Critiquing and Revising Imagination Research

Introduction

In the last lesson, we looked at developing memory research into original content. However, the only guidance we had for developing a narrative was that the story needed to have a beginning, a middle, and an end. But as you may well know, there is much more to a story structure than those simple categories. In this lesson, we will delve deeper into building a story structure for a narrative as well as developing characters.

Story Structure and Developing Characters

In Poetics, Aristotle describes the plot as the main part of the story, events that take place over time, or the representation of human action. According to his assessment, a good plot is unified, having a beginning, a middle, and an end, of sufficient length to represent the course of actions. But there is much more to it. This presentation will delve deeper into story structure and will help develop characters.
