understood only by reference to its intrinsic features, which are the elements. These elements include
the CHARACTERS, SETTING, PLOT, POINT of VIEW, THEME and SYMBOLISM.

● Static- character who does not change overtime
● Dynamic- character whose personality changes overtime.
SETTING – refers to time and place the story takes place. This includes weather condition and social

PLOT- has something to do with the whole sequence of the story. It shows the beginning of the

conflict or how the conflict is solved.
POINT of VIEW –this is the angle the story is told: first, second or third person. Who speaks in the
story?

SYMBOLISM – any object, person or situation, event or action that has deeper meaning.
