Act 3
Finally, the third act features the resolution of the story and its subplots. The climax, also known as the second turning point, is the scene or sequence in which the main tensions of the story are brought to their most intense point and the dramatic question answered, leaving the protagonist and other characters with a new sense of who they really are.
Act 2
The second act, also referred to as "rising action", typically depicts the protagonist's attempt to resolve the problem initiated by the first turning point, only to find themselves in ever worsening situations. Part of the reason the protagonist seems unable to resolve their problems is because they do not yet have the skills to deal with the forces of antagonism that confront them. They must not only learn new skills but arrive at a higher sense of awareness of who they are and what they are capable of, in order to deal with their predicament. This cannot be achieved alone and they are usually aided and abetted by mentors and co-protagonists.

(c) Will I ever get the Revelation of the Ark out to the people?
(c) Will I ever get help for narcolepsy?
(c) Will I ever get people to admit that Willy Pickton is not guilty?
(c) Will I ever be able to support my son?

ever worsening situations
a) My book turns out to be a cyber terrorist manual.
b) Even though many people read my emails they are mostly ignored. I begin to wonder if I am crazy.
c) Some people even call me the messiah but nobody seems to care.
c) Even though the Ark Revelation even makes onto late night tv as a comment. Still, nobody seems to realize what it means.
c) My emails to Dr. Fleming now ensure that I can not even see other people in his office for my symptoms.
c) My emails about Willy Pickton seem to have motivated all of Canada's media, police and gov to largely ignore the outcome of his trial.
c) All of the internet marketing schemes I use to try and make a decent living to support my son on the internet fall through.
c) Some people are interested in my global warming theories on the internet but because I can not seem to tell them without the biblical inferences and references nobody cares for them.
In the end all my emails have done is seem to have alienated me from the general public and created a mood of hostility towards Canada that I am afraid threatens the alliance between Canada and the US in the Afghan War.
They must not only learn new skills but arrive at a higher sense of awareness of who they are and what they are capable of, in order to deal with their predicament.

Act 1
The first act is used to establish the main characters, their relationships and the normal world they live in. Earlier in the first act, a dynamic, on-screen incident occurs that confronts the main character (the protagonist), whose attempts to deal with this incident leads to a second and more dramatic situation, known as the first turning point, which (a) signals the end of the first act, (b) ensures life will never be the same again for the protagonist and (c) raises a dramatic question that will be answered in the climax of the film. The dramatic question should be framed in terms of the protagonist's call to action, (Will X recover the diamond?, Will Y get the girl? Will Z capture the killer?).
the main characters
their relationships and the normal world they live in
Only some people are believers in the stories of the bible. And, only some people believe that spirits are in control of this world somehow. Dr. Fleming is a doctor at the UBC Sleep Disorders. He normally treats people with narcolepsy. Willy Pickton is an accused mass murderer in Canada. He was found not guilty of the 1st degree homicide of the victims but found guilty of the second degree homicide. Ben is my son - to whom this book is dedicated. He lives in Canada with his mom Nikki. Astaroth is a demon and chieftain in hell who has to come help me save the world physically for the deal I made with Satan.
