New Plot Structure for Interlopers

To change the plot in The Interlopers, we decided to start the story by first flashing forward to when the tree fell on Ulrich and Georg, and then we told the reader that the wolves came. We then flashed back and introduced the story and told it in a fairly normal order, but we had conflict again before the became friends so that the end of the story was when they became friends, and it had a better, more telling ending. This benefits the plot structure in a huge way because the ending is more definite and it doesn't just leave the reader guessing what happened. Also, the new structure provides an element of mystery and tension in the beginning when the wolves come and make the reader want to read more about how that happened. We made the story easier to read by giving the reader more information than originally intended by the author.
