This Chapter tells a lot about the fundamentals about story telling and what it takes to write a good story., The Core, the planning and the type. What I found the most interesting was the "Hero's journey" That is the core to many different types of stories that are told though out the world. Even though it is not one of my favorites, mine is when the protagonist dies at the end, it is a fan favorite. It was also interesting to hear that a story core can have different affects on people when they hear the story. Story mapping is very important also because it allows the core to be expanded and you can see the story in a visual manner. Also it allows the story to stay on track and not wander off. One of the guidelines that was mentioned at the beginning of the chapter. With story mapping, you can see the correct parts of the story to apply tension, suspense, the transformation of the "hero" and then the climax whether good or bad. "When teachers use story mapping with their students, an amazing thing happens: students talk about their stories rather than their technology. And because story mapping happens at the very beginning of the process, using pencil and paper, students aren't distracted by technology as they develop their stories" (Ohler Pg. 85). This is an amazing reason why children should use mapping, it allows stories to stay on target and allow them to keep it all confined within one story.
one of my Favorite Anime Shows, Cowboy Bebop, Spike "The Hero", dies after killing the "bad guy". =(
