Conclusion:

1. What is story?

A story is a series of happenings arranged in the natural temporal order as they occur. Story is the basis of the novel, and indeed the basis of narrative works of all kinds.

2. What is character?

When we read a novel we read about our fellow beings, and that is one of the motives in reading at all. The“ fellow beings” in the novel is termed characters. By "fellow beings” is meant not only “human beings” but also “other beings,” such as animals. George Orwell uses animals to represent human beings in his novel Animal Farm. Lewis Carroll creates many lovely animals in his Alice's Adventures in Wonderland that appeal to both children and adults.

3. What is plot?

A plot is a particular arrangement of happenings in a novel that is aimed at revealing their causal relationships or at conveying the novelist's ideas. A plot is sometimes called a story line. The most important of the traditional plot is that it should be a complete or unified action, that is, something with a beginning, a middle, and an end.
