I. Exposition: The character in my story is myself and how I grew to fear the ocean. Not only how I grew to fear it but also how I figured out why it is important.
- Alan(Myself), Miguel(Brother) pushy brother, other family members
- Setting: Mexican beaches and home
- Situation: Alan is a Thalassophobiac
II. Inciting incident: The earliest memory I have that could have possibly caused this is when I first saw the movie “Jaws”. I was about 5 years old and I remember walking into a room that was playing the movie. Little did I know that I would see a shark on the screen eating a person.
III. Rising Action: 2-3 events that build towards the main conflict:
- Going to Rocky Point and riding the banana boat
- Seeing a Shark for the first time in real life.
- Watching Shark annually
IV. Climax: Realizing the earth/ocean is in danger and that sharks which are an endangered animals, are needed to help the earth/ocean survive.
V. Falling Action 1-3 events that decrease conflict
- Watching more informative videos on sharks instead of just the bad stuff and movies
- Learning that the ocean is a wildlife area that is not to be messed with and informing others
VI. Resolution: Telling others around me the importance the ocean has to our ecosystem, and why action is needed now to prevent further damage.
VII. Argument: The ocean is not to be messed with and to not believe everything that the news tells us. Encouraging others not to damage the ocean, but remain cautious when in it.
VIII. Main Conflict: Man v Nature
