    Looking at this reading on elements of good storytelling, the writer informs on 7 crucial parts in every good story. Starting with the premise, this gives the story a base, in which the characters are able to evolve from. In a good story, you need a main setting as well, where all events take place and gives reason to the story. Within the context of this story, you need both a protagonist and antagonist character, who are the main fighting force in the story. They add to the conflict, which is the rising part of the story, connected by arches, leading to a final resolution.
