Fiction- characters, invented people who experience a series of events, called the plot. Characters always face a conflict, or problem, that sets the plot in motion.
It occurs in a time and place, or setting. The setting may be real or imaginary.
Fiction is told, or narrated, from the point of view of a character who may or may not be part of the story.
It includes a theme, a message or an insight about life.
