The first shock that I received had nothing to do with the stone ; figures I had come to see. It was the sight of the island itself that. filled me with astonishment. It was so barren: there were no trees, and it was apparent that scarcely any ground was good enough to support crops. Yet nobody looked hungry or unhappy. The second shock left me in a state of wonder. Many people have indeed seen photographs of the enormous stone figures, but the pictures show single statues or groups of only three or-four. What I now discovered was that there are hundreds; they are all over the island. ‘he greatest concentration of the figures is near the eastern tip. Here lies the quarry from which the stone was taken.
The stone figures
The size of the statues
The island itself
the quarry
A barren island could produce so many statues
Nobody looked unhappy or hungry
The oil was fertile, but no crops were grown
There was a stone quarry
many statues were spread allover the island
There were only single or small groups of statues
All statues were near the eastern tip of the island
the photographs gave clear idea about the stuatues
He was baffled
He was delighted
He was diappointed
He was amazed
the place where the statues were made
the hunted animal
the place from where the stone was dug out
a track
Let us define a plot. We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The kind died and the queen died” is a story.” “The king. died and the queen died of grief,” is a plot. The time-sequence Is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it. Or again: “The queen died, no one knew why, until it was discovered that it was through grief at the death of the king.” This is a plot with a mystery in it, a form capable of high development. It suspends the time-sequence, it moves as far away & from the story as its limitations will allow. Consider the death of: the queen. If it is a story we say, “and then?” If it is a plot we ask’ why?” That is a fundamental difference between these two, aspects of the novel.
