Story Arc - Point 18 & 19

  • All of the five family members, start fighting (sister, twin brothers, baby, mum and dad.)
  • The children go to school, glad to be away from family, pretend they don't know each other at school. Due to different friendship groups.
  • Girl is a slut and the twins are bad asses!
  • Twins messing around, doing funny things and accidentally set fire to the school, due to their joint. don't care they find it funny.
  • Meanwhile the girl is in a cupboard with a guy and they smell smoke luckily they escape. and she goes mental at the twins.
  • Mum and baby, win a free holiday all inclusive for a week for all of family in Benidorm. Whilst the mum is working in the supper market. Later on that night tells family she has one a holiday
  • no one wants to go because they don't like each other, but then decide to go because flight leaves the next day and parents know rent is due and they do not have the money.
  • During the holiday the family get closer together, have a great time and become close. Comical things happen then.
  • When they get back they see that the land lord has put an evicted letter on the door. If they don't pay money by the end of the week they will be kicked out.
  • Family starts to argue again cause parents didn't tell them, then kids take jobs as well as parents to help pay.
  • on the last day when the money is due they still do not have enough. But mum buys a scratch card they win £1000000, and they pay of the rent.
End of story.

this is an example of Todorovs theory as we have the typical narrative structure. We have out climaxes and problems but by the end everything has been resolved.
We also use  elements of Propps theory during the fire scene. The sister is the damsel in distress because she is trapped by the fire, twins are the villains because they are the ones who start fire, the hero's are the firemen, who put out the fire.
We also use elements of Strauss by using binary opposites.
 Rich/ Poor, Happy / sad, funny/ serious, light/ dark.
