Analysis of the structure of Mimon's article
1. Objective: To save both his lover and his mother.
2. Obstacle: Near the end, my legs probably got tangled in algae or something similar. In desperation, I kicked my legs violently, and after breaking free, I swam desperately towards my wife…
3. Action: After grabbing my wife, I swam back with all my might. As soon as my feet touched the bottom, I pushed my wife towards the shore, then plunged back into the water and swam towards my mother...
4. Result: I turned around and rushed to my mother, suddenly noticing the bloodstains around her eyes and the footprint-shaped bruises on her face. She didn't wake up until the ambulance arrived; she would never wake up again. It turned out that what had been clinging to me wasn't seaweed, but my mother… She didn't wake up until the ambulance arrived; she would never wake up again…
5. Unexpected: The tents around me were already set up. I must have been too tired and fallen asleep, having a nightmare. I sat up and saw my mother and wife chatting and laughing not far away.
6. Turning Point: I got up and went over to my mother, hugging her tightly, tears streaming down my face. My wife asked me what was wrong, and I took her to the riverbank, asking her, "Do you remember when you asked me about you and Mom falling into the water at the same time?" My wife looked at me with confusion, and I smiled at her without saying anything, then took her to the water's edge.
7. The Ending: The raft was still moored there. I untied it and helped my wife up. As the raft veered into the river, I suddenly pushed her into the water. "Fool, this way you won't fall in at the same time as her..."
Since a story must be of sufficient length to impress users, these 7 steps need to be repeated throughout the story.
If you want to achieve a big goal, you need to break it down into multiple small goals. To solve each small goal, you will encounter obstacles and problems one by one.
