PLOT or STORYLINE

Plot is a literary term used to describe the events that make up a story or the main part of a story. These events relate to each other in a pattern or a sequence. The structure of a novel depends on the organization of events in the plot of the story.

http://literarydevices.net/plot/ In my own words: Sequence of events in a literary device. My example: In a futuristic Chicago, society is divided into 5

factions. Abnegation the selfless, Dauntless the brave, Erudite the intelligent, Candor the honest, and Amity the peaceful. When all teenagers reach the age of 16, they must choose to either stay in their faction of birth, or transfer into another faction. Beatrice Prior must make the decision to stay with her family in a faction she feels she isn't right for, or to transfer into another faction, and leave her family behind. What follows is a highly competitive initiation, where the newly renamed Tris must make some tough decisions, but she must also keep a secret that she was warned could mean death, while she juggles friends, initiation, and a newfound love interest. But there is a secret lying beneath everything that threatens to tear the city apart.

MY OWN PLOT1c

RISING ACTION

Rising action in a plot is a series of relevant incidents that create suspense, interest and tension in a narrative.

http://literarydevices.net/rising-action/ In my own words: Rising action is where the

scenes are getting in tense until it leads to the climax of the story.

My example: Beatrice Prior, finds out she is Divergent. After that she has to choose what faction she is going to choose. Tris’s choice is to be Dauntless.

TURNING POINT

The turning point in a work of literature is the moment or section when the action begins to move toward the climax http://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/american-english/turning-point

In my own words: The most important or exciting part.

My example: Tobias tells Tris that he found war plans against Abnegation and that war could break out any minute.

3

CLIMAX Climax is a structural part of a plot and is at times

referred to as a crisis. http://literarydevices.net/climax/

In my own words: It is the most intense part of the story. Characters are experiencing troubles and conflicts.

My example: Tris and Tobias need to fight the mind-controlled Dauntless soldiers in order to save the Abnegation. The Dauntless have no idea what they're doing and only the divergent (People who are immune to the simulations and could fit into more than one faction, including Tris and Tobias) are awake. Tris and Tobias get caught; they put Tobias under a special simulation for divergent rebels and they put Tris in a glass cube that they plan to drown her in because she got shot and is no use to them hurt.

FALLING ACTION

The part of a literary plot that occurs after the climax has been reached and the conflict has  been resolved.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/falling+action

In my own words: My example: They have figured out that, all

those times, everyone was being controlled by the computer at the Dauntless compound and set off to shut it down. Tris's father sacrificed himself so that they can get through the mind controlled Dauntless guards.

RESOLUTION

In my own words: My example: Tris was almost killed by Tobias

whom has no idea what he's doing. Tris helps Tobias beat the simulation and Tobias shut down the system so that the Dauntless aren’t under the simulation any more. Tris, Tobias, Caleb (her brother), and Tobias's father, escaped through a train to go to the Amnity compound.

I personalize my learning about the parts of literary

plot by completing this three-part activity.

New concepts learnedthis activity is very much relatable to a person’s life. There came a time that you started with nothing, bare you. There came a time that you struggle, there came a time that conflicts let you felt that you are already about to give. There came a time that you have felt a sudden relief and there came a time that you have already nothing to worry.

NEW INPUTS1

This reminds me of…Myself facing a certain problem, when I was young, I remembered myself before that particular circumstance in my life I was so happy. And then suddenly and little by little I began to experience difficulties and soon had become a real problem. I never thought that there would be an instrument in order for my problem to be solved. Fortunately, I had overcome that certain problem in my life.

CONNECTIONS2

Usefulness in real situationsWe will have a clue if we might have been experiencing our life’s “introduction” or first steps of our “rising action”. There is also a possibility that we will not be afraid to reach the “climax” of our lives because of the hope given by the “falling action” and sureness that we are going to reach our life’s “resolution”.
