In light of the professor’s and group comments, I have made several changes to the paper.

I have also completely changed the final paragraph to make it more of a ...

A Response to Jeremy Butler

This is a response paper wherein I have chosen a commentary written by Jeremy Butler, entitled Classical Narrative Structure: Exposition, Climax, Resolution. It explains the conventional narrative form that filmmakers follow. Butler cites examples from the popular movie Raiders of the Lost Ark in order to support his statements.

A problem arises when they are likely to “not take into account any effect that an action may have on a third party” (Colander, 2013). This is defined as an externality – company A and company B enter into a ...
