elements of plot 1 ...

all human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, and desire - aristotle (384 bc – 7 march 322 bc !)

elements of plot in a narrative :

1. initial situation - the beginning. it is the first incident that makes the story move.
2. conflict or Problem - goal which the main character of the story has to achieve.
3. complication - obstacles which the main character has to overcome.
4. climax - highest point of interest of the story.
5. suspense - point of tension. it arouses the interest of the readers.
6. denouement or resolution - what happens to the character after overcoming all obstacles/failing to achieve the desired result and reaching/not reaching his goal.
7. conclusion - the end of the story.

here in my story, the initial situation is having found this tree which has potential outcome ... my next post would reveal the main character of the story and what he is up to ... any guesses ?
