Bordwell and Thompson - Narrative as Formal Systems - Lisa Nunn

I missed reading this assignment at the very beginning of the semester, but I think the article describes narratives very well.

It gets me thinking on how the story is going to play out. It does leave me at this cliffhanger where I want to see more but explains what happens before it gets to that situation. But down fall of that is how some movies give you enough info...
