LO: To apply narrative to our own ideas


Equilibrium: Mandi (the main character), Erik (her boyfriend) and Cassie (Erik's ex girlfriend who murders him later on in the story) are all friends and everything seems to be normal.

Disruption: Erik goes missing and Mandi becomes very depressed and wants to find him.

Recognition of disruption: Mandi and her best friend Jane find Erik's body in Cassie's basement and realise that Cassie had murdered him.

Attempt to solve disruption: They call the police but then Cassie hears them and threatens them with a gun forcing them to hang up on the police, she then locks Cassie and Jane in the basement. Cassie and Jane try to get out but they can't get out so they come up with a plan. Their plan was to kill Cassie or find a way to keep her in one place so that they could call the police. They found a knife and as they heard Cassie coming back down to the basement so they hide to try and make Cassie think they had escaped. As Cassie is looking around the basement for them, Mandi gets ready to stab her. Cassie finds them and as she does, Mandi stabs her.

New equilibrium: Cassie dies and Mandi and Jane go back to normality without Cassie or Erik.
