Methods of Characterization
-Author uses characterization to introduce or reveal a character to the readers
 Direct Characterization is also known as explicit characterization. This method
of characterization means that the author is directly describing the character to the
reader.
 Indirect Characterization is a method by which the writer shows the character's
personality through speech, actions and appearance
 Plot refers to the series or sequence

b) Conflict -struggle between opposing forces that drives the action of the story.
c) Rising Action-The portion of the story where the conflict increases.
d) Climax- The peak of action and conflict.
e) Falling Action- The portion of the story where the conflict decreases.
f) Resolution-The outcome of the conflict, the final unravelling of a plot, the living
solution of a mystery.
g) Denouement - This is the final outcome or untangling of events in the story.
Kinds of Plot:
1. Linear Plot- a linear plot begins at a certain point, moves through a series of
events to a climax and then ends up at another point.
2. Modular Plot - Nonlinear narrative, disjointed narrative or disrupted narrative
-does not follow a linear narrative. That is, it doesn’t move in a
chronological
order
3. Episodic Plot -Made up of a series of chapters
 Conflict- essential to plot.

There are two types of Conflict:
1) External - A struggle with a force outside one's self.
2) Internal - A struggle within one's self; a person must make some decision,
overcome pain, quiet their temper, resist an urge, etc.
 Point of View
Point of view is the perspective from which the story or work is told.
Types of Point of View:
1. Third Person P.O.V – The narrator does not participate in the action of the story
as one of the characters but let us know exactly what the characters feel. (uses third
personal pronoun he, she, it, they)
2. First Person - The story is told by the protagonist or one of the characters who
interacts closely with the protagonist or other characters (using pronouns I, me, we,
etc). The reader sees the story through this person's eyes as he/she experiences it and
only knows what he/she knows or feels.
3. Omniscient- A narrator who knows everything about the characters is all knowing
or omniscient.
a) Omniscient Limited - The author tells the story in third person (using pronouns
they, she, he, it, etc). We know only what the character knows and what the author
allows him/her to tell us. We can see the thoughts and feelings of characters if the
author chooses to reveal them to us.
b) Omniscient Objective – The author tells the story in the third person. It appears a
camera is following the characters, going anywhere, and recording only what is seen
and heard. No interpretations are offered. The reader is placed in the position of
spectator without the author there to explain. The reader must interpret events on his
own.
 Theme
- is the author's underlying meaning or main idea that he is trying to convey.
 • the feelings of the main character about the subject written about
 • through the thoughts and conversations of different characters
 the experiences of the main character in the course of a literary work
 • the actions and events taking place in a narrative
A poem’s subject is the topic of the poem, or what the poem is about
• The theme is an idea that the poem expresses about the subject or uses the
subject to explore.
Motifs are often connected to the theme of the poem, as is the case with
“nevermore.” This connection is so close that many people use the words
“theme” and “motif” interchangeably.
When you speak, your tone of voice suggests your attitude.

Tone can also mean the general emotional weather of the poem.
