Plot

Hi my name is Stefanie I am 23 years old and I am from Switzerland.

I found my word in an article of the New York Times. The title is:

Shaky Pakistan Is Seen as a Target of Plots by Al Qaeda

The word I want to explain to you guys is:

Plot (n)

1. a secret plan or scheme to accomplish some purpose, esp. a hostile, unlawful, or evil purpose: a plot to overthrow the government.

2. Also called storyline. the plan, scheme, or main story of a literary or dramatic work, as a play, novel, or short story.

3. a small piece or area of ground: a garden plot; burial plot.

The article uses the first meaning of the word.

I wish you all a nice day.

Stefanie
