LITERATURE
It refers to a body of written works
such as poetry, novels, history, biography,
and essays that reflects the background
of a certain culture. It is derived from the
Latin word litaritura/litteratura which
means “writing formed with letters.”

TWO TYPES OF
LITERATURE
FICTION
NONFICTION

FICTION
Is a type of literature that is a
product of a writer’s imagination. It
can be inspired by actual or
completely made-up events. It is
usually created through the use of
clear details that we recognize or that
move us in some ways.

NONFICTION
Is a type of literature that is
based on facts. It is writing
about real people, places, and
events which include
biographies, autobiographies,
and interviews.

ELEMENTS OF A STORY
Setting
Plot
Character
Conflict
Point of View
Theme

1. Setting refers to the
time and place in which the
action of the story happens.

2. Plot is defined as an
interrelated sequence of events
in a story where each event
affects the other, thus showing
the cause-and-effect
relationship.

FIVE ELEMENTS
OF PLOT
Exposition/Initial Action
Rising Action
Climax.
Falling Action
Resolution/Denouement.

Exposition/Initial Action. This
is the very beginning of a story. In
this part, authors usually introduce
the major characters and setting
to the reader.

Rising Action. This is the part
when tension starts to build. It
usually involves facing and
conquering minor conflicts, which
is what keeps the plot moving
forward.

Climax. This is the part of
the story where the characters
finally have to face and solve the
major conflict. This is the "peak" of
the plot or the highest point of
interest where all the tensions of
the rising action lead to the
success or failure of the hero.

Falling Action. This is
everything that happens after
the climax but before the
resolution. This is when the
tension lessens and starts
bringing the action to a close.

Resolution/Denouement.
This is the conclusion or ending
of a story.

3. Character. It refers to a
person, an object, an animal, or
imaginary creature personified
in the story. There are two types
of characters: the protagonist
and the antagonist.

a. Protagonist. It is the main character
who does heroic acts in the story.
Example: Amihan, Alena, and Danaya
b. Antagonist. It is also a main
character who opposes the protagonist in
some way.
Example: Pirena, Hagorn and more

4. Conflict. It refers to the
problem that the main characters
have to face. The conflict of the
story has four major types: man
vs. man, man vs. self, man vs.
society, and man vs. supernatural.

 Man vs. man. It is the conflict of the story in
which the struggle is between the protagonist
and the antagonist.
 Man vs. society. It is a conflict that occurs when
the character has a conflict with the government,
cultural, or societal tradition.
 Man vs. self. It is a conflict that takes place
within the character himself. It often involves the
character in making a decision between right and
wrong.
 Man vs. supernatural. It is a conflict that
happens when the protagonist faces a struggle
against a god, gods, and supernatural forces.

5. Point of View. This is the
angle of narration or the
perspective from which the
story is told. It can be
classified as first person and
third person.

a. First Person.
The narrator is a character in the story who can reveal
only personal thoughts and feelings. It uses the personal
pronoun I.
Example: “I was standing in the dark. I was scared and cold.
Then, I felt something on my shoulder, and it was a hand. I
was trying to get away, but it wouldn’t let me go. I screamed
as loud as I could, but no one heard me.” – In the Dark
b. Third person.
This is when the narrator is removed from the story and
tells it from an outside perspective. To do this, the narrator
uses personal pronouns like "he," "she," and "they" to refer
to the characters in the story.

6. Theme.
It refers to the central idea or
message of a story.
Example
In Encantadia, the theme was
about fantasy, love,
responsibilities, betrayal and
revenge.

What’s More In the Dark
There I was, standing in the dark. No one was there but
me and the night. All I could do was stand there and not
move. If I moved, I would fall into the black pit. I was scared
and cold. I tried to scream, but all you could hear was my
echo. I was trying to feel my way without moving, but I
couldn’t feel anything. I felt something on my shoulder, and it
was a hand. I was trying to get away, but it wouldn’t let me
go. Then the hands pushed me into the black pit. I screamed
as loud as I could, but no one heard me. I tried to stop
myself from falling, but I kept on falling. Then a hand from
under me stopped me from falling; the hand that stopped me
was my mother’s
