My Outline

Within: a princess is tired of how her dad rules the people. She does not believe in what her dad (the King) wants theses people to do. She wants to know what the people have to say
Outward: the princess is getting blamed for the rules her father is making. People think she is just like her father because she is in the ruling family.

Exposition: the princess is a little girl and her father has just become king. The king promises he will do what is best for his nation.

Rising action: the princess is now in her teen and has grown up to become a beautiful young lady. The king has made the people mad by not keeping to his promises.

Climax: the princess’s father is getting sick and she must now marry a prince or someone of high ruling to take over as king. But the princess does not want to marry the man that she is arranged to marry.

Or another climax could be
Climax: the princess’s father is getting sick and she must take over her fathers place and become queen. However the people of where she lives think she is going to be just like her father and do not want her to become queen. The people don’t even want to give her a chance. They are starting to rebel and it is now on the princesses shoulders to set everything straight.

Falling action: nationalism begins and the people taking over. The king is now dead and no one is listening to what the princess has to say.

Resolution: nations have been created. (Don’t know what happens to the princess yet)

Heyyyyyy raz,
I like your story idea although your thoughts seem to get more jumbled and confusing as you go along. How does the king break his promise...what part? In the first climax it doesn’t involve nationalism and the second one does much more. I like the second climax better because it incorporates the idea of nationalism better and it seem much more interesting and stronger. The part where you say nationalism begins and the people taking over it doesn’t make since. How does this happen what are the people doing. I also don’t understand what you mean by nations have been created. I think that the people should get really mad and kill the princess... or not!

well... yours is much better then mine! i think that your second climax is better... you could use the first one as an internal conflict becuase she doesnt want to get married! i think that when the king first becomes king the princess should not have been born yet. it doesnt seem like they would have a king that already had a kid becuase you werent aloud to have a kid until you were married... w/e im just rambling on and on! love it

I agree with the other 2 posters that your second plot has more oomph as a plot device. You are also lacking in a good deal of specifics here, so it is, indeed, pretty confusing as to what all the fuss is about both within the walls of the castle and without. What are the real conflicts here?
