Story Versus Plot

If someone were to ask me what I think the definition of plot and story are I would say that plot is a series of events that show cause and effect, and story is a series of events that show a beginning, middle, and end. So after reading the article of Martin Scorsese breaking down the difference between story and plot I do agree with what he had to say. To be honest I never really thought about what the difference between plot and story are until now, but I did have to think a lot to come to an answer. I definitely agree that story and plot are both equally important and that you can't have one without the other.
