 Analyzing the Plot of a Story
PLOT – the series of interconnected events that make up a story.
A plot’s structure, or the way in which the events of a story are presented, may be chronological
or non-chronological.

• Chronological plot structure

(1) First establishes the setting and conflict in the story
(2) the rising action
(3) the climax (the part when the conflict is at its peak, thus creating the greatest tension)
(4) the falling action
(5) the denouement (the wrapping up of loose ends)
(6) the conclusion (the resolution of the conflict)

• Non-chronological plot structure

- Does not follow a time-based sequence
- One of the strategies used for this structure is flashback.

 Flashback – shows information about earlier events.

- The story may begin in the midst of the action and then later present the background to explain
the present events.
- It may happen more than once and in different parts of a story.
