English literature by Mugoya FRANK Joseph

Dr. Maya Angelou was one of my heroes. A woman of many talents, her greatest gift was the ability to see people. Sometimes in ways no one else had. She understood beauty and pain and rage and hope in an intimate way—and taught us to carry that weight with our heads held high. Today, on what would have been her 95th birthday, let’s honor her memory by striving to embody the wisdom, generosity, and love she showed the world every day.

Maya Angelou 🖤

A sentimental post.🥺🥺 Be brave , Be brave.

CHARACTER
A story’s characters are the doers of the actions. Characters most often take human form but, on occasion, a story can employ animals, fantastical creatures, and even inanimate objects as characters.

Some characters are dynamic and change over the course of a story, while others are static and do not grow or change as a result of the action of the story.

There are many different types of characters to be found in works of literature and each serves a different function.

Now, let’s take a look at some of the most important of these.
1.Protagonist
2.Antagonist
3.Flat Character
4.Rounded Character
5.etcetera

Kindly comment with what you know about the different aforementioned types of characters

SETTING is yet another example of literature elements, yesterday we shared PLOT. Below is a summary of what Setting means..

Setting consists of two key elements: space and time. Space refers to the where of the story; most often the geographical location where the action of the story takes place. Time refers to the when of the story. This could be a historical period, the present, or in the future.

The setting has some other aspects for the reader or writer to consider too. For example, drilling down from the broader time and place, elements such as the weather, cultural context, and physical surroundings, etc can be important.

The setting is a crucial part of a story’s exposition and is often used to establish the mood of the story. A carefully crafted setting can be used to skillfully hint at the story’s theme and to reveal some aspects of the various characters.

Kindly comment with more information about setting and let's learn together. Thanks in advance

PLOT AS AN ELEMENT IN ENGLISH LITERATURE
Plot refers to all of the related things that happen in sequence in a story. The shape of the plot comes from the order of these events and consists of several distinct aspects that we’ll look at in turn.

The plot is made up of a series of cause and effect events that lead the reader from the beginning of the story, through the middle, to the story’s ending (though sometimes the chronological order is played with for dramatic effect). I tried to summarize it in a more understandable manner, kindly comment with what you think PLOT means. Thanks
