Every Little Hurricane in Images

Exposition: Victor, 9, is laying in bed while his parents throw a New Years party upstairs.  They are Native American, living in HUD housing on a Spokane reservation.

Rising Action: Victor's uncles get into a fist fight.  Victor begins to compare their "hurricanes" to his own problems with his parents, their alcoholism, and poverty.

Climax:  Feels ceiling crushing him from the pressure of his thoughts.  The emotions inside of him are overwhelming and he feels claustrophobic.

Falling Action: Victor goes looking for his parents amongst the drunk and rowdy guests.  He feels lost between familiar people, but is motivated to find his parents.

Resolution: Victor lays in between his parents content that he found them.  He is finally able to fall asleep
