2. Typical elements in a narrative structure
Reverse engineering; take something apart, see how it works and copy it. This is exactly what Syd Field did. What did all great scripts have in common? What made them work, where others failed? The answer is 'great structure'. I am going to go in details what some of these elements are.

The Sergeant who has fought on his side harps about Macbeth’s valour in war, "But all’s too weak | For brave Macbeth – well he deserves that name"(Act I, scene II).

Blakes The Chimney Sweeper
Number of words: 642 - Number of pages: 3.... felt and how they were deprived of their childhood.
Blake also uses symbolism to express the evils of exploiting these small boys. Most of this symbolism appears to be about death. This gives the poem a dark mood. For example, Blake writes “So your chimneys I sweep, and in soot I sleep” (554). Most of the boys who were sold into chimney sweeping died very young because the soot inhalation destroyed their lungs. In this quote sleeping in soot symbolizes dying in soot, or from the soot. Blake also symbolizes these boys’ fate with the lines “That thousands of sweepers .....

The Crying Of Lot 49
Number of words: 384 - Number of pages: 2.... what he has done, he blinds himself and becomes a wandering beggar.
Sigmund Freud took the legend of Oedipus as a metaphor for the wish of every small boy to get his father out of the way so he could have his mother all to himself. Most men resolve this dilemma by the time they reach adulthood; some do not, and are therefore unable to cope with the stresses of adult life. Men do not want to recognize this tendency in themselves, but -- like Oedipus -- once they are aware of this, it intrudes itself on their consciousness at every move, until they begin to doubt their own sanity. This is very .....

Active Intellect In Aristotle,
Number of words: 1054 - Number of pages: 4.... of essence and existence, it naturally follows that we grasp the universal through our encounter with the particular. What follows is a series of events which leads to knowledge.
The passive intellect receives the image from the sense data and it is stamped upon the passive intellect from the material impression. From this stamp the active intellect is to draw out of it and somehow make a universal concept from this particular experience. But there is something more at work here. There is something in the mind ( more specifically in the soul) that

Study Skills
Number of words: 461 - Number of pages: 2.... to get my work done. There are too many distractions and it is impossible to get my work done with friends coming in and out of my room. I realized that I needed to go to the library where it is quiet and there are no distractions. I get much more of my work done now that I actually go to the library and concentrate.
I am glad that we covered the subject of giving oral presentations. This is a skill that is difficult for almost any one to master. During our years here at Bentley College we will need to give many presentations. We will also continue to use this skill in the work force .....

Number of words: 1118 - Number of pages: 5.... a torrent of such inquiries, she threw a candlestick at Joe, burst into a loud sobbing, got out the dustpan -- which was always a very bad sign -- put on her coarse apron, and began cleaning up to a terrible extent. Not satisfied with a dry cleaning, she took to a pail and scrubbing-brush, and cleaned us out of house and home,..."
