BlakePlots are structured with the "hero's journey", which goes something like this:
- a call to adventure, which the hero has to accept or decline,
- a road of trials, regarding which the hero succeeds or fails,
- achieving the goal (or "boon"), which often results in important self-knowledge,
- a return to the ordinary world, as to which, again, the hero can succeed or fail, and
- application of the boon, in which what the hero has gained can be used to improve the world.
You can also write plays with different methods, which you can find on wikipedia under screenplaywriting and playwriting.

What is structure in literature?
It really depends on what you are studying. If 'structure' is used in reference to a particular text e.g. novel, it is how the story is told: sequencing of events (linear/non-linear), 'turning points' in plot. If 'structure' is used in reference to a play, once again it is how the plot unravels (significant events? linear/non-linear narrative? symmetry of plot?), how skilfully the playwright employs tension and light humour, entrances and exits etc. In other words, what dramatic devices are used? Consider dialogue, setting and the interaction between the play and the audience. If 'structure' is used in reference to a poem, then you ned to look at the rhyme scheme to classify the different types of poems. For example, a poem of fourteen lines with rhyme scheme ababcdcdefefgg is a Shakespearean sonnet. Do not forget to link your analysis of 'structure' in your given text to how the work functions as a whole: how significant is the author's way of organising his or her story effective in bringing about the poet's view of a particular theme/atmosphere?
