Anatomy of Criticism

Anatomy of Criticism is like breaking down a story into different parts, like a jigsaw puzzle. Imagine you have a puzzle that is a picture of a house, but it has many pieces that fit together. Each piece is like a different part of the story.

When we talk about Anatomy of Criticism, we split a story into different parts. These parts help us understand why the story is good or bad, and how it affects us when we read it.

One of the first parts is called "plot." This is like the bones of the story. It tells us what happens in the story, from beginning to end. It's like how the skeleton gives a body its shape.

Another part is called "characterization." This is like the muscles and organs of the story. It tells us who the characters are, what they do, and what they think. It's like how the muscles and organs help a body move and function.

Another part is called "theme." This is like the heart of the story. It tells us what the story is really about, what message it's trying to share. It's like how the heart helps a body stay alive.

Lastly, there's "style." This is like the skin and clothes of the story. It's how the story is written, the words the author uses, and how it sounds when we read it. It's like how skin and clothes make a body look and feel.

When we look at a story through the Anatomy of Criticism, we can examine each part and see how it affects the whole story. We can understand why some stories are exciting, why some make us sad, and why some just don't work at all. It's like learning how to put a puzzle together, so we can see the whole picture.
