Question

Discussion-

Part A- What do you think the most important element of a plot is? Is it the exposition, conflict, rising action, climax, falling action, or resolution? Explain why you think this.

Part B- Think about how a story you have read or a movie you have watched in the past would be altered if the plot element you chose in Part A were changed. (Example: What if the wolf in the 3 little pigs were a vegetarian? The conflict would be removed, and the wolf would no longer be the antagonist.)

Answer 1

• Part A

The conflict is, in my opinion, a plot's most crucial component. Conflict is what moves the plot along, holds the attention of the reader, and presents difficulties for the characters to overcome. The main issue or conflict that the characters deal with is what drives the story's suspense and mystery. Without conflict, a narrative may feel dull and uninspired.

Characters are forced to make decisions and go through changes as a result of conflict, which acts as a catalyst for character growth. It establishes the characters' goals and aims, providing them motivation and a justification for their actions. combat lends the story depth and significance, whether it is through physical combat, internal struggle, moral conflict, or any mix of these.

• Part B

Take Romeo and Juliet from William Shakespeare as an illustration. The whole plot of this sad love story, in which the lovers come from rival families, would change if the situation were to be changed.

Imagine if there was no dislike between the Capulets and the Montagues. Romeo and Juliet might simply be together in this modified rendition since there are no social or family barriers. Their forbidden love would end, along with the pressure and rush that come with it. A profoundly different tale would result if the motivation for the whole storyline were gone.
