Answer 2

The word "plot" has many definitions:
- According to Aristotle's Poetics, a plot in literature is "the arrangement of incidents" that (ideally) each follow plausibly from the other. The plot is like the chalk outline that guides the painter's brush. An example of the type of plot which follows these sorts of lines is the linear plot of development to be discerned within the pages of a bildungsroman novel.
- a carefully measured area laid out for experimentation or measurement.
- The sequence of events in a play, differs from the "story," which encompasses earlier events (multi-plot stories).
- To find a ship's actual or intended course or mark a fix on a chart.
- Lighting term: the actual brightness settings of each lantern and the LX cues. Also used to describe the process of setting the cues. Can also be used as an alternative for "blocking", ie setting the actors in their positions on-stage at an early stage in rehearsal.
- To use vector graphics: that is, to draw images with many straight lines, rather than dots.
- Plots the specified thermograph(s) on a single graph.


plot (plural plots) :
1. The general course of a story including significant events that determine its course or significant patterns of events.
2. An area or land used for building on or planting on.
3. A plan to commit a crime.
4. A graph or diagram drawn by hand or produced by a mechanical device.

Answer 3

Plot is basically the storyline. There are 5 main parts: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and conclusion/resolution.

Exposition-When the problem is introduced

Rising Action-All events that lead up to the climax

Climax-The point in the story when we know how it will resolve/turn out

Falling Action-All events after the climax

Resolution/Conclusion-How the problem was resolved/ended

Answer 4

Whenever we describe to someone what is a movie or a book about, we describe the plot. You don't give the details but just an overview, just enough to get the picture of the story and hopefully entice him/her to watch the movie or read the book.

(You can think of all the works that remind you about -- Star Trek.)

Your plots may not be the same as I describe.
