Planning Your Narrative you have to make any story ASAP please
Select one of the four plot archetypes on which to base your narrative
The Initiation
Write a narrative about a character (usually a teenager) who matures and takes responsibility for something in their life. Their moment of awareness and change typically occurs at the climax of the story when they reach a new realization about themselves and are forced to or choose to grow up.
The Journey
Write a narrative about a hero in search for some truth or information necessary to save or restore the world. The hero is forced to discover the darkest truths, quite often concerning their faults. Once the hero is at this lowest point, they are able to use the knowledge gained during the climax to complete their journey.
The Quest
Write a narrative about the search for someone or some item which, when found during the climax and brought back in the falling action, will restore growth and prosperity to a wasted land. This usually involves a group of characters, a hero, and a goal. The only reward is the fulfillment of the quest.
The Task
Write a narrative about a plan to save the kingdom, to win the fair lady, to identify oneself so that he/she may reassume their rightful position, or a hero who must perform some nearly superhuman deed in order to gain something for themselves. The reward at the end of the task is substantial, like treasure or fame.
