  • Black Ships Before Troy
    4/11/2020 StudySync - Model - Story Structure - Black Ships Before Troy Story Structure - Black Ships Before Troy Model Identification and Application: Analyze how a particular scene, chapter, or even a sentence contributes to the development of the plot, adding humor, tension, or suspense. How do specific events, dialogue, or descriptions help to create those effects? Try to identify the basic parts of the story structure: beginning (introduction of a problem), middle (development of the conflict, leading to a climax), and ending (resolution of the conflict). Think about how the author controls the order of events. Are the events presented in chronological order? Does time pass in between? Are flashbacks used? Model: Every good story has a beginning, middle, and end. But how do these parts relate to the whole? First, authors carefully choose words and construct sentences to convey meaning to the reader through plot and character development. As they write, authors also consider how to structure, or organize, what they have written so the story unfolds in a way that will hold the reader’s interest. Most stories are organized into chapters, and key sentences within those chapters provide clues about the development of the plot. The structure is important for understanding the story’s theme, setting, characters, and plot. In the chapter “The Golden Apple,” from Rosemary Sutcliff’s Black Ships Before Troy, the first paragraph brings readers directly into the time and place of the story. In the high and far-off days when men were heroes and walked with the gods, Peleus, king of the Myrmidons, took for his wife a sea nymph called Thetis, Thetis of the Silver Feet.
