This work examines the idea of story structures. This topic means we could create 3 bullet points to give a narrative frame of a story. What happened? What is going on? What is the end? The 3 bullet points could help us to build the story.

The idea I had was “1. Day dawned and the sun rose 2.The snowman began to melt 3. Someone rescued him from the sun,” 

Story: 

There is a village called The Snow Country, there are all snowmen in the village. They always stay together because that could keep them cold and freeze. They will go outside to travel during the winter and come back before the summer. But once, when a snow child was lost in the journey, all the snowmen spent a lot of time looking for him. However, the season is already near summer, and summer is almost here. They are so worried they all will melt if they cannot go back to The Snow Country. They had a big fight, to keep finding and save the kid or just go back to The Snow Country for their safety. Finally, they decide to go back to The Snow Country. They were nervous and frustrated. Only one snowman decides to leave and find the child. He found the kid at the end of the spring. They were very anxious to go home. Almost there! The last day! Day dawned, the sun rose. They began to melt.They already see the Snow Country! RUN! Those snowmen that are in The Snow Country also come out to help them, because they could keep them cold and freeze if they stay together. They arrived at last, happy and safe. 

I got inspiration from Sia's music video animation "Snowman.".(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnHHyGpkvuw). This animation shows the treasure relationship between snowmen and humans. It is a warm and sweet animation and music. 

I was inspired by this short film and have an idea about melting snowmen. The 3 bullet points could help us to build the story. These points could explore a lot and various stories. Would make others imagine what happened.
