How is a story laid out?

Answer 1

A story is laid out with a beginning, middle and end. It's sort of like a roller coaster or a mountain - you start out going forward, then things get more and more exciting until you get to the tip-top of the action, then it's all downhill until you hit bottom again.

Answer 2

A story typically has a beginning, where characters and settings are introduced, a middle where the conflict unfolds and rises to a climax, and an end where the conflict is resolved and loose ends are tied up. It often follows a structure that includes exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution.

Answer 3

Set out a story board, beginnig, middle and end. List out all chaarctoers and their traits and set up key points throughout that will influence the route of the story line.
