Task Two: Types of structure There are opposites of different structures: Open & closed conclusions in a story determine

whether or not the story reaches a conclusion or not. My story as I did it in two parts & I only produced the first part; my story does not reach a conclusion so it has an open structure. The second part would make the story have a closed structure overall. An example of a closed conclusion would actually be the original story of Little Red Riding Hood as there is no cliffhanger & includes a definitive ending. Single & multi-strand determines whether the story overall has one storyline or includes different storylines. My story includes one storyline of Red going to see her Grandma as we do not follow the story of other characters e.g. such as Jack (the lumberjack). My story is single stranded due to this. TV shows like Eastenders & Coronation Street are examples of multi-stranded storylines. Linear & non-linear determines how you follow the story/how it is told. A linear story, which is what my graphic novel is, follows a strict path with a start, middle & end. The events happen in an order. A non-linear story does not follow a strict path from start to finish, it includes structural differences e.g. flashbacks & flashforwards. My story does not include things such as flashbacks or flashforwards. An example of a non-linear storyline would be How I Met Your Mother. Realist & anti-realist then determine whether or not a story is believable or not. My story is anti-realist, so it is not believable for a number of reasons e.g. the wolf character in my story talks which is not realistic. Even though the overall story is anti-realist, the gender roles show a kind of realist sense to my story. My story would not happen in real life. A lot of fairytales are anti-realist. An example of a realist story would be The Fault In Our Stars by John Green.
