Character development: The structure of a story can influence how characters are developed and portrayed.

make this like a 8th grader wrote it

The way a story is set up can totally change how the characters grow and act. Like, if you have a story where everything happens really fast, the characters might not have as much time to change and show their true selves. But if the story is slow and detailed, you can really see how the characters develop over time. So, pay attention to how the story is structured to understand the characters better.
