Character and Conflict in Literature

We have been working on analyzing some of the elements of fiction for the past few classes. Two classes ago, we read the short story "Time Transfixed," and we applied the following elements of fiction to the story: protagonist, antagonist, external conflict, internal conflict and theme. We are going to begin analyzing these components in our novels, before Winter Break, and then after Winter Break, students will be given their final project to complete, related to their novel.
