Weaving a good tale

Liz 11: I
Mystery, intrigue, a sense of wonder all pop up in this the best chapter of the book. Simmons states that "recipes and formulas only take you only to places already mapped". The adventure of a story is undeniable especially when the author takes a risk in breaking some rules. Bella a beautiful true story (new movie) about a cook, a waitress and a child & a day that changed their lives is a case in point. Like the author Tim O'Brien in The Things They Carried The storytellers here jump in a non linear fashion but by the end of the story a revelation of a completed story occurs. The director of Bella said that he went to FLA film school to learn all the rules to break. The editor took an element that would have fit in the introduction of the movie as the inciting incidence and placed it near the end almost book ended with the critical turning point. Simmons would probably applaud.
