Plot
What is plot?
Defining plot almost seems silly. I mean, we all know what it is right? It's... Well, you see, it's...
Defining plot as a two-headed animal is helpful. First, plot is the sequence of what happens in a story. Easy enough. Second, there is a thematic element to plot that we should consider. In other words, what is the story about, anyway?
Sequence can be thought of in terms of acts in a play, chapters in a book, or scenes in a movie. Theme includes questions like: What is the goal? What's required for the good guy to win? What will happen to the girl if certain actions are taken?
