You also need to describe WHY this goal is so important to the protagonist. If it isn't important, he could just go home and eat dinner instead of knock his socks off to achieve. Examples: * The Wizard of Oz: If Dorothy fails, she will be stuck forever in the strange landscape of Oz, never again seeing her family. * The Hunt for Red October: If Ramius fails, he and his officers will be executed for treason. * The Fellowship of the Ring: If Frodo fails, the entire Middle Earth will fall into chaos and horror under the dominion of Sauron. In your story, why is the story goal so important to your protagonist? What horrible consequences will occur if your protagonist fails in his quest? |
