Main Events DO-NOTS

1. Superman/Act of God- author can't solve the problem so a hero comes in to save the day 2. Grocery List- list of things that don't affect the outcome 3. Another problem- one problem is enough 4. What's the point?- no main event at all

Slow motion action: Tell what you’re doing/the wolf is doing with arms, hands, feet, legs, etc. Description: the wolf Main character’s reaction: What does your face look like? What you say? (Dialogue) What sounds do you hear? How do you react to the sounds?
