- Characters: The people who are used in the work, such as: protagonist, antagonist. Major characters and minor characters.
- Narrator: Who tells the story. It can be:
1) First person narrator: The narrator is a usually a character in the work. Pronouns such as "I" and "we" are used. Found in autobiographies and some fiction.
2) Second person narrator: When the narrator uses the pronoun "you." In effect, this comes across that the narrator is telling you the story.
3) Third person narrator: when the narrator uses the pronouns "he," "she," or "they." The third person narrator is the most versatile because it can tell the story from any time and place.
- Style: The language of the work where it is modern, old, easy, or difficult. Also, the techniques the author uses to convey his or her message.
