Major Plot Elements from the Man from the South

1) plot

-introduction;

The introduction was all of the main character first sitting at the pool and revealing the scenery of the location.

-conflict (man vs man/man vs himself) (internal/external);

The conflict is man vs man (American boy vs man in white) and man vs himself (American boy vs his common sense)

-rising action

The rising action is when the man in white initially makes the bet

-climax

The climax is when they are counting the lighter strikes

-falling action

The falling action is when the lady comes in and scolds the man in white

-denouement

The denouement/ending is definitely when it is revealed that the lady only has a finger and a thumb on her hand, for that definitely closes the whole story

2) Character

- protagonist (main character)

The man whose perspective we're reading from

- antagonist (force opposing the main character) 

The man in white

-static (remains the same)

The english girl who followed the American, for she didn't change much at all

-round (complex with many characteristics) 

The man in white, for he had some characteristics not seen til the end

- flat (single or simple characteristics) 

The main protagonist; he didn't really have much about him

- stock character (stereotype) 

The American; he was very stereotypical

- dynamic (changes throughout)

The American; his decisions and personality changed throughout 

3) Setting

-atmosphere

The atmosphere was a very serene setting, until we got into the room, then it became very tense

-time

It seems to be around modern times, generally, unless it might take place around the time of some sort of war

- place

At a hotel which has a pool, then in one of the hotel rooms

4) Theme

I am unsure as to the theme of this short story

5) Point of View

-first person

-third person (omniscient, limited omniscient, objective/limited) 

The point of view is first person, from the point of view of the main protagonist

6) Foreshadowing

It was definitely foreshadowing when the man in white started questioning the American about the lighter 'never failing'
