Q: What are three literary elements?

Q: Protagonist: The main character of a story. The hero if you will. He or she must achieve a goal or save the city or find a treasure. He's the one you're rooting for. A protagonist can be anyone, from a simple farm boy about to enter an intergalactic war against an evil empire, to a simple accounts-receivable manager with strong, muscular legs and firm, shapely buttocks from his years on the competitive hip-hop dancing circuit.

Antagonist: The character who impedes the protagonist. What you would call a villain. He's responsible for putting a series of escalating obstacles in the path of our hero. Normally, the antagonist receives the majority of the boos ad hisses and thrown tomatoes. An antagonist could be, say, a former Jedi Knight who has turned his back on his culture and embraced the dark side, or an uptight and unreasonable company president who requires his employees to wear loose-fitting, drab trousers every day of the week.

Conflict: The basis for all drama. Two opposed forces coming head to head. Only one can win. One must win. Some notable conflicts include the destruction of the Death Star, the savior of Endor, and the creation of a new, more relaxed, company dress code.

As you can see, my resignation letter has all three literary elements. In case you don't understand,  I am the protagonist, you are the antagonist and the company's draconian dress code is the conflict.

Our story has reached a climax. You have two choices: accept my resignation, or agree to my demands and declare Friday Tight Pants Day. You have ten seconds to decide. I'll count slowly so you have plenty of time to consider what has to be the biggest choice of your career.

Oooonnnnnnnnneeee .... Twwwwwooooooooo ... Three-

Oh. Okay. Are you sure you don't want to take the full ten seconds? I'd hate to see you rush into a decision here.

No? You're sure. Okay then.

And you're positive you don't want to reconsider Tight Pants Friday?

All right.

I guess all we have left to discuss is my severance package.

There's no need to call security. I feel perfectly safe. These pants are extremely supportive.

Q: What phase is the moon in when you can see more than one?

A: There's never a phase where you can see more than one moons. There's just the one moon. It reflects sunlight, shines real bright, and we see the reflection. There's only one moon.

How are you seeing two moons?

Oh, I know what's going on.

That  big white circle in the sky there? That's the moon. That other bright shining orb? That's a searchlight. Someone must have tipped off the guards about our escape.

Don't wave at it.
