Character and Plot
Plot refers to the important
events in a story.
Characters are the people in
the story.
Point of View
 The perspective from which an
author tells a story is called point
of view.
 Who the author chooses to tell
the story determines what we
learn about the characters and
their actions.
Point of View
 In first-person point of view,
words such as I and me show that
the narrator is a character in the
story.
Point of View
 In third-person point of view, the
narrator is not a character in the
story. The writer uses words such
as he, she, it, and they to tell
about characters.
 Authors sometimes mix points of
view within a story.
Suffixes
 We can use our knowledge of
suffixes to determine the meanings
of longer words.
 The suffixes –tion, -ation, and
–ment turn verbs into nouns.
