Literary element

Literary element is a piece of writing that helps make a story more interesting. It might be a character, a setting, or a plot twist. Characters are the people or animals in a story. Setting is where and when the story happens. Plot twist is something that comes up suddenly and changes the story from the way it was going. All of these elements work together to make a story exciting and fun to read.
