Theme
10/4/2017
The theme of a literary work is its centralmessage, concern, or purpose.
A theme can usually be expressed as ageneralization, or general statement, aboutpeople or life.
The theme may be stated directly by the writeralthough it is more often presented indirectly.
When the theme is stated indirectly, the readermust figure out the theme by looking carefullyat what the work reveals about the people orabout life.

e.g. Saying that you lovesomeone‟s shirt when you reallythink it‟s ugly is being ironic.
Two major categories:
1. Situational 2.Verbal
Plot Plot is the sequence of events. The first event
causes the second, the second causes the third, and so forth.
In most novels, dramas, short stories, and narrative poems, the plot involves both characters and a central conflict.
The plot usually begins with an exposition that introduces the setting, the characters, and the basic situation. This is introduced and developed. The conflict then increases until it reaches a high point of interest or suspense, the climax. The climax is followed by the falling action, or end, of the central conflict. Any events that occur during the falling action make up the resolution.
Point of View
Point of View is the perspective, or vantage point, from which a story is told. It is the relationship of the narrator to the story.
First-person is told by a character who uses the first-person pronoun “I”.
Third-person limited point of view is the point of view where the narrator uses third-person pronouns such as “he” and “she” to refer to the characters.

place of the action.
