Finally, Peaceful

Authors Note:  This should be graded as the 2^nd option on Text Structure.

Many things happen in the novels I read. Every book is different; it creates a new image and a new story inside your head. Each piece of writing has a climax and a resolution, and it my book that I’m currently reading, Sarah Bishop goes through major rising and falling actions, but the things that stand out the most in the story is the Climax and Resolution.  In my story Sarah Bishop by Scott O’Dell she goes though many things through her life but as every story has, it has a plot line, where each event that happens goes into each section.

Sarah Bishop started the novel like any other girl, living with her dad and brother just trying to get by in life while living through the revolutionary war. Her brother, David Bishop, decides he wants to go into the war as a Patriot.  She knows that her neighbors don’t agree with her father’s perspectives on the war, being for the king, but what she doesn’t expect is that they will act out angrily on their opinions. The people against the king, which is not Sarah Bishop, come to her house and start burning it down, her father dies along with their home.  When Sarah Bishop has nowhere to go she goes all the way to Ridge ford after hearing that her brother had died as well from being captured and became prisoner by the Hessians.  With nothing left she borrows a musket, some survival materials and head to Long Pond to find shelter in the Wilderness.  Not only does someone find her, in the end of the story she goes to trial after being accused of witch craft, and ends up living in a tavern in Ridge Ford.

      The climax of the story would be her journey to get to long pond, from hearing that her brother is dead, to running away from the British, to finally finding long pond in the woods. I know that’s the climax because then the falling action occurs. The falling action would be when Sarah is living at Long Pond in a cave for about a year and her just acting like an everyday wilderness liver. The resolution, in my opinion, would be Sarah going back into Ridge Ford, going to trial, and finally at piece with where she is at, not having to worry about anything.

       A Consequence of the climax would be Sarah running away from her home town. It would be a consequence because even though it is not safe there, it is also her birth place, the place where she knows exactly how to get to the farm fields, the taverns, and the market. Now, as she was traveling, she had no idea where she was going. In my story Sarah Bishop, things get resolved in the end. She finds a new safe home where she doesn’t have to worry about the war around her. She finally realizes that she no longer as to run away from reality or her past, ever again.
