Answer:
The word “Rastafarianism” often calls to mind

Plot
is a narrative account; it is constructed and composed. The author of a story
has in his mind, a simple narrative account but he does things with it. He may
rearrange the events in time; he may tell the end first and then relate how
events led up to it, he may be biased in favour of or against some of the characters
and overplay or underplay certain facts to reinforce his stand. A plot is what
an author does to the simple narrative account to make it a story, to give a
meaning, a purpose.
