Structure by Brianna Hungerford

Structure:

In a novel, the structure is also very important. Structure is the way a story is organized and written in order to make it seem like it all comes together in order for the reader to easily comprehend it. Structure could be paragraphs, word phrasing, chapters or any of he events that occur such as flashbacks.

The structure in
To Kill A Mockingbird isn't very much different from any other story line. It contains a beginning, middle and end. But what most readers don't realize is that the first sentence: "When he was nearly thirteen, my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow," is very important. For in this sentence recalls the entire clima for the story. In the beginning, Scout is a little girl who enjoys her brother's company, but towards the end of the story, Scout begins to realize the "real world" and starts developing into more of a lady.
