This article will go over some quick and basic grammar tips that anyone can hopefully understand.

Story elements are things any story has to have, like plot, characters, a beginning, a conflict, a climax, and an ending. Literary devices are tools that stories use, like allusion, flashbacks, or foreshadowing. Not all stories have to have a flashback, but your story might need it to convey something to the reader in the best way.

Story elements can also be considered literary devices when we use them as tools in our storytelling. For example, all stories have settings, but great stories use setting in creative ways to further enhance their storytelling.

Nonparallel Example: She enjoys reading, hiking, and to swim.

This nonparallel writing example sounds clunky because the third verb doesn't match the same verb structure that the rest of the verbs are using.

Parallel Example: She enjoys reading, hiking, and swimming.

Doesn't that sound more natural? That's because this writing example uses parallel structure when it gives all the verbs in the sentence the same form. 

So the next time you feel like your writing sounds a little clunky, think about the structure of each sentence and word and if they match or not.

Story elements are the foundational features, parts, or building blocks of any story. They are the elements that all stories need in order to be a complete and full story.

Story elements can also sometimes be referred to as literary elements, narrative elements, or literary devices. But I personally believe that literary elements and literary devices are two separate things.

A story element is something a story has to have while a literary device is a specific literary tool an author chooses to use.

Story elements can also be literary devices when they are used consciously as a tool to help further tell their story. But they are also two separate things that I would like to distinguish between today.
