Question

Is a plot the same thing as a summary of the story? If not, what's the difference?

Answer 1

Hint: What happens in a tale is called the plot. A storyline, on the other hand, is not just a series of occurrences. A good plot revolves around a single event—a break in the pattern, a turning point, or an action—that poses a dramatic issue that must be addressed throughout the tale. Plot A is another name for this.

Complete answer:
A story's plot is made up of five basic elements:
i) Exposition- the beginning of the tale
ii) Rising Action- events building up to the story's climax
iii) Climax- the most intense point in the storey, generally where the conflict is resolved
iv) Falling Action- what happens after the climax
v) Resolution- the conclusion of the story

A summary is a brief description of the story's major elements in a few lines. It is described as a rapid or brief summary of what occurred.

Summary	Plot
A novel's summary is a rundown of the major events that occurred. It is a condensed or abstract portrayal of the content of a body of material.	The plot of a tale is made up of a series of events that are progressively revealed, often via unexpected ways.
The plot of the story is summarised in the summary.	However, the plot of a story cannot contain its summary.
Example: The Three Little Pigs summaryThe Three Little Pigs is a children's story about three pigs that construct three dwellings out of various materials. The first two pigs' dwellings, constructed of straw and sticks, are blown down by a huge evil wolf, but the third pig's house, made of bricks, remains unaffected.	Example: The plot of a narrative includes the following elements: Setting– the location of the story. The characters are generally faced with a dilemma that they must solve. The things the characters do while they try to solve the problem are called actions. The way the problem is solved and what happens in the end is referred to as resolution.

Note: The exposition is where the tale begins. The characters, place, and inciting incident of the narrative are all introduced here. The rising action is the sequence of events that follows. This is where the plot unfolds. The climax, which is the story's turning point and generally the most dramatic portion, follows the increasing action. The declining action occurs between the peak and the resolve.
