Narrative Structure
The structure of this story is to be told in the style of an Enid Blyton
story. The characters are interesting and relate well to my target
audience.
Im able to write and tell this story well as it is based on something
that happened to me and my brother while on holiday in Cornwall.
Ive used the 1950s Golden era of Radio style to tell my story, its an
adventure with a dark, scary element but it has a happy ending.
My story is in a stand alone style and will be told in a linear narrative
with no flashbacks or flashforwards.
