I want to take a look at, particularly, the elements that make up a piece of fiction. <b>The first element is speech.<\/b> This applies to whether the narrator talks in first person, second person, or third person.<\/p>\n<p>Thoughts also influence the piece of writing, any internal thoughts or dialogue one character of the story is having with themselves. <b>Dramatic involvement also has an influence.<\/b> This is how hard the writer tries to get the reader involved in the story, or whether the writer tries to distance the reader from the story. <b>Action also plays a role in a piece of fiction.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>How much action there is, the duration, or the length, of a story, or certain segments of a story makes an impact, as well as the setting. Where something takes place can play a huge role in developing a piece of fiction and setting a certain mood. <b>Themes are also very important.<\/b> This is not the topic or the main idea of a piece of fiction, but some kind of recurring idea that comes up throughout the story.<\/p>\n<p><b>Themes play a role, as well as symbolism.<\/b> Symbolism is things like similes and metaphors, or generally something that stands for something else, something that represents something else in the story. In a piece of fiction, you can look for these types of elements that help make up the piece of fiction and make it or break it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the Elements of Fiction?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":{"0":"post-8297","1":"page","2":"type-page","3":"status-publish","5":"page_type-video","6":"page_domain-english"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8297"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8297\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49803,"href":"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8297\/revisions\/49803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
