To name your story, you have to think about the overall message and what you want your audience to understand from the story. Also, make it relevant and easy to remember.
The ending of a story is essential. We all know that if the ending is weak, what happened before loses its importance. So make it unpredictable, but fair. A resolved ending answers all the questions and ties up any loose threads from the plot.
CHCl3 Chloroform
CH3-Cl Methyl chloride
CH2-CH-CH2 | | | Cl Cl Br 3-bromo-1,2-dichloropropane
CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3-Br BUtyl bromide
This is the closure section of the story.
See examples of possible outcomes below:
Try answering these questions to come up with a closure:
- Have all the problems been solved?
- Is there a clear picture of what happens with each character in the story?
- Has the challenge transformed your main character?
- How do the characters feel in the end?
The middle of the story is where you add layers of complications that will lead to the end. Reveal more about the character's journey. Did their personality go through changes? How did they overcome the challenges? And as you build up the story’s central conflict, make it more personal to that character. Also, from the middle act, you have to lead into the final act.
Your character(s) need(s) motivation in order to solve the challenge(s).
Secondary characters also might have motivs beacuse of which they may cross path with main character or which might trigger them to help the main character.
CH3-CH2-CO-NH2 Propionamide
CH3-CH2-CH2-CO-NH2 Butanoamide
Secondary characters might also have motives that lead them to cross paths with the main character or which might trigger them to help the main character.
Amino group (-NH2) replaces -OH (R-C-NH2, R-CO-NH3) | O
Each story has a main character and that character usually needs to solve a problem or challenge. The character's challenge is the one that creates tension throughout the story.
CH3-CH2-NH-CH3 Ethylmethylamine
CH3-NH-CH3 Dimethylamine
In most stories, there are 3 challenges. The number 3 is a mystical number symbolizing completeness. Try to come up with interesting challenges with which your character needs to struggle.
See a few examples below:
R-N-H, R-N-R', R-N-R' | | | H H R''
In the beginning of the story (or the exposition), you will need to introduce the setting and characters. You might also want to introduce the main conflict. This part of the story is important because it gives the reader necessary background information and maybe even a first insight into a character’s personality.
CH3-CH2-CH2-COO-CH2-CH3 Ethyl butyrate
CH3-COO-(CH2)7-CH3 Octyl acetate
Combination of carboxyl and hydroxyl (R-COO-R, R-C-O-R) || O
Common name
CH3(CH2)8COOH Capric acid
CH3-CH2-CH2-COOH Butyric acid
CH3(CH2)8COOH Decanoic acid
CH3-CH2-CH2-COOH Butanoic acid
Carboxyl (R-C=O, R-COOH, R-CO2H) | OH
The setting (time & place) of a story can change throughout the plot.
CH3-CH-CH3 || O Propanone Dimethyl ketone
CH2=O Methanal Formaldehyde
The time of the story can also change. It can describe the event of a single day or can include an entire year's plot. Anyway, don't forget to mention it.
Carbonyl (R-C=O)
. CH3 | H3C-C-O-CH3 | CH3 Tertbutyl methyl ether
CH3-O-CH2-CH3 ethyl methyl ether
R-O-R
Characters are essential to a good story. Usually, the protagonist(s) is/are the most affected by the plot. Introduce a character by focusing on their actions, interests, and occupation, as the physical appearance doesn't make a difference in most cases.
