ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Plot twist

Hello there! So, imagine you are watching a movie or reading a book, and you think you know what is going to happen next. But then, suddenly, something very unexpected happens! That surprise, that unexpected thing, is called a plot twist.

It's like if you were playing a game and you thought you had figured out the rules, but then someone changed them without warning! You have to think in a different way to understand what is going to happen next.

A plot twist is like a surprise party - you think you're going to have a regular day or event, and then BOOM! You're surprised by something that you didn't expect.

It's important to remember that plot twists are part of the story's plot, which is like the blueprint of the story. So, when you experience a plot twist, you are seeing the story's plan unfold in a surprising way that keeps you interested and engaged.

Does that make sense, my little friend?
