ElementMeaning
Story (ታሪክ)A narration of events arranged in time order.
Characters (ገፀባህሪያት)The people the author creates to represent people of the real world.
Setting (መቼት)The time and place where the characters live and act out their story.
Conflict (ግጭት)A clash between characters, or a struggle within a character over whether to act.
Plot structure (ትልም)Events and actions linked by cause and effect, told in sequence.
Theme (ጭብጥ)The message drawn out of the whole story.
Point of view (አንጻር)The direction from which the author tells the story.

When you use it

Reach for this when a question asks you to identify or define the elements (አላባውያን) of a novel or short story.

Watch out

Theme (ጭብጥ) is the message drawn out of the whole story, not a summary of what happens. Conflict includes both a clash between characters and a struggle within one character.

FeatureMeaning
Single effect (ነጠላ ውጤት)All parts of the story converge on one main focus that the author wants to stay in the reader's mind.
Haste (ጥድፊያ)The story moves quickly, without winding plot twists, wide setting descriptions or character backgrounds.
Economy (ቁጥብነት)The story focuses on one episode of the main character's life rather than tracing his or her life from birth to death.

When you use it

Reach for this when a question asks you to name or explain the features (ባህርያት) of a short story.

Watch out

Haste (ጥድፊያ) means telling the story quickly without wide setting descriptions or character backgrounds. It does not mean skipping the events of the plot.

When you use it

Reach for this when a question asks you to classify a phrase (ሀረግ) or to build a phrase from a given word.

Watch out

The head word decides the phrase type, not the first word. ብልህ ልጅ is a noun phrase because its head word is ልጅ, even though it contains an adjective.
