Analyze Plot

Most stories recount a series of events, also known as a plot. A story's setting, or the time and place of the action, influences the characters and the conflict, or the struggle between opposing forces. As the conflict unfolds, the plot can build suspense, the growing tension felt by the reader. Writers also use foreshadowing, or hints that suggest future events, to create suspense and increase interest in what will happen.
