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>
The example that uses proper, according to MLA standards, in-text citation is the following:
D. Nutritionist Soon-yu Kim describes whole foods as the "cornerstone of a healthy diet" (23)
MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation; it requires the author's last name and the page number. If the name appears on the sentence itself, then only the page number should be in parentheses at the end of the sentence (this is the reason why A, which provides redundant information as the last name was already present on the sentence, and C, which places the page number close to the author's name, are incorrect).
The first option is: a map of Alexander the Great's route and the site of the sugar cane discovery.
This is because the central idea of the passage is to let the reader know about the context and events that led to Alexander the great know about the sweet reed. And for that reason a map of Alexander the Great's route would help understand the final result mentioned in the passage.
The second option is: a timeline showing when Darius l and Alexander the Great learned of sugar cane.
The passage shows that bacause of the books of Herodotus concerning emperor Darius I, greeks had a piece of knowledge of the sweet reed. And so, a timeline would help the reader visualize the relation between these two periods related to the discovery of sugar cane.
12, you would have 12 half size pie pieces because 1 pie broke in half is 2 half pie pieces therefore if you have 6 pies you cut them all in half and you have 12 half pie pieces.
<u>The following are the correct answers to each question</u>:
<u>Question 1: Option C.</u> The descriptive details reveal the excitement of the crowd.
<u>Question 2: Option A.</u> The passage uses dialogue to show how Mr. Frank feels. His words reveal his desire to protect Anne from reality.
Explanation:
The descriptive details on the paragraph of question 1 allow sensory recreations of the whole experience of a swimming race event. The writer uses the descriptive details to reveal the excitement of the crowd, with phrases such as :"Spectators slid to the front of their chairs; many rose."
The paragraph from question 2 is from "The Diary of a Young girl" and is a dialogue between Anne and her father. The use of a dialogue helps to portrait how Mr. Frank feels about the situation his and his family are living, and how he wants to protect Anne from that reality. He says to her not to worry, that he will take care of everything and how she just must enjoy her carefree life.
