Story structures come in all shapes and sizes, writers have been documenting our own versions since we could first put pen to paper, and no structure better illustrates that then the three-act structure. The 3 act structure was first immortalized in a writing guide by Aristotle himself way back in the Before Common Era time of ancient Greece. Pretty cool to think about given how often the three act plot structure is used as a tool for outlining and analyzing screenplays and film. Though of course the structure lends itself to novels just as well, but they had books back in Aristotle's time so that's less cool to think about.
