STORY STRUCTURE
The Problem
The problem
might be physical - someone breaks down
the door and points a knife at the someone else; or
someone realises that an enemy army is approaching their house. Or it might be psychological - someone might fear they are about to be put
into a public ‘home’ of some kind, or
may be in despair after failing in some way.
Problem in relation to Love Theme
A mother has been putting off the chat about
the birds and the bees and protection with her daughter, now sixteen. She is acutely embarrassed about it. But the daughter has taken up with a man
rather too old for her, the mother considers, and so advice is now, in her mind, ’urgent’,
especially as her daughter is not nearly worldly enough, the mother fears.
The problem
may, of course, be drawn out. She may
pluck up courage and start the conversation, and then by interrupted or her
daughter may herself be over embarrassed and run away – leaving her vulnerable,
the mother will realise.
How would
you introduce the problem? Have a
‘resolution’ in mind, an end which is ‘right’ but unexpected.
