Today's Terms

Choose a couple of terms from today's assignment. Compare/contrast. How are they connected and distinct?

Background and Foreground are two terms that I feel coincide with one another. Background is the characters or settings that aren't necessarily claiming all of the attention and are not taking a place as a main character. Foreground are the explicit characters that seems to be running the story. Both help the reader to understand the story and sometimes the writer might even use background characters to show the moments or tidbits of information that go unseen but should be searched for.
