For my story, I chose the movie Endless Love. It is my favorite movie of all time. Not only did I choose it because it is my favorite, I felt that it met this blog post requirement quite well due to all the ups, downs, and drama embedded in this movie. The shape influences the effectiveness of the story because it keeps the audience engaged. For example, the main characters Jane's boyfriend punched her father resulting in him getting a restraining order. Everybody expects love stories to have a happy ending. If there's no drama in between, no one is going to be interested in the plot. That is why instead of having one low point, there are two different occasions where multiple characters are struggling. It also helps to build the characters in the movie because you learn about them through their high and low points. It allows for the audience to connect with these characters.
