    point of view - 1st person - “I” stories
    2nd person - “you” stories
    3rd person - omniscient or limited

    characters - make sure to include protangonist, antagonist
    protagonist - main character
    antagonist - the character that conflicts with the protagonist

    conflict - external conflict happens outside of the mind; internal conflict happens inside the mind

    climax - everything comes together / turning plot; peak of action

    resolution - falling action
    who things/characters have changed by the end of the story

    themes- themes are universal
    keep your themes simple

    literary devices - symbolism, foreshadowing, flashbacks, realistic dialogue, irony, figurative language, creative or realistic writing & satire

    Quotes - “this is a quote by_________________.”
    “ ‘quoting a quote,’ said_____________.”

    Recommendation - be specific what was good or what was bad
