A story is an engrossing narrative that develops via the skillful placement of characters, storyline, and setting. It is an oral or literary work that engages the audience's emotions, thoughts, and imagination while enveloping them in a new world. Characters emerge within the framework of a story, each with distinct qualities and motivations that advance the plot. The plot, which is a series of events, draws the audience in by creating a tension-filled, conflict-filled, and ultimately resolved picture. Setting provides the background and atmosphere in which the story is told. A well-written narrative has a beginning, middle, and end that let the audience travel with the characters and share in their struggles, victories, and changes. Lessons, themes, and messages are frequently hidden beneath the surface, beckoning reflection and connection. A story is essentially a vehicle for human expression and a cross-cultural communication tool.
