This section builds the tension – keeps the reader absorbed and guessing where it will all lead. Keeping up the momentum (plot development or rising action) If it is about a robbery, it might be the event that makes a character consider carrying out a robbery and if it is about an accident, it will be the event that causes it to happen. If the story is about a day out at the zoo, then maybe an animal has escaped. The fiction trigger can be an event that really starts the story. There is a problem that has to be faced and overcome. From this point, life cannot be quite the same for your main character (that is your protagonist). This helps make the reader feel that the story has really started. Use your narrator to tell of an incident or event that the reader feels will spark a chain of events. At this stage, you need to 'set up' the story and begin to introduce the main character(s). It can sometimes help to use a familiar place that your reader can relate to in some way. This can also be used to help develop a suitable mood or atmosphere. SettingĮstablish the time and place, as well as the general situation. The 'plot hook' in this example is 'What could possibly go wrong?'. What could possibly go wrong? That day any thoughts of problems weren’t even a distant cloud on the horizon of my sunny mind. They knew just how much I loved animals and the chimps there were always my favourites. You can imagine I was feeling that life couldn’t get much better than this: warm weather, holidays, a bar of chocolate all to myself, a bunch of texts from my mates to answer, and being driven with mum and dad to Twycross Zoo. It was a brilliant summer’s day smack in the middle of the school holidays. Whether you choose to start the story by giving the end away just like Shakespeare did in his play Romeo and Juliet or you start in the middle of lots of action or even with very little action at all, you will definitely need to start in a way that hooks your reader – and do so pretty quickly. You should aim to hook the reader into the story with the 'plot hook'. This part of your story must work to engage your reader, beginning to absorb them into your 'story-world'. Here is a typical story structure that will help you to keep your own story moving through different stages in a compelling way – and help make sure you don’t accidentally ramble on! Opening Like all texts, stories also have their own basic 'recipe' called 'genre conventions'. The most important thing is that you choose a story you can write well, showing off your skill in using language effectively and keeping your reader entertained.Ī short story needs to be compelling to read and to be this it needs to be given an effective structure.
#Things to write about in a story tv
You could write a story about a political party, or a doll’s tea party, or a party held by fans to watch the final episode of a TV show everyone is very excited about, or a party that didn’t actually happen because no one turned up.
So this means that for the title ‘The Party’, you could write a lovely descriptive piece about your dream birthday party, or a personal account of a party you attended that was very good – or very bad.
