Answer:
THE IMPORTANCE OF BEGINNING, MIDDLE, AND END
The thing (story) should have plot and character, beginning, middle and end. Arouse pity and then have a catharsis. Those were the best principles I was ever taught. --Ann Rice
Beginning, middle, end is easily defined as the 3 parts that make up a story. Let’s face it, you can’t have a story if you don’t have a beginning, middle, and end. There are many other elements that must be included in the beginning, middle, and end, and when they are all put together you have a complete story.
If you have purchased or downloaded any of my products and it includes a BME (Beginning, Middle, End) portion then you will see this on the directions page.
Identifying the most important event from the beginning, middle and end of the story helps a reader understand how organization, sequence, and plot make a good story. This can then be applied to their own writing.
Let’s start by looking at each piece individually.
The beginning – it is the first part of the story. It is where the writer captures the reader’s attention, either with a great opening line, a detailed description of the character or setting, or a glimpse into the topic, problem, or theme of the story. The beginning will also set the mood for the reader; will it be happy and exciting, dark and mysterious, or silly and entertaining? A good beginning makes you want to read more.
The middle – it is where the bulk of the story rests. It explains the topic, gives important key details, and holds the reader’s attention, but most importantly it is where we reach the climax or turning point of the story. If the middle is good, it will start the reader thinking about how the story is going to end.
The end – this is where the story comes to a close, it is the conclusion and solution to the problem. It is where the character learns a lesson or comes to terms with the events of what happened. A good ending will keep the reader thinking about the story, long after it is finished. A great ending leaves the reader feeling satisfied.
In picture books, it is important to look at the illustrations. They can tell us as much as the text and can also help us focus in on what is important.
We refer to the beginning, middle and end of the story all the time.
We describe character and character change from the beginning, middle, and end of the story.
When we sequence the story, we look at the beginning, middle, and end of the story.
When talking about plot, we look at the events from the beginning, middle, and end of the story.
When we look at important events from the story, we pick one from each the beginning, middle and end of the story.
Problem and solution relies on events from the beginning, middle and end. What is the problem? How do you know it is a problem? How was it solved? How do you know it was solved? All from the BME.
We summarize by looking at events from the whole story, the beginning, middle and end.
When I teach BME, I like for the students to focus on what they think is the most important event from each section. For example:
The most important event from the beginning of the story is usually some sort of description or action from the character.
The most important event from the middle of the story is usually the problem, or climax in the story.
The most important event from the end of the story is usually the solution, the message, or how the character feels about how the problem was solved.
