Donnaleah's short story proposal

Exposition:A perfect suburban family, a mom a dad, their sixteen year old daughter(Sarah) and their fourteen year old son(Nathanial)and a dog(sparky).

Inciting incident: One day Sarah comes home early from school with a stomach ache to find her dad with his secretary kissing on the couch.

Rising action: Sarah is faced with the choice to keep the secret or tell her mom and watch her family fall apart.

Climax: Sarah tells her mom about the affair.

Falling Action: Sarah watches her family fall apart as her mom takes her dad to court.

Resolution: The economy fails and her mom loses the case. She ends up living in a motel room with her mom and her brother. She comes to realize that happiness doesn't come from material things like a big house and three cars but from the important things like family.

  1. I really like this story, and I like your theme of showing the importance of family. I was wondering how she is negatively effected by this. and it might be interesting to focus on that part.

  2. I think this story has a interesting and sort of depressing plot. But i feel that it will be a story that its climax will be exciting and fun to read.
