"Thematics, " by Boris Tomashevsky Summarry
in "Thematics," by Boris Tomashevsky he disscuses the difference between plot and story, most people think their interchngable but this is not the case. Story is the easy way to say what the event and characters are doing and going through. plot is how the story is set up, what events are told first and who is the narrator. story shows a connection on causeality, this means on event in the story causes another. this differs from plot in a way becasue plot is the chronalogical order of things as they appear in the literature. narration is a big part of any work of liturature simply because depending on what type of narration or who the narrator is it could dramaticaly effect the plot of the work of littiture.the two main types of narration is limited and omniscient. omniscient never spesifies who the narrator is , although the narrator knows everything even personal thought of the characters. a limited narrator is when the narrator is an actual character and the story line is told through their percpective and has an explination on how they know about it. these two main narrative styles are the only ones their are oftern mixed methods. Boris Tomashevsky uses "the caliph stork" as an example to disscuse the differences between plot and story. if the narration would have followed the herion of the tale from the begining it would have had the same story line but the plot would have been alter, because some event would have to moved as in which order they would be told but all the facts of the story line would remain

    Narration is what allows us to grasp every action and detail in a story. Although authors are usually expected to guide readers through a book, Ernest Hemingway in Hills Like White Elephants decided to narrate his story in journalistic fashion. The story being told in an objective narrative format allowed for imagination and assumptions. The story being told in third person point of view which is objective, never allows us into the minds of the characters. We are only given minimal background and specifics. Though not much is offered, we can analyze various moments in the narration that contributes and shapes to the meaning of the story.…

    Plot versus story: I honestly thought both were the same, but it is said that they are different. Story is what happens in a situation and the plot; however, is how it occurs or how the events unfold. “Stories are the narrative accounts of what people do, they are as old as the human race, and they form the substance of daily conversation, of newspapers and television, of novels and film” (Wilson, 132). I do believe that stories are “as old as human race” because without us there will be no stories to tell; for example the bible, it is a written chronological order of recorded stories of past events before human evaluation evolved into who we are today, it does make me think of melodrama. Plot on the other do not include every part of a story, “it is a selection…

    In most traditional works of literature, the existence of narration is both a crucial and mandatory element in order to fulfill the writer's purpose. Such works of literature include short stories and novels. The importance of the narrator goes beyond the act of simply telling a story that happens in a specific place at one particular point in time. Through the course of the years, famous writers have used the narrator as a tool to create suspense and force the audience to read the story from a specific point of view. Within this group of writers, William Faulkner and Charlotte Perkins Gilman have used the narrator to allow the reader to interpret the story from a desired point of view. Faulkner achieves this by using first person narrator…

Some of the twists and turns that occur might be part of it, but the basics of plot are according to Atwood in “Happy Endings” two people meet, a bunch of stuff happens and they die. The point Atwood is making is that plot, no matter how a writer contrives it, is in consequential; because, all endings are the same. Plot is nothing more than a what, and a what, and a what.…
