Plot questionnaires

1. What is the story all about? What are the main events in the story, and how are they related to each other?
- The story is all about a woman who really had a hard time finding a job because of her race. One main event is when she got rejected for the job she want because she's black, that causes a dissappointment in her.
2. Are the main events of the story arranged chronologically, or are they arranged in another way?
-They mostly are well arranged in a chronological order.
3. How is the story narrated?
-The narrator is actually telling about her life and which it seems to be all about the summaries of what had happened.
4. Is the plot fast-paced or slow-paced?
-The plot could be slow-paced because the story was actually going smoothly by order.
5. How do the thoughts, behaviors, and actions of characters move the plot forward?
-Because her character seemed to be wanting one specific goal, or job, she then put less care on the other jobs that she put less interests on and this continues the plot.
6.What are the conflicts in the plot? Are they physical, intellectual, moral or emotional? Are they resolved? How are they resolved? Is the main conflict between good and evil sharply differentiated, or is it more subtle and complex?
-The conflict was between the author and the receptionist in an intellectual and emotional way. It's a conflict because of the view of races. And they doesn't seemed to be resolved because the receptionist did made an escape of conversation. The conflict could be said that it was in a subtle way because it's quite hard to differentiated them two.
7. What is the climax of the story and at what point in the story does the climax occur?
-The climax seemed to occur during the author's first register to work. The ending seemed to be indeterminate because it doesn't explains much the author's feeling.
8. Does the plot have unity?
-Yes, because the whole plot was actually describing one effect of the story. It incident actually was leading naturally to the next.
9. What use does the story make of chance and coincidence?
-It could be the opportunity and the motivation of the main character. It leads the character to what she seemed to be wanting and maybe because of chance. The occurrence seemed to be initiating her positive thinking. This seemed to be more probable than improbable because it occurs in a real life event.
