4. Literary elements
The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde uses the literary element of Exposition. Exposition is the part of the story, usually near the beginning, which introduces the characters, the background, and the setting. Exposition takes place during chapter one and the beginning of chapter two. Exposition is used to introduce the reader to the story, so that halfway through the story a new character does not pop up out of the blue and make the reader wonder who that character is.

I don't think you're supposed to define your Literary Element. That's why we have the green sheets :). I think you should find a specific part in the book that IS an exposition like a sentence or a paragraph.
