___________ It was a dark and stormy night. I sat alone in the old, dilapidated house staring out the window. The sky was black, the wind was loud, and the rain slammed against the broken windowpane. I shut my eyes, remembering my earlier visit, and I felt so embarrassed and angry. When I opened them, the lightning bolt flashed and lit up the room once more. I had to get out of the house; I had to hide. No one could know my horrible mistake. I opened the door, took a deep breath, and ran into the cold and rain. setting classic plot falling action flashback point of view motivation episodic situational plot omniscient limited theme rising action atmosphere conflict tone foreshadowing In medias res symbol verbal dramatic climax exposition intrusive Unreliable ___________ “As the campers settled into their tents, Zara hoped her eyes did not betray her fear, and Lisa silently wished for the night to quickly end” Marcus warily took one more glance at his mom, unable to read the look on her face, before heading to school. setting classic plot falling action flashback point of view motivation episodic situational plot omniscient limited theme rising action atmosphere conflict tone foreshadowing In medias res symbol verbal dramatic climax exposition intrusive Unreliable ___________ Marcus warily took one more glance at his mom, unable to read the look on her face, before heading to school. setting classic plot falling action flashback point of view motivation episodic situational plot omniscient limited theme rising action atmosphere conflict tone foreshadowing In medias res symbol verbal dramatic climax exposition intrusive Unreliable ___________ Once upon a time, in a kingdom called Grimm, an old king lay on his deathbed. He was Hansel and Gretel’s grandfather—but he didn’t know that, for neither Hansel nor Gretel had been born yet. Now hold on a minute. I know what you’re thinking. I am well aware that nobody wants to hear a story that happens before the main characters show up. Stories like that are boring, because they all end exactly the same way. With the main characters showing up. But don’t worry. This story is like no story you’ve ever heard. You see, Hansel and Gretel don’t just show up at the end of this story. They show up. And then they get their heads cut off. Just thought you’d like to know. setting classic plot falling action flashback point of view motivation episodic situational plot omniscient limited theme rising action atmosphere conflict tone foreshadowing In medias res symbol verbal dramatic climax exposition intrusive Unreliable ___________ 1801--I have just returned from a visit to my landlord--the solitary neighbour that I shall be troubled with. This is certainly a beautiful country! In all England, I do not believe that I could have fixed on a situation so completely removed from the stir of society.

Lauren asked—in what I imagined was an insolent tone—from across the fire. "We've sort of known each other since I was born," he laughed, smiling at me again. "How nice." She didn't sound like she thought it was nice at all, and her pale, fishy eyes narrowed. —Twilight, by Stephenie Meyer You are not the kind of guy who would be at a place like this at this time of the morning. But here you are, and you cannot say that the terrain is entirely unfamiliar, although the details are fuzzy. You are at a nightclub talking to a girl with a shaved head. The club is either Heartbreak or the Lizard Lounge. All might come clear if you could just slip into the bathroom and do a little more Bolivian Marching Powder. Then again it might not. [...] —Bright Lights, by Jay McInerney It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters. “My dear Mr. Bennet,” said his lady to him one day, “have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?” —Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen setting classic plot falling action flashback point of view motivation episodic situational plot omniscient limited theme rising action atmosphere conflict tone foreshadowing In medias res symbol verbal dramatic climax exposition intrusive Unreliable ___________ ___________ setting classic plot falling action flashback point of view motivation episodic situational plot omniscient limited theme rising action atmosphere conflict tone foreshadowing In medias res symbol verbal dramatic climax exposition intrusive Unreliable ___________ ___________ setting classic plot falling action flashback point of view motivation episodic situational plot omniscient limited theme rising action atmosphere conflict tone foreshadowing In medias res symbol verbal dramatic climax exposition intrusive Unreliable ___________ ___________ setting classic plot falling action flashback point of view motivation episodic situational plot omniscient limited theme rising action atmosphere conflict tone foreshadowing In medias res symbol verbal dramatic climax exposition intrusive Unreliable ___________ ___________ ___________ setting classic plot falling action flashback point of view motivation episodic situational plot omniscient limited theme rising action atmosphere conflict tone foreshadowing In medias res symbol verbal dramatic climax exposition intrusive Unreliable ___________ The story of “The Gift of the Magi” ___________ setting classic plot falling action flashback point of view motivation episodic situational plot omniscient limited theme rising action atmosphere conflict tone foreshadowing In medias res symbol verbal dramatic climax exposition intrusive Unreliable ___________ Appearances can be deceiving Hard work and Patience pay off in the end those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. ___________
