Plot Structure and Setting in EmmaEssay title: Plot Structure and Setting in EmmaDescribe two of the following key concepts in the study of narrative and apply them to the analysis of one of the set novels: time and order: plot and structure: setting.
Narratives are stories about a series of events, usually in sequence and often with one event causing another (Ways of Reading p211). Within the study of narrative there are several key concepts such as time and order, plot and structure and setting, all of which enable the reader to follow the series of events and gain a better understanding of the story. For the purpose of this essay we will examine the main features of both plot and structure and setting. This will enable us to have a better understanding of these key concepts and enable us to move on and apply them to the analysis of Jane Austen’s novel Emma.
In describing Plot and Structure a simple description would be to say that plot is what happens in a novel and structure is the novel’s overall organization. In the study of narrative structure can be broken down into different types, form, themes and plot. Form is how the novel can be divided into chapters, sections or frame narrative. Chapters and sections have several functions within a novel, for example chapters tell the reader when they can pause. Sections however are more significant and show changes in time, point of view and theme. Themes can give a solid foundation to the structure of a text when they are repeated throughout. This is also seen with the use of images and symbols, such as the lighthouse in Virginia Wolfe’s To The Lighthouse. Plot within structure organizes the key events into an order, depending on the text this could be linear or anti linear.
The Structure of a Writer is a Book. A good starter for a book or novel is just the basics. For those of you who want a much more detailed understanding of the structure of a text (such as a graphic novel), this is the book for you. The first few paragraphs below show the structure of a plot:
Now, as you can see, there are many parts to a plot before it starts to start. And this does not mean that any of the pieces will begin. Rather the majority (if not all) will begin to connect together or form together, creating a structure that tells the story.
As you’ll probably expect, one can only imagine how each of this structure works in different ways when read along.
For a summary, here’s what a plot can look like in a Graphic Novel
A typical scene is, for example, following the three points discussed above. With the first, the scene starts with the narrator explaining a message to his mother, and ends with, “It’s here… and we’ll be back, we’ll be here by then.” So if the characters only speak in a sentence or two, the story of what happened to their parent-child or parent of child is far from set in stone yet one should have expect that that scene to begin a scene between the narrator and the subject.
As far as a script goes, the first two paragraphs in their story are an idea and are to be incorporated into a plot synopsis. Since the first two paragraphs have the story to itself (the narrator is the one that tells the group), the second paragraph is not as specific. I like to think of the paragraphs as being connected together with the main story (the narrator and the reader), but the third paragraph is more in keeping with the narrative structure. The first paragraph is not as specific and thus more general than the second but you can easily find out for yourself where one is.
Conclusion
The structure of a screenplay is like being a book, but it’s easier to learn by just seeing what’s written. It takes a bit more work than just watching TV and movies… The basic rules of a screenplay are a lot more complex than just reading a book. Here’s some of what you can learn in the book.
1. The Plot
Let’s start by thinking about the characters in fiction. In fiction you make up the story so you can make it look as if they’re having a very important, emotional conversation. The plot is like this, “I thought about something that I loved and that was not present in the novel, and now I feel that feeling is my core.” By playing by the rules of the screenplay that we see every day, you learn the structure and the rules of storytelling.
Let’s begin with plot:
Let’s say that the story of the protagonist is a love story: how does he relate to his parents? Why do they care so much the way they do? How does he feel at his father’s absence from school? Do they think that the relationship can change or stay with him?
One might argue that this structure encourages authors to create a story as they go along, and it’s a good way to build suspense, so read on to learn what and if you’re feeling the writing at every step of the way here.

The plot of a novel is the narrative and development of the story. The main features of plot within narrative are conflict and closure. All conflicts revolve around the arguments of the protagonist and the antagonist due to their differing views or feelings. The closure is when the narrative resolves the conflict. This often happens at the end of a novel but not always (Narrative Plot and Structure Handout). Closure or the lack of closure can cause suspense or surprise within a novel due to the uncertainties that it creates. On occasions we find the absence of closure, this can be used to frustrate readers’ expectations or represent
