What is a Story?
A story is a made-up tale with characters, a setting, a beginning, a middle, and an end.

Characters are who your story is about, and the setting is where it happens.
Beginning, Middle, End
Stories have three parts: a beginning to introduce everything, a middle for problems or adventures, and an end to finish the story.
