also be told through a flow diagram.

later action would change. The two alternatives are below.
This is what actually happened:
This is what could have happened:
As you can see, the change in one action affects the rest of the
story. The characters make decisions which affect later action.
a) Make a list of the key events in the story. Think about the
choices the characters had to make at each of these key events
and make a list of these, too (e.g. David's mother marries
Mr Murdstone, David bites Mr Murdstone, etc).
b) Think what would have happened if the characters had made
different choices at each key event and make a list of the
alternatives.
What is the new moral of your story?
c) Choose one of these key events and re-write the story in flow
diagram format, based on the alternative decision the character
made.
