I can analyze how plot elements contribute to a story's overall meaning.

A plot is a sequence of events that describes what happens in a story and why it happens.

The six main parts of a plot are: exposition, conflict, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution.

The exposition gives background information, the conflict is the dramatic struggle, and the climax is when the conflict is resolved.
