The concept in telecommunications
For telecommunications , a frame consists of an information transmission unit or module .
This concept is similar and equivalent to the idea of data packet in the data binding degree of the OSI model . It is composed of a header (which includes protocol control fields), data (what is to be transmitted at a higher communication level) and a queue (where error checking is established).
The plot in literature
Another use of the term refers to the inner arrangement and connection between the parts of a given matter. It is used, for example, in the field of literature , theater or cinema, to name the plot, theme or argument of a composition or work .
For example: "I didn't like the film because I didn't understand the plot," "It is a book with a very complex plot that must be read carefully," "The filmmaker was accused of plagiarism due to the similarities between the plot of his last film." and a German film from the '70s .
Aristotle's analysis
As expressed by Aristotle in his " Unified Plot Theory ", the concept refers to the fundamental principle of tragedy or, in other words, the imitation of action . Expresses that in this text the different parts that make up the development of a story must be recorded; Furthermore, its fundamental elements must be named, establishing the connection that exists between them. In this way, the cancellation of any of these elements would mean the end of coherence in history, since each and every one is essential.
Based on this theory, in narratology a story is known as a plot in which the events that take place in a work are detailed (not always chronologically) to be presented to a certain audience. It seeks to show and relate the various elements that appear in the work, without detailing them in detail.
Parts of the plot
The plot is divided into several parts, they are: introduction (the space in which the story will develop is revealed, the characters in it and the point that triggers the conflict), development or knot (in this phase the story reaches its greatest tension, generating a supreme degree of expectations in the reader ) and outcome (the tension dissipates when the conflict is resolved). These parts are found in all narratives, sometimes they are arranged in a disorderly manner, but it is essential that they appear.
Depending on the type of information they present, plots can be: descriptive (the characteristics of a setting, object, characters or events are shown in detail), argumentative (events are presented based on a hypothesis and an attempt is made, through confrontation, reaching a resolution), narrative (the facts are presented in an orderly manner and cause-effect relationships are established between the various elements of the story) and conversational (the development of the linguistic exchange that takes place in a situation specific communicative).
Having said all this, it only remains to add that every good story must have a careful and adequately developed plot for the audience to which it is directed ; The good writer is one who knows how to find the ideal words and vehicle to give life to what he or she wants to share.
