3. In the Chapter 7 reading, the importance of the drama and conflict are discussed. Anyone can wrote a story but to get the readers to buy the book and continue turning the pages, unfortunate things may have to happen to the protagonist. If there is no drama in the book, there will be no conflict and the characters will never have to struggle. Curiosity keeps readers reading, and without wondering what will happen next, a story becomes more like an uneventful journal entry. The conflict then must be resolved to have events continue to happen throughout the text. There can be many mini struggles inside of a story, but there has to be a main conflict and resolution for a story to be successful.
2.I understand the section on the Arc of the story, but if it is worth mentioning, I think it could be expanded further. Desire and danger whether it be positive or negative is important but I don't understand how it makes one plain arc in the story if it is already part of the plot. With the patterns of power section of the text, it is described that it is important to not let the action be entirely one sided, but rather to have different things balance one another out to help build central conflict.
1. A question for my peers this week is: " What problems did you have cutting out information not important to the individual characters and plot points (or arcs) of the story?" Because our stories have to be a certain length I found myself not enjoying building the character as much as writing the dialogue for the action or drama of the story.
