Oehlers story 1

1. THE CHARACTER IS...
A  young orphaned boy who lives on a farm

2. THEIR LIFE IS...
Bad. Even though the farm is his, because he hasn't turned 18, his uncle: who is his legal guardian, abuses him. 

When his parents are shot, it is the age of Prohibition, or the gangster. By the time they get out to retrieve the money from the boy, it is the great depression.

3. THEY...
C.) Receive something wonderful...

His uncle made him work long, hard hours in the field.  He finds a large suitcase of money in a field. 


4. THE REASON THIS HAPPENED WAS ...

It's the money the robbers who killed his parents buried before they were caught.


5. THEY TRY TO...

C.) Keep the wonderful thing going

Hide the money so no one can find it.


6. THEY DO THIS BY...

Burying it somewhere else.


7. THE OBSTACLE IN THEIR WAY IS...

The robbers finally get out of jail because of a reduced sentence and com back to get the money.


8. IN ORDER TO OVERCOME THE OBSTACLE THEY NEED TO...

Avoid the robbers. Don't let his uncle find out.

THIS IS WHERE I'M SORT OF STUCK
