I am writing a diary entry about what made my character who he is today.
The diary is a small black diary that is often misplaced.
Dear Diary
I'm 18 and still living with my parents. Today i tried again to join the armed forces and yet again they said no. I didn't pass my physical. They said i wasn't fit enough. I told my father and all he did was berate me about how i'm lazy and never do any exercise. He said unless i start to make a change he will throw me out of the house. So fine i'll start making a change. I'll start to train and become fit. The when i join the army. We will see who is being thrown out of the house won't we?

Questions
Q1) Who is your main character and what do they want? My main character is Sgt Steven Wilson and he wants to help people with their troubles and defend them from the zombie attack.
Q2) What are the obstacals they must overcome to get what they want? He must first overcome his own troubles before helping others.
Q3) In the end do they get it? Was getting it (Or not getting it) Good or bad for them? In the end he deals with his own troubled mind. The help his captain put his mind a rest before he dies and kills the main antagonist. This is good because it makes him a better leader when he gets promoted.
Q4) Why do we care. What is so damn compelling that I'm going to spend 110 minutes of my life watching it? It is an action horror. It is designed to be a thrill ride giving the viewers adrenaline rushes do to the combined horror and action.
Version 1
Soldier 1) Did you hear? They’re sending Wilson into London.
Soldier 2) Really? You think him and his team will get it done?
Soldier 2) Why's that?
Soldier 1) Don't you know? He's the one who took out the Al-Qaida cell last year.
Soldier 2) That's him? Holy shit this must be big then.
Soldier 1) Yeah I guess so.
Soldier 2) So if he and his squad are in London what are we all doing out here?
Soldier 1) I don't know. Guess we are just the support.
Soldier 2) Damn I hate being support all the time.
Soldier 1) Well I'm sure if you ask the Cornel real nicely he'll add you to the squad.
Soldier 2) No thanks, I don't want to go get eaten by Zombies.
Soldier 1) Well then shut up.
Soldier 2) Whatever.
Version 2
Soldier 1) Have you heard?
They are going to be sending Wilson into London.
Soldier 2) Really? You
think he and his squad can cut a job that big?
Soldier 1) To be honest if
I was making the choice I’d pick him
Soldier 2) How comes?
Soldier 1) You didn’t hear
did you? He and his squad took out the Al-Qaida out post last year.
Soldier 2) What? That
Wilson? Shit man, well they got the right guy.
Soldier 1) Yeah they did.
Soldier 2) Hang on if they
are all going in there, what are we going to be doing out here the whole time?
Soldier 1) Standing by to
support them I guess.
Soldier 2) I hate standing
around all the time.
Soldier 1) Well be my guest
and request to be transferred to Wilson’s squad, I won’t stop you. Say hi to
the Zombies for me though.
Soldier 2) On second
thought I’ll stay here.
Soldier 1) (Laughs) Thought
so
Soldier 2) Shut up!
