Ex: Adam: Slave
Ex: Mr. Daniels: Plantation owner running for town mayor

How do they fit into the story
Ex: Christina is Mr.Daniels daughter who will someday inherit his
plantation, The Sheriff is the town officer who was appointed the position by
the town mayor Rowah: Unwitting Instigator of Doom
Step 6: Theme of the Story
Ex: Acceptance: We all make bad decisions but what defines us is our
ability to accept them and move on. Loneliness: Adam is the only immortal
so no one understands him Morality: The concept of immortality means that
there’s literally no cosmic justice and death is no longer a factor so why
should he be good?

Ex: TV MA
Step 8: 3 act structure: Beginning, Middle,
End
