Answer of Question No. 1

Conventional fiction Presents the plot in every conceivable form, from simple serial sequence to multiple sequences, flashbacks, and omitted portions that the readers' imaginations must supply. Sometimes, conventional literature is seen as standard or basic or general or normal literature, or as any literature that does not have a separate category in the publishing world (i.e., detective, mystery, western, etc.).

In a typical boy-meets-girl plot, the action is likely to involve events which prevent the two from meeting or the events which follow the meeting, and the odds are just as good that they will end up as bitter enemies or ex-spouses as that they will end up happily married (or the cultural equivalent). Science fiction There is lots of action, and often there are several plots. (McDonald, 2007) Coincidences and surprises are common. There is often (but not always) a heavy emphasis on suspense, much adventure, many improbable occurrences, flashbacks, and sometimes radically unnatural presentation of the order of events (time travel).

Science fiction plots tend to be the main emphasis of many science fiction stories. And in a boy-meets-girl plots (although somewhat rare), the events often deal with the devices or situations that make the meeting possible: the space ship, the planetary crisis, the unique environment or society, or the technology (or lack thereof). (McDonald, 2007)

Fantasy presents the plot almost always as a natural serial sequence. It is simple, predictable, and often patterned on the schedule of birth, growth, and death. Another frequent pattern is the seasonal cycle of the year, beginning with spring. It may also be patterned on the separation, quest, and reconciliation/salvation archetype. The action is often ritualized or stylized, meaning that a character's actions may be based more on tradition than on personal motivation, such as a young man's going out adventuring, or the heroine always falling in love with the prince despite disguises, deceptions, and distortions. Plot usually is not an important characteristic of fantasy literature because fantasy plots have so few surprises. (Malhotra, 2002)

APA style, or APA format are the terms commonly used to describe the writing style guidelines which are developed, maintained, and periodically revised and updated by the American Psychological Association (APA). The APA's Publication Manual covers all aspects of the writing and publishing process including: organizing, writing, formatting, keying, and submitting a manuscript for publication. It provides detailed guidance on editorial style as well as on the appropriate standards for publishing research in accordance with ethical principles of scientific publishing.
