Plot Summary

     We recently vacationed in Florida.  It was beautifully sunny, in case you'd wondered.  :)  As a result, we missed one of our literature co-ops.  You may think that I cheered and yelled, "Yeah, homeschooling!"  Actually, I was a little sad.
      However, all is not lost.  Although we missed talking to everyone else, our teacher emailed us the activities and homework assignments, so we'll be on track for next month.
     One of the activities was to pair up and write plot summaries from prompts.  I figured we could do that at home, since there are two of us.  At co-op, we wouldn't be paired up, because siblings tend to feed off each other, but we weren't at co-op. 
     I love writing.  Allison does not.  I wish she did, because when she occasionally chooses to write something, I love it.  She has a knack for being hilarious and unexpected.
     I think you might agree with the "unexpected" part, after you read one of our plot summaries.  I apologize for the lack of description, if that bothers you.  Allison told me that I must be brief.  :)
  

     Exposition:  (The prompt that we selected.)  Sara notices that a stranger is following her.  She pretends not to notice.  He follows her home and watches her go inside.  When he leaves, Sara turns the tables and starts to follow him.

     Rising Action:  She follows him to a duplex, and sees him practicing his ("What is it that Larry plays in the theme song?"  Allison asked me.)  tuba.  It's super loud.

     Climax:  She enters the house.  He discovers her.  Oh, no!

     Falling Action:  He explains why he was following her:  He had mistaken her for a noted brass band conductor and wanted to inquire about a job.

     Conclusion:  They laugh and she leaves.  The End.


     "I wouldn't laugh."  Allison said, noting my addition to her narrative.
     I would.  Would you?
