elements such as: introduction, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. It is the what of the
story. Plot usually begins with a problem and ends in the story’s resolution.
. Conflict: Every story worth its salt requires conflict. This conflict can be thought of as a challenge or
problem that drives the action of the story. No conflict, no story. Setting up a series of cause and
effect events, conflict gives these events their why.

the moral or idea that the writer is expressing through the story. It is often thought of as the ‘message’

language-Figurative language refers to a language that deviates from the conventional order and
meaning in order to convey a complicated meaning, colorful writing, clarity, or evocative comparison. It
uses an ordinary sentence to refer to something without directly stating it. Although it's often debated
how many types of figurative language there are, it's safe to say there are at least five main categories.
They are: metaphors, similes, personification, hyperbole, and symbolism.This coffee shop is an ice
box! (metaphor)She's drowning in a sea of grief. (metaphor)She's happy as a clam. (simile)I move fast

Drama is the specific mode of fiction represented in performance: a play, opera, mime, ballet, etc. The
term "drama" comes from a Greek word meaning "action" (Classical Greek: δρᾶμα, drama), which is
derived from "I do" (Classical Greek:).DramaDrama is a mode of fictional representation
through dialogue and performance. It is one of the literary genres, which is an imitation of some action.
Drama is also a type of a play written for theater, television, radio, and film.In simple words, a drama is a
composition in verse or prose presenting a story in pantomime or dialogue. It contains conflict of
characters, particularly the ones who perform in front of audience on the stage. The person who writes
drama for stage directions is known as a “dramatist” or “playwright.”Comedy – Comedies are lighter
in tone than ordinary works, and provide a happy conclusion. The intention of dramatists in comedies is to
make their audience laugh. Hence, they use quaint circumstances, unusual characters, and witty
remarks.Tragedy – Tragic dramas use darker themes, such as disaster, pain, and death. Protagonists
often have a tragic flaw — a characteristic that leads them to their downfall.Farce – Generally, a farce is a
19
Form ID (L)

nonsensical genre of drama, which often overacts or engages slapstick humor.Melodrama – Melodrama
is an exaggerated drama, which is sensational and appeals directly to the senses of the audience. Just
like the farce, the characters are of a single dimension and simple, or may be stereotyped.Musical
Drama – In musical dramas, dramatists not only tell their stories through acting and dialogue, but through
dance as well as music. Often the story may be comedic, though it may also involve serious subjects.

the expression of feelings and ideas by the use of distinctive style and rhythm; poems collectively or as a

Short story-A short story is a piece of prose fiction that typically can be read in one sitting and focuses
on a self-contained incident or series of linked incidents, with the intent of evoking a "single effect" or
mood. The short story is a crafted form in its own right.Elements of a Short Story-A short story is
fictional work of prose that is shorter in length than a novel. Edgar Allan Poe, in his essay "The
Philosophy of Composition," said that a short story should be read in one sitting, anywhere from a half
hour to two hours. In contemporary fiction, a short story can range from 1,000 to 20,000 words.
There are different ways in which literature can be portrayed - a novel, drama, poetry, biography, non-
fictional prose, an essay, an epic, or short stories. All these entities have elements.Essay, an analytic,
interpretative, or critical literary composition usually much shorter and less systematic and formal than a
dissertation or thesis and usually dealing with its subject from a limited and often personal point of
view.Drama is one of the best literary forms through which dramatists can directly speak to their readers,
or the audience, and they can receive instant feedback of audiences. A few dramatists use their
characters as a vehicle to convey their thoughts and values, such as poets do with personas, and
novelists do with narrators. Since drama uses spoken words and dialogues, thus language of characters
plays a vital role, as it may give clues to their feelings, personalities, backgrounds, and change in feelings.
In dramas the characters live out a story without any comments of the author, providing the audience a
direct presentation of characters’ life experiences.Elements of Drama-Writers of fiction use seven
elements to tell their stories:Character. These are the beings who inhabit our stories. Plot. Plot is what
happens in the story, the series of events. Setting. Setting is where your story takes place. Point-of-
view,style,theme.Literary Devices.Classification of Drama-There are four main forms of drama. They
are comedy, tragedy, tragicomedy and melodrama. All these types have the common characteristics of
drama genre; they are, plot, characters, conflict, music and dialogue.Techniques of Reading Drama.

Philippine mythology is the body of myths, tales, and belief systems held by Filipinos (composed of
more than a hundred ethnic peoples in the Philippines), originating from various cultures and traditions of
the peoples of what eventually became the Philippines. Philippine mythology is incorporated from various
sources, having similarities with Indonesian and Malay myths, as well as Hindu, Muslim, Shinto, Buddhist,
and Christian traditions, such as the notion of heaven (kaluwalhatian, kalangitan, kamurawayan, etc.), hell
(kasamaan, sulad, etc.), and the human soul (kaluluwa, kaulolan, makatu, ginokud, etc.). Philippine
mythology attempts to explain the nature of the world through the lives and actions
of deities (called anitos in the north and diwatas in the south), heroes, and mythological creatures. The
majority of these myths were passed on through oral tradition, and preserved through the aid of
community spiritual leaders
or shamans (babaylan, katalonan, mumbaki, baglan, machanitu, walian, mangubat, bahasa, etc.) and
community elders.
The mythologies and indigenous religions of the Philippines have historically been referred to as Anitism,
meaning "ancestral religion". Other terms used were Anitismo, a Hispano-Filipino translation,
and Anitería, a derogatory version used by most members of the Spanish clergy.Today, many ethnic
peoples continue to practice and conserve their unique indigenous religions, notably in ancestral
domains, although foreign and foreign-inspired religions continue to influence their life-ways through
conversions, inter-marriage, and land-buying. A number of scholarly works have been devoted to Anitism
and its various aspects, although many of its stories and traditions have yet to be recorded by specialists
in the fields of anthropology and folklore.
