Can I have Branliest for the Correct Answer?
Very often things like flashbacks, flash forwards, non-linear narratives, multiple plots and ensemble casts are regarded as optional gimmicks stuck into the conventional three act structure. They're not. Each of the six types I've isolated and their subcategories provides a different take on the same story material.  Suddenly, one idea for a film can give you a multitude of story choices. What do I mean?

More than six ways to turn your idea into a film. Let's imagine that you've read a newspaper article about soldiers contracting a respiratory disease from handling a certain kind of weaponry. You want to write a film about it. Conventional wisdom says create one storyline with one protagonist (a soldier who gets the disease) and follow that protagonist through a three act linear journey.  There's no question that you could make a fine film out of that. But there are several other ways to make a story out of the idea,  and several different messages that you could transmit - by using one of the parallel narrative forms.

<span>Would you like to create a script about a  group of soldiers from the same unit who contract the disease together during one incident, with their relationships disintegrating or improving as they get sicker, dealing with the group dynamic and unfinished emotional business?  That would be a shared team 'adventure', which is a kind of group story, so you would be using what I call </span>Multiple Protagonist<span> form (the form seen in films like Saving Private Ryan or The Full Monty or Little Miss Sunshine, where a group goes on a quest together and we follow the group's adventure, the adventure of each soldier, and the emotional interaction of each soldier with the others). </span>

Alternatively, would you prefer your soldiers not to know each other, instead, to be in different units, or even different parts of the world,  with the action following each soldier into a separate story that shows a different version of the same theme, with  all of the stories running in parallel in the same time frame and making a socio-political comment about war and cannon fodder?  If so, you need what I call tandem narrative,<span> the form of films like Nashville or Traffic. </span>

Alternatively, if you want to tell a series of stories (each about a different soldier) consecutively, one after the other, linking the stories by plot or theme (or both)  at the end, you'll  need what, in my book Screenwriting Updated I called 'Sequential Narrative', but now, to avoid confusion with an approach to conventional three act structure script of the same name, I term Consecutive Stories<span> form, either in its fractured state  (as in Pulp Fiction or Atonement), or in linear form (as in The Circle). </span>

What are some environmentally issues?​
KATRIN_1 [288]

<u>My Answer:</u>

Two environmental issues that I can think of are:

1.) Climate Change.

2.) Air Pollution.

<u>Explanation - Climate Change:</u>

The effects of climate change are widespread, as it will cause issues with deforestation, water supplies, oceans and ecosystems. Each of these have widespread implications of their own, marking climate change as the major environmental issue the planet faces today.

<u>Explanation - Air Pollution:</u>

Air pollution is becoming an increasingly dangerous problem, particularly in heavily-populated cities. The World Health Organization (WHO) has found that 80% of people living in urban areas are exposed to air quality levels deemed unfit by the organization.

It is also directly linked to other environmental issues, such as acid rain and eutrophication. Animals and humans are also at risk of developing a number of health problems due to air pollution.

Think about the major themes of The Call of the Wild, and about how you think the story might end. Write a paragraph in your jou
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Some big themes in The Call of the Wild are civilization vs the wild, follow your instincts, and the value of work.

     I think The Call of the Wild will end with Buck returning to his wolf side and becoming one with the wilderness. This goes along with civilization vs the wilderness because Buck really loves John Thornton but he finds a thrill in doing wild things like killing his own food and exploring. It also goes with following your instincts because Buck wants to go towards the wild call that he hears so often, and which when he does he can connect with his true self.
