What is a plot diagram, and how can it help us predict the outcomes of a story?

A plot diagram is a visual of the exposition, rising action, climax,and resolution.The plot is the main events in which happens in a story. Exposition is the beginning where the setting, characters, and background history are revealed. The climax is the most important, most exciting moment in the story. Of course the resolution is the moment when you see if the story ends up the way you want it to end. Like if it had a happy ending or a bitter last sentence.

     

      By using a plot diagram it can help you predict the outcomes of a story by seeing what comes next. Like for example if I had a plot diagram for my book I just recently read I would have known when the exposition would have ended. So then I would see when thing would start picking up pace into the rising action. Also it helps you by recognizing what is happening. It is doing this so when you don't get where you are, the plot diagram will help you.

What are the 4 types of conflict, and why does every story we read have conflict?

The 4 types of conflict

1. Man vs Man - a conflict that involves multiple people fighting.

2. Man vs Nature- a conflict that involves a person that fights nature or has to deal with nature.

3. Man vs Society- a conflict that involves a  person against a group or culture.

4. Man vs Self-  a conflict that in involves a person trying to decide or make up their mind.

Why does ever story we read have conflict?

Every story we read has conflict, if it didn't the story would be very boring. It would be boring because there would be no suspense or action. Like in the Hunger Games, if Katniss and her sister never got picked then they wouldn't meet new people, change the games, and there wouldn't be another book. It also must have conflict so there would be a moral to the story. In conclusion if you didn't have a conflict then the story would be dull and boring!
