According to the dictionary, plot is the plan of action for a play, novel, poem, short story, etc. When we read a story, we continue reading because we are waiting for the resolution of a conflict, or the solution to a mystery, a moral to the story, or just a plain "happy ending". This is what keeps us reading the story.
Plot also can be defined as the main story arc of a literary work.
Elements of the Story Arc:
· Exposition - introduction of the main characters and setting; “en medias res” in shorter forms
· Rising Action - one (or more) characters in crisis
· Climax - point of highest emotion; turning point
· Falling Action - resolution of character’s crisis
· Denouement - “untying of plot treads”; resolution
Plot Structure - one of a finite number of plans in which to tell a story
