Does Each Element of Your Story Further The Theme?

Written by Nick Vernon


Continued from page 1

Characterization

I will show my character is arrogant byrepparttar way I describe him and from how other characters see him.

Motivations

I will explain what makes him think he is better than everyone else.

Goal

I will state his goal and show how it arises fromrepparttar 128848 fact that he believes himself better than everyone else.

Setting

The setting is going to be in an office environment. I can show his arrogance throughrepparttar 128849 setting by perhaps describingrepparttar 128850 contents of his desk (trophies) and his desk area in general (diplomas onrepparttar 128851 walls.) etc.

Conflict

The conflict will come from himself. He isrepparttar 128852 one that creates it by doing and saying things, which create dislike.

Climax

The climax isrepparttar 128853 highest point in my story whererepparttar 128854 conflict and his arrogance will come to their peak. Here we will see how he tries to overcomerepparttar 128855 conflict and reach his goal by taking on more work.

Ending

I will end my story with my character’s humiliation. He takes on more work and makes an error in judgement. Which not only prevents his promotion but also gets him fired.

My theme here would have run its course.

Is The Theme Running Throughout The Story?

Written by Nick Vernon


Continued from page 1

Like in scenario one, this incident might span over a couple of days or a week, where inrepparttar second scenario, it spans over a number of years. The shorterrepparttar 128846 time spanrepparttar 128847 more intenserepparttar 128848 story.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Your theme should begin atrepparttar 128849 beginning, run throughrepparttar 128850 middle and conclude inrepparttar 128851 end. So let’s put a theme torepparttar 128852 first scenario…

‘Strength Comes From Within And In The End Prevails.’

How can I have this theme running throughout my story?

Initially I will portray my main character as a weak individual. But I will excuse his weakness, by saying perhaps that…

“He comes from a closely knit, loving family and initially doesn’t know how to deal with such a conflict.”

As my story progresses, I will gradually show his inner strength and I will do this through incidences, which will show his maturity, like…

•He helps out by caring for his younger siblings and contributes withrepparttar 128853 housework.

And

•I can show him cuttingrepparttar 128854 neighbours’ lawns or delivering newspapers before school to show that he contributes economically too.

If I do this, my ending (when he wins againstrepparttar 128855 bully) will be believable because I have developed his inner strength. My theme would have run its course.

Is your theme running throughoutrepparttar 128856 story?
