Narrative Structure;
Narrative Structure = Story and Plot

The story is the events that happen.

The plot is the order of the story.

1. Beginning
2. Middle
3. End

When you tell a story in order it is called a Linear Narrative.

Non Linear is when you tell a story with a flash back or you mess with the timeline.

Chronological

1. Order        - Equilibrium       - Boy meets girl
2. Disorder   - Disequilibrium  - Boy loses girl                 This is called "3 act structure"
3. Order        - Re equilibrium  - Boy wins girl back
