  Vignette Assignment

Write a 1-3K vignette following the prompt and post in the "Classroom (Assignment Forum) of EWW" as a bitem.

            Prompt

Take your sheet of paper (your screen) and get ready to begin Phase 3.  This is becoming Old Hat.    Number chapters 21 through 30.  You have already completed vignettes for Chapters 1, 2 ,3, 7 and 17 .

Phase 3 will develop the rising action that leads to the climax of your novel.  Give each new chapter a name.  This vignette will be Chapter 27.  This will be about coming down the stretch and bringing the tempo to a boil.  You should now have some idea about how your novel is going to end.  In numbering and naming the final ten chapters you are thinking operationally about how the end of the novel is going to look. 

This last vignette deals with the Tsunami.  Your CC is entering the vortex of the curl of the rising action.  This is that huge final obstacle or crisis the reader has been waiting for.  Show the climax. Show the forces arrayed against the CC.  Show the CC beginning to triumph at last. Show the Whole Shebang finally coming to a head.

            Checklist

Use this checklist to be sure you have included everything.

  Have you named and numbered chapters 21 through 30.
  Is this vignette about Chapter 27?
  Is this where the CC has a clear picture of the forces arrayed against them?
  Is this the vignette leading up to the climax of the story?
  Is this where the CC will at last succeed?
  Is this the phase where the dilemma will be resolved?
  Does the CC show a new and emerging character?
  Does the reader anticipate a resolution to the rising action?
  Does the reader feel a heightening of emotional tension?
  Is the rollercoaster ride climbing to its pinnacle?
