What about storytelling structure?



What else about storytelling? 

Watch this interesting video and please disscuss about it, What do you think?



Plot refers to the series of events that give a story its meaning and effect. 
In most stories, these events arise out of conflict experienced by the main character. 
The conflict may come from something external, like a dragon or an overbearing mother, 
or it may stem from an internal issue, such as  jealousy, loss of identity, or overconfidence.

In fiction, character refers to a textual representation of a human being 
(or occasionally another creature). Most fiction writers agree that character  
development is the key element in a story's creation, and in most pieces of fiction 
a close identification with the characters is crucial to understanding the story. 
The story's protagonist is the central agent in generating its plot, and this individual 
can embody the story's theme. Characters can be either round or flat, depending on 
their level of development and the extent to which they change.

Setting, quite simply, is the story’s time and place. While setting includes simple attributes 
such as climate or wall décor, it can also include complex dimensions such as the historical 
moment the story occupies or its social context. Because particular places and times 
have their own personality or  emotional essence (such as the stark feel of a desert or 
the grim, wary resolve in the United States after the September 11th attacks), setting is also 
one of the primary ways that a fiction writer establishes mood.

The structure point could be the  simplicity of a picture book in terms 
of narrative structure, visual appeal and often fable-like brevity might seem to suggest that 
it is indeed ideally suited to a juvenile readership. It’s about showing and telling, a window for 
learning to ‘read’ in a broad sense, exploring relationships between words, pictures 
and the world we experience every day.

Now please,  choose a video about one of the famous storytelling, whatever you want and please make a table, explaining all of the elements in it. Good luck in your amazing trip!
