What, according to Tristine Rainer, is a “character arc”?
a. A storyline with a meaningful change for the better
b. An assembly of characters in a story which are interconnected
c. The role played by a character actor
d. A storyline with a downhill slide toward disaster
Still, Zinsser makes a good point, a point echoed by Tristine Rainer. She urges us to imagine our theme and our character arc as the string that holds together the pearls of our story–the scenes, images, details, and dialogue.
