Character Development + Plot

Character Development

Character development is how an author invents and creates a new character to it’s story. The way he/she makes in in their own hands, there is no rules as to why a character needs to be that way but but does have some steps as to what are some traits that you need to invent, for example:
best friends, ambition, talent, secrets, etc... Once you fill in these requirements wit the things that come out of your mind, you have created a character. For the creation of one single character is it necessary to create more characters separately but along with it. One of the characters would be their best friends, worst enemy (antagonist) and all the character that are involved on the solving of the problem in the story. The author uses the traits that he invents for the development of the story itself ad to create an opinion within the reader. The author creates the character depending on their traits and personalities (hateful, joyful, villan, hero, etc...)Some of the traits of this certain problem would be things that will create curiosity which can leads to actions in the story, or action which can also create actions in the story. So, the development of a character does not only develop the character itself but also the story, the reader’s opinion and the other characters within the story. 
Plot 

The plot is a very important element when writing a story. The plot includes all of the elements of a story (setting, exposition, conflict, rising actions, climax, falling actions, and resolutions). The plot is mostly the setting but it also carries our the characters their moods, and everything they do in the story. The author uses plot to create the mood within the story, the plot creates opinion in the reader by making him/her think (why are the things the way they are?) so by creating the opinion the reader can be hooked into the story or not depending on personal tastes in literature. It is very important to build this types of opinion for the reader to have something to search for and something to attached to apart from the character and the conflict by themselves. these two need a plot to be placed into a proper setting and mood inside a story. the author also uses the normal elements of a story to create inferences inside the reader’s mind. The exposition shows the beginning and the details you need yo know to orient yourself. The rising actions are the ones who make the actions lead to the solution of the problem. The climax is the MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE STORY. The falling action take the story to the end while getting it away from the climax (solutions to conflicts). All of these are used by the author to make a good and qualified story.
