In literature, a symmetrical plot refers to a type of plot line comprised of equal conflicts and resolutions. A Midsummer Night's Dream by Shakespeare is a common example.
Linear usually refers to the type of narrative (the way a story is told). A linear narrative is one that is told from beginning to end chronologically. Most stories are told in this way because it is the easiest to understand. Examples of linear narrative are too numerous to count. Here instead are some examples of stories that are told using a non-linear structure: The View from Saturday (by E.L. Konigsberg), Wuthering Heights (by Emily Bronte), Slaughterhouse-Five (by Kurt Vonnegut), or anything by Chuck Pahluhniuk. The non-linear narrative is used more often in film because chronology (the time in which a scene is set) is easier to demonstrate in film than in written literature. Examples of non-linear narratives in film include: Citizen Kane, Annie Hall, Pulp Fiction, Mulholland Drive, Memento, and 500 Days of Summer.
1- Linear plot: Straight forward plot. 2- Cicular plot: the plot begins in one point & goes back to the same point in a circle.
It really depends on what you are studying. If 'structure' is used in reference to a particular text e.g. novel, it is how the story is told: sequencing of events (linear/non-linear), 'turning points' in plot. If 'structure' is used in reference to a play, once again it is how the plot unravels (significant events? linear/non-linear narrative? symmetry of plot?), how skilfully the playwright employs tension and light humour, entrances and exits etc. In other words, what dramatic devices are used? Consider dialogue, setting and the interaction between the play and the audience. If 'structure' is used in reference to a poem, then you ned to look at the rhyme scheme to classify the different types of poems. For example, a poem of fourteen lines with rhyme scheme ababcdcdefefgg is a Shakespearean sonnet. Do not forget to link your analysis of 'structure' in your given text to how the work functions as a whole: how significant is the author's way of organising his or her story effective in bringing about the poet's view of a particular theme/atmosphere?
I have seen non fiction books, novels and the rest. Non fiction novel is a category I think you better check.
No, it's not consider as a linear scatter plot, because, it's non-linear.
A linear line is one that is straight with no curves. A non-linear line would not be perfectly straight and can have many curves.
It is a plot with characters and dialog going in more than one direction.
It means if you plot the function it is not on a straight line For example y = 3x + 4 is linear function y = x squared is non linear
A linear plot in literature follows a straightforward chronological sequence of events without any major deviations or flashbacks. It typically progresses from the exposition to rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution in a linear fashion. This type of plot structure is often found in traditional storytelling and is easy for readers to follow.
if you plot corresponding y and x values of points, they will not be a straight line

No, but it is non-linear.
It is to differ between literature and language, prose and poetry, plot story and dialogues, fiction and non-fiction.
