Scenes A story is a sequence of scenes. A scene presents what took place at one particular moment and place. We need to learn how to define them - and to discern when the scene has changed. Stories are as much pictures as they are words. All these contribute to our experience of the story.
Dramatic flow is also an essential part of story.
The Turning point or climax is also important. These ultimately become the Books of the Bible. You can almost expand these structures beyond individual Books of the Bible into Four great Epics - Moses and the Exodus and the Conquest. Saul, David and the United Kingdom. The Kings and Prophets.
