happens
2. Plot. Plot is what happens in the story. It includes the major events of the story,
including exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution.
a. Exposition/Initial Action. This is the very beginning of a story. In this
part, authors usually introduce the major characters and setting to the
reader.
In the illustration above, the author introduces the place Ayohdya as the
setting and presents the characters King Dasharata, Rama, and Sita.
b. Rising Action. This is the part when tension starts to build. It usually
involves facing and conquering minor conflicts, which is what keeps the
plot moving forward.
In the illustration above, the tension started when Ravana devised a
plan to abduct Sita.
c. Climax. This is the part of the story where the characters finally have to
face and solve the major conflict. This is the "peak" of the plot or the
highest point of interest where all the tensions of the rising action lead to
the success or failure of the hero.
In the illustration above, Rama solved the major conflict when he fought
and killed Ravana to save Sita.
d. Falling Action. This is everything that happens after the climax but
before the resolution. This is when the tension lessens and starts bringing
the action to a close.
In the illustration above, the tension started to lessen when Rama saved
Sita, returned to Ayodhya, and became the king.
e. Resolution/Denouement. This is the conclusion or ending of a story.
In the illustration above, the story ended when Rama ruled Ayodhya in
peace and harmony with his people.
3. Character. It refers to a person, an object, an animal, or imaginary creature
personified in the story. There are two types of characters: the protagonist and the
antagonist.
Protagonist. It is the main character who does heroic acts in the story.
Antagonist. It is also a main character who opposes the protagonist in
some way
4. Conflict. It refers to the problem that the main characters have to face. The conflict
of the story has four major types: man vs. man, man vs. self, man vs. society, and
man vs. supernatural.
Man vs. man. It is the conflict of the story in which the struggle is between
the protagonist and the antagonist.
Man vs. self. It is a conflict that takes place within the character himself. It
often involves the character in making a decision between right and wrong.
Man vs. society. It is a conflict that occurs when the character has a
conflict with the government, cultural, or societal tradition.
Man vs. supernatural. It is a conflict that happens when the protagonist
faces a struggle against a god, gods, and supernatural forces.
5. Point of View. This is the angle of narration or the perspective from which the
story is told. It can be classified as first person and third person. There are three
kinds of point of view: first person, second person, and third person.
First Person. The narrator is a character in the story who can reveal only
personal thoughts and feelings. It uses the personal pronoun I.
Second Person. The narrator describes the reader's actions, thoughts,
and background using "you."
Third person. This is when the narrator is removed from the story and tells
it from an outside perspective. To do this, the narrator uses personal
pronouns like "he," "she," and "they" to refer to the characters in the story.
6. Theme. It refers to the central idea or main point of a story.

Lord Krishna
The future Lord Krishna was born into dangerous circumstances. His
uncle, the evil King Kamsa, had been told that Krishna's mother would give birth
to a son who would destroy him. So, the king imprisoned his sister and killed her
children. But when Krishna was born, his father spirited him away to be raised
by another family.
Though young and gentle, Krishna had great wisdom bestowed upon him
by Lord Vishnu. In those days, Krishna lived in Vrindavan, a holy town in Uttar
Pradesh, northern India. Each year, the people there made offerings to Indra, the
fierce ruler of clouds and rain, hoping to soothe Indra’s temper. Krishna clearly
recognized that Indra was neither generous nor sincere; he was selfish, haughty,
and unworthy of respect.
Krishna thought of teaching Indra a lesson so he told the people. “Indra is
a bully we need not serve. Instead, it makes more sense to worship Govardhan,
our mountain that supports us. Let us honor kind Govardhan, who unselfishly
shares her lush forests and urges the clouds to shower us.” The people agreed
with Krishna’s idea.
After Indra had known this, he flew into a mighty rage. “These farmers
ignore me to worship a mountain on the advice of a child? What an insult! I shall
severely punish them!” he thundered. Indra ordered the clouds to send furious
winds and driving rains to Vrindavan. The storm terrified the people who fearfully
sought help from young Krishna.
With supreme calmness, grace, and power, Krishna lifted Govardhan into
the air using only the little finger of his left hand. He steadfastly held the mountain
like an umbrella, protecting Vrindavan for seven stormy days and nights.
With this, Indra acknowledged his error. He ceased the storm and deeply
apologized to Krishna. Thus, this made humans learn not to give in to disaster
and become resilient.
