a.       A major character is a character that is essential to the story. If a major character were removed from the story, the story could not develop the same way.

b.       A minor character is a less important character who adds colour to the story but is not essential to the plot.

c.       A protagonist is the central or primary character in a literary work. The plot of the story revolves mainly around this character. The reader is meant to sympathize most with the protagonist.

d.       An antagonist is a character, group of characters, or an institution that works against the protagonist.

Movie “The Shawshank Redemption”

e.       Round Characters are characters who are multi-dimensional. They tend to be developed physically, mentally, and emotionally and are detailed enough to seem real. A round character demonstrates varied and sometimes contradictory traits. 

f.        Flat Characters are characters who are one-sided and less developed. They reveal very few personality traits.

g.       Stock Characters are special kinds of flat characters who are instantly recognizable to most readers. Possible examples include “the businessman”, “the movie star” or “the policeman”. They are mainly backdrop in a story and are not developed.

background actors- extras- long days, 12 or 14-hour days

h.       Dynamic Characters are characters who go through a significant change during the course of the story. Changes include ones of insight, understanding, commitment, or values.

i.        Static Characters are characters who do not change through the course of the story. Events in the story do not alter a static character’s outlook, personality, motivation, perception, habits, etc., in any fundamental way.

 

3.       Personification is the attribution of human traits and characteristics to inanimate objects, phenomena and animals.

 

4.       Plot is the sequence of related events or actions in a story. A plot can usually be broken down into a traditional five-part plot structure. These parts are as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

a.       exposition - an introduction to the main characters, settings, and situations of the plot

expose(v)- to show

b.       rising action - the events and complications that lead to an important and dramatic point in the plot

c.       climax - the point of greatest interest and emotional involvement in the plot

d.       falling action - the events that develop from the climax and lead to the conclusion

e.       resolution or denouement - the final outcome which ties up any loose ends left in the story

This structure can be depicted as a lopsided pyramid, with two base lines.
