This is really a biology question with some English in it: I need a Freytag's Pyramid of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2009) version.

How? I am an English tutor so I could help you, but I don't understand what this has to do with Bio, haha

OpenStudy (wach):

So basically, here is a Freytag's pyramid: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d0/Freytags_pyramid.png I can describe the main plot points and you can try to link events from that movie to them, alright? :) Exposition - introduction of setting and characters - basically first thing happening in the movie - Rising Action - introduction of problem to the story - in this movie, it's probably the whole raining meat' thing, haha. Climax - This is the main, most important event. The boss battle. Where does all the action happen? Here. Falling Action - Happens after the event, sort of the calm after the storm Denoument - Resolution / usually happy ending

Haven't seen that film sorry :P

OpenStudy (firejay5):

@wach It it's about Biology is science. Anyway this is science, because it's about how food is consumed and how weather and science can affect the world

OpenStudy (wach):

Ok, cool.

OpenStudy (firejay5):

I get the pyramid; it's just I need to fit the information on the pyramid. Freytag's Pyramid: 1. Exposition 2. Inciting Incident 3. Rising Action 4. Climax 5. Falling Action 6. Denouement 7. Resolution

OpenStudy (wach):

Ok, so what are you thinking so far?

OpenStudy (firejay5):

I know the information, I need information from the movie to fill in the pyramid

OpenStudy (wach):

I'm asking what plot points from the movie you think fit. :)

OpenStudy (wach):

For the exposition, you'd probably put the introduction of Flint first; his failed inventions and whatnot. What else do you think?

OpenStudy (firejay5):

I have a summary of the movie

OpenStudy (firejay5):

you want that and maybe we could determine what it is

OpenStudy (wach):

I've watched the movie. But I'm asking you what you think the main events occur. What about the part where the tornado of pasta and meatballs comes? Where do you think that fits?

OpenStudy (firejay5):

Exposition - Flint Lockwood and his parents Inciting Incident - Flint's invention don't work Rising Action - food falling from the sky Climax - tornado of pasta and meatballs

OpenStudy (wach):

Awesome!! :) Falling action is basically where the protagonist wins, so probably the part where Flint is able to click send would be best there.

OpenStudy (wach):

Denouement = finally winning and Resolution = town is happy, mayor is stranded in the sea

OpenStudy (firejay5):

really I didn't see that

OpenStudy (wach):

At least, that's what I think. What is your opinion?

OpenStudy (firejay5):

I agree the towns people are happy, and are glad that nothing bad will happen to their town again, because it's all over.

OpenStudy (wach):

Yeah, so that's definitely valid. :)

OpenStudy (firejay5):

am I right? If the mayor was stranded at the sea that would be valid

OpenStudy (wach):

Probably talk more about the happiness of the townsfolk since it's resolution. I think you're right, there. I guess you could say the mayor symbolizes the death of materialism in the film as the res, though.

OpenStudy (firejay5):

What should I add in the resolution?

OpenStudy (wach):

The satisfaction/happiness of the townspeople now that their town has been returned to normal, probably.
