Can I have Branliest for the Correct Answer?
Very often things like flashbacks, flash forwards, non-linear narratives, multiple plots and ensemble casts are regarded as optional gimmicks stuck into the conventional three act structure. They're not. Each of the six types I've isolated and their subcategories provides a different take on the same story material.  Suddenly, one idea for a film can give you a multitude of story choices. What do I mean?

More than six ways to turn your idea into a film. Let's imagine that you've read a newspaper article about soldiers contracting a respiratory disease from handling a certain kind of weaponry. You want to write a film about it. Conventional wisdom says create one storyline with one protagonist (a soldier who gets the disease) and follow that protagonist through a three act linear journey.  There's no question that you could make a fine film out of that. But there are several other ways to make a story out of the idea,  and several different messages that you could transmit - by using one of the parallel narrative forms.

<span>Would you like to create a script about a  group of soldiers from the same unit who contract the disease together during one incident, with their relationships disintegrating or improving as they get sicker, dealing with the group dynamic and unfinished emotional business?  That would be a shared team 'adventure', which is a kind of group story, so you would be using what I call </span>Multiple Protagonist<span> form (the form seen in films like Saving Private Ryan or The Full Monty or Little Miss Sunshine, where a group goes on a quest together and we follow the group's adventure, the adventure of each soldier, and the emotional interaction of each soldier with the others). </span>

Alternatively, would you prefer your soldiers not to know each other, instead, to be in different units, or even different parts of the world,  with the action following each soldier into a separate story that shows a different version of the same theme, with  all of the stories running in parallel in the same time frame and making a socio-political comment about war and cannon fodder?  If so, you need what I call tandem narrative,<span> the form of films like Nashville or Traffic. </span>

Alternatively, if you want to tell a series of stories (each about a different soldier) consecutively, one after the other, linking the stories by plot or theme (or both)  at the end, you'll  need what, in my book Screenwriting Updated I called 'Sequential Narrative', but now, to avoid confusion with an approach to conventional three act structure script of the same name, I term Consecutive Stories<span> form, either in its fractured state  (as in Pulp Fiction or Atonement), or in linear form (as in The Circle). </span>

Which TWO lines in this excerpt suggest the physical union of the lovers?
Anestetic [448]

The correct answers are

[<u>(b.) And in this flea our two bloods mingled be;] </u>

<u>Thou know'st that this cannot be said</u>

and

[(d.) And pampered swells with one blood made of two;

And this, alas, is more than we would do.]


In this poem, the flea clearly symbolizes their love.

In the answer (b.), their bloods are mixed in this flea and this could metaphorically signify mixing their bodily fluids while engaging in intercourse.

In the answer (d.), it is clear that the speaker is denied intercourse with this woman and extends his argument from the sentence (b.) that their bloods mixed in the flee signify their physical union and that, despite what the society might suggest about her loss of virginity, there is nothing shameful about this act.

Papessa [141]
<span>In law, rebuttal is a kind of evidence that is existing to deny or invalidate other indication that has been offered by an opposing party. By similarity the similar term is used in politics and public affairs to mention to the casual process by which declarations, intended to disprove or contradict exact influences put onward by adversaries, are organized in the media. So the answer is D.</span>
