Let’s Study This.

A good story is a work of art. Like a beautiful painting, it springs from an imagination. It
can be sparked by a memory, an experience, or even a dream.
Wherever people have lived there is a story to be told.
-Henry David Thoreau, writer-

Stories are account of imaginary or real people and events told for entertainment.

Elements of the story includes:

1. Character - each person, animal, or imaginary creature that appears in a story.

In the story of “ Eleven “, Rachel is the main character and the teacher and students are
minor character.

Another character from the story is the Hero, it is the chief male or female character in a
book, play, or movie, who is typically identified with good qualities, and with whom the
reader is expected to sympathize.

Villain on the other hand, is also another character from the story.
This often refer to as the evil from the story,

In the story of Rachel, Sylvia Saldivar is the villain, because she embarrassed Rachel in
front of the class.

2. Setting – is the time and place in which the story unfolds. The time could be in the
past, the present, or the future; during the day or the night; in any season. The place,
or scene may be imaginary or real.

In the story of Rachel, school is the setting of the story, it is a place where the story
happened.
