Yesterday in class we had a quick review of what we have learned thus far. We went over the 3 act structure, Maslow’s hierarchy, what is needed in a story such as a minimum of 2 characters, an antagonist a protagonist, conflict and resolution and that we write for an audience amongst other things. But most importantly we learned the 10 story types.

Which are

· Romance (which I learned isn’t between lovers but any personal intimate relationship)

· Success/ Failure ( This makes the characters more believable)

· The Cinderella story (Such as Rocky and Real Steel)

· Conversion ( Which at the beginning of a story starts from a I don’t need to, to I must)

· Sacrifice ( A great example is the story of Christianity)

· Family ( A story directed at families and family gatherings such as stories of holidays and weddings)

· Triangle ( This is romance with a twist such as a third character

· Return ( Such as The Lion King when Simba leaves and returns to claim his thrown)

· Crime & Punishment ( Like the movie Boondock Saints)

· Heroic
