Since I've been 12 the idea of not doing homework in order to catch my favorite novela hasn't crossed my mind. Those stories always got to me since they are overly dramatic and full of passion. How can I explain. When you hear the cry of a woman and your skin raises because you instantly feel her pain.When the impact of that same woman's hand on the face of her lover stings your heart because you know their relationship is being sabotaged and it's not his fault. In other words you can get so ingrossed into these Mexican drama stories you become a part of the plot. The cause of that epidemic Latinos encounter is due to the Pyramid of Structure which includes the 1.)Exposition 2.) Rising Action 3.) Climax 4.) Falling Action and 5.) Conclusion. This appiphany occured while I was in Mexico and all my grandma did was watch novels.
Yep, very simple, yet effective. The way these stories work to capture an audience is that the wirter gives the audience time to fall in love with the charcaters then throws a curve ball that the heros must swerve. That obsticle is usually a temptress used to connect the audience to one of the most feared actions: infidility. Through the coourse of 2 months the rising action is in play.The audience is intruiged to tune in the following evening to find out what else is to come. Finally by the 3rd month there is a turning point. Someone unknown to the main character or very close reveals a great dark secret that will help the protagonist fulfill his/her goal. Between months4-5 things either continue to get better. In the love story, by the conclusion the featured couple will get married and live happliy ever after.
All the accounts in thses series are usually never going to happen in real life, but novelas definately provide a story that can distract the audience from their own stressful lives.
