plot?

anonymous · Answer

mostly it would be plot and characterization. How you set things up. however How characters act imagery and where places take place is also important. perhaps a dramatic scene, full of action and suspense. perhaps clues.. or things that would represent something. then there is the Theme, where its taking place, conflict. basically things that cause bring a voice too your words. in other words..=) allot of options are important. But overall.. Plot.. Characterization.. Setting .. and Theme are important. I would say The Most Important... Would Be....<<(Plot)>>..!!..=) I Hope this Helps..=) - Shaina
