Superstructure: the Key to Unlocking the Power of Story

In this book, renowned American writing coach James Scott Bell reveals the secrets to making novels and screenplays more powerful and irresistible. A basic principle of writing is that the appeal of a story is directly proportional to the reader's reading experience, and the reader's reading experience is directly proportional to the rationality of the structure. A story without structure is like a skin without a skeleton. Only through a reasonable structure can the power of the story be released. Superstructure works for any kind of writer-whether it's someone who likes to outline before they start writing, or someone who just lets their imagination run wild based on intuition. According to the author, writing a novel is like driving in the dark with headlights on. The furthest you can see is only the light on the highway. However, as long as you always know what the next sign is, you will not get lost or drive towards a cliff. "Superstructure" provides us with 14 very effective story signposts, which are: Haunting, Care Package, Argument Against Switching, Making Trouble, Door of No Return No. 1, Kick in the Shoe, Mirror Moment, Pet the Puppy, Door of No Return No. 2, Growing Power, Lights Out, Q Element, Final Battle, and Switching. For each signpost, this book explains it in an independent chapter, and also attaches a short section "Useful suggestions for plot writers and intuitive writers" to show you how to put what you have just learned into practice and make corresponding adjustments according to your own writing style to write a story that is unique to you.

Leonardo da Vinci left many notes throughout his life. He had tens of thousands of notes. Later generations are also looking for these precious notes and preserving them. From these notes, we can not only get a glimpse of the ideological circuit of Leonardo da Vinci, but also trace the ideological trend of the Renaissance. Leonardo da Vinci was diligent in recording throughout his life and wrote tens of thousands of notes. Today, only more than 5,000 pages remain. The notes in this book cover many fields, including a large number of explanations and sketches on astronomy, geography, architecture, water conservancy, fossils, and even optics. There are many wonders among them, and all kinds of knowledge that transcend the cognition of the times emerge in endlessly. Its preciousness can be seen from the world's pursuit of it. His works are scattered in various European countries. Although later generations tried hard to preserve them, some of them were destroyed by Napoleon. Therefore, this manuscript is particularly precious. This notebook was auctioned by Microsoft founder Bill Gates for US$30.8 Million in 1994, making it the most expensive book in the world and making this notebook truly well-known to the world. Most of Leonardo da Vinci's notes were written backwards in Italian with his left hand. The reason for writing backwards was to prevent the handwriting from becoming blurred. However, most of Leonardo's handwriting is messy and therefore difficult to read, and must be mirrored to read correctly. Leonardo da Vinci's great talent in using language, rhetoric and image thinking made these chapters beautiful essays that future generations will never tire of reading.

"Light in August" is a novel written by American writer and Nobel Prize winner William Faulkner, and it is also one of his masterpieces. Through the description of ten days of social life in Jefferson Town, the novel reveals the life of several main characters and their three-generation family history, embodies "the true emotions, love, sympathy, pride, compassion and sacrifice deep in the human soul from ancient times to the present", and shows the writer's attitude against racial and religious prejudice. The story is mainly divided into two clues. One is about Christmas, who was sent to an orphanage as a child. Because he was suspected of being a "mulatto", he lost his "identity" and suffered various abuses from society, which ultimately prompted him to kill the white lover he finally met and was executed by the white people. The other one tells the story of a rural girl named Lina who fell in love with her lover, was abandoned after becoming pregnant, and walked to the town of Jefferson to look for her lover. The work has great influence. Critic George O'Donnell once said: "Overall, "Light in August" is more mature than any other work written by Faulkner, has a broader vision, and is closer to finally and truly revealing human potential."

From being devastated by the artillery fire of the Thirty Years' War to trying to control the world during the Third Reich, Germany followed a winding path under different rulers. We cannot help but ask: How do political decision-makers in Germany and around the world understand and use the power in their hands, and under the guidance of what concepts do they make decisions to determine the fate of the country and influence the development process of the world? In order to answer this extraordinary question, German history expert Christopher Clark ingeniously grasped the philosophical incision of "time consciousness" and used four shapers of German history, namely Elector Friedrich Wilhelm, Friedrich II, Bismarck and Hitler as research samples, to conduct a groundbreaking interpretation of the issue of "the relationship between the power of those in power and their time consciousness." Time consciousness relates to a country's past, present and future: drawing lessons and strength from past history, presupposing possible future crises and changes, and guiding current decisions and actions to achieve one's own political goals are the basic thinking logic of national political decision-makers. From a vast sea of ​​historical materials, Clark extracts information such as the personal experiences, historical background, speeches, and political actions of Friedrich Wilhelm, Friedrich II, Bismarck, and Hitler. With thoughtful and passionate writing, Clark reveals the answers to questions such as how decision-makers understand and use the concept of time, the interaction between power and time, and the impact of time consciousness on the internal affairs and diplomacy of major powers.

I couldn't say I was unfortunate, but I couldn't say I was lucky. The only good thing is that when I changed my place of residence, people cared about me, and I was able to survive no matter what adversity. However, after others knew me, my luck turned out to be misfortune for others, chaos in the world, death, and finally misfortune. I am the only one who lives a very good life in this world.

The story unfolds through the personal narration of the protagonist Paul Boymer. During World War I, 19-year-old Paul Boymer was inspired by "patriotism" and volunteered to join the army with his classmates. However, the cruelty of war and military life was completely beyond imagination. In boot camp, they are forced to abandon their former faith in knowledge and freedom and undergo a radical transformation. After a short training, the recruits were sent to the front line to fight, and what they saw and heard was cruel: the trenches were full of rats and lice; severe infectious diseases threatened the life of every soldier; comrades were killed one by one, or were injured and sent to field hospitals; the field hospitals were poorly equipped and lacked medicines, and the mortality rate of injured patients was extremely high. When Paul returned home on vacation, he found that Germany was still immersed in heroic fantasies about war. Ordinary people could not imagine the disasters suffered by soldiers on the front line. He was completely out of touch with his previous life, and no one could understand his feelings. Paul returns to the front line. At this time, the war is becoming more and more fierce, and the future is confused...
