All stories must have a beginning, middle and end. With out a set guidlines as to how the stories are set up, they wouldn't be stories but mere messes of words, scrambled together in a jumble not even a rocket scientist can understand. They also must be in chronical logical order, so the listeners or readers can follow through.
My last post, I shall use for an example:
Whenever my friends go to tell me a story, I first ask where it is happening and when if they can remember and who each of the persons they mention are, so I have some slight background. I don’t necessarily need the theme due to this aspect because I have the ability to sense the theme as well as pick up some key plot traits.
I first start off with the intro, to get the readers attention and to tell the reader or listener I am starting my story. I first start off explaing how I have my friends tell me their stories and I follow through until I explain how I can relate to their stories and pick up what they are trying to say.
So, my friends first explain where they were at as well as who is involved. This gives me a better understanding of what’s happening and it leads to clues as to the plot and setting, in my preference. Each of us is to our own as to what we think is the most important element contained in the story.
I again state from the first paragraph, my friends and how they tell the story while listing as to why and how I relate to them and why its imporant.
But understanding characters and setting can give away, in some sense, the theme and plot of what is going on as more information about when, where, and who are given in the story.
I finally conclude and wrap everything up and stay within topic and chronological order.
