1. The sequence of events in a story where the main character is in a challenging situation forces them to make increasingly difficult choices, driving the story toward a climactic event and resolution. When put together, the cause and effect relationship between the events in a story forms the plot. 2. When recounted in detail, the story of a person’s life resembles the plot in a novel. Roles, identities, games, situations, and events are interrelated and dependent on each other. Many events repeat the same scenarios with different characters, places, and times. For example, suppose you had an overbearing and critical father. In that case, you may find yourself working for a domineering and critical boss, so you resign and get a new job with a boss that looks different, only to discover that this new boss is domineering and critical too!
