Freytag's Triangle...
If you guys aren't familiar with Freytag's trianle then let me enlighten you. There are three sides to a triangle, and in each side there is a certain of the story. First comes the introduction, then is the peripeteia, and last is the resolution. There are also things in between. In between the introduction and peripeteia are the initial conflict, reversal, and climax. Between the peripeteia and resolution is the falling action. In "feed" the introduction was about a group of friends during spring break. After a lot of crazy things happening, they meet Violet, the main character's girlfriend. The initial conflict deals with Violet and the main character's relationship. At first, they began talking about how their relationship is going to work, and now it is about if they going to be together for a while. So far I have not yet recognized a reversal in my book, but once I do find one I'll let you know. The climax of my book was when Violet tells her boyfriend that there was something wrong with her feed and has not fixed itself yet. When a technichian told her that it will heal by itself in a week or so, it didn't. After a month, she finally tells someone about her problem, not even her parents know about still, which leads to the peripeteia. The most random event in the book was when Violet took her boyfriend to meet her parents. He was supposed to pick her up at the mall, but she never so he went to her house where her crazy father was working at the time. He didn't meet the mother because she actually went to her workplace.
