Exposition+Jennifer+and+Chaeri

Exposition:
Therefore, an effective exposition would serve to imply to the history of the subject, character or context, without verbally exposing it.
 * Definition:** The use of authorial discussion to explain or summarize background material rather than revealing this information through gradual narrative detail.

Literary Example:

 * The Lovely Bones:** Before going into the actual story, Alice Sebold introduces the background of Susie and her past. This is delivered through a first person narrative.

Thematic Example:
 ​**Terminator I:** in this film, exposition is an element of the plot that highlights the tension and engrossment of the narration. Rather than the terminator (Schwarxenegger) recounting the past to Sarah Connor, the exposition is applied visually in graphic scenes suggesting the pain and brutality of the future setting. An example of a scene presenting an exposition is when the two are running from danger and an exposition reflecting the past is set into their immediate situation.
