(2) PLOT
Exposition The main characters, Tristan, James and Mum, are introduced. We also learn more about the twins and the upcoming school play. Rising Action Both Tristan and James have mixed feelings about going to their new schools. They are worried about being separated and whether they can adapt to their new schools. Climax The climax occurs the day after the school play. Tristan and James react very differently to the school play. They both realise how much they depend on each other and how difficult it would be to adapt to their new schools. Tristan is not sure whether to follow James to Highfields or to go to Chesterlea Grange on his own.

The twins live with their mother in a comfortable home which is disabledfriendly. The twins found their home a relaxing place to pursue their own interests with the love, support and encouragement of their mother. Peter Hill Primary is where the twins had their primary level education. It must be somewhere near the home of the twins. Chesterlea Grange is a fully residential school for special children. It is fully equipped with facilities for the physically challenged to acquire knowledge and survival skills. Here, the students play sports, act in plays as well as to spend their time in the indoor video and games room. The environment is refreshingly clean, healthy and cheerful to promote the well-being of its residents. It is unlikely to be near the twin's home. Highfields is a normal day school for students to pursue secondary education.

Falling Action At first, Tristan tells his mother that he does not want to go to Chesterlea Grange. Then, James talks to him and Tristan changes his mind. Resolution This is the ending where the twins realise that they have made the right decision. They are both happy in their new schools.

Time: Present day.
