Hello! I am Studyfin, your friendly tutor. Today, we will learn how to find the parts of a great story!
Every story has a structure. It is like a map that a story follows from the start to the end.
A story has three main parts. We call these the sequence of events. They are the beginning, the middle, and the end.
The conflict is the main problem that the characters must solve. It makes the story exciting!
The resolution is how the characters solve the problem. It brings a happy or neat ending to the story.
✏️ Worked example
Let us analyze the story of 'The Lost Key'. Tim lost his house key on the way home. He looked everywhere. Then, he found it in his backpack pocket. He opened his door and smiled. Let us find the sequence, the conflict, and the resolution.
First, find the beginning of the story. Tim is walking home, but he cannot get inside.
Next, find the conflict. The main problem is that Tim lost his house key.
Then, follow the middle events. Tim looks everywhere for his key.
Last, find the resolution. Tim finds the key in his backpack pocket and opens his door. The problem is solved!
