2/6/12 External and Internal/ 3 Act Structure

In class we learned about the pressure about the external and internal in the characters that’s in a story. Like having a broken leg will be considered external because it is something you can see and feel on the outside. The thought of something like a broken is consider internal because you will always be thinking about “what if” it happens and when is it going to happen. We talk about anything that’s internal is worst because it’s something dealing with yourself and you are your biggest antagonist. With I can agree with because just the thought of the broken leg is painful enough. It is the unknown and the infinite possibilities. All conflict is a struggle of power with the “IF ONLY” and the “What IF”. We also learn about the 3 act structure and the way it like it kind of looks like a bass ball diamond. Its start with the hook and introduction with the pros and cons. It’s also with the back story of the conflict of the characters. First the act break this is when life gets bad for the characters. The Second is where it gets worse for the character because they have the face the internal conflict before moving on. And third is where they face the external before they reach the end. And lastly the resolution is what come quick and it the last change to sell the massage. That’s 3 act structures.
