Story Plots

I am trying to work out the how eight types of plot you told me last week. After adopting and analysing the plot to read the novel , I think I can understant how they happened in a novel now.

In the story of Air Babylon, the Duty manager was informed that a snake was found in one of the plane which was just landed. It was found by a hostess when the plane was about to take off. After she saw its head in one of the locker, she had to control herself not to scream. She told other passengers there's a slight leak in the aircon. Then she took away the baggages very slowly and sealed the locker. Until all passengers disembarked, she informed the airline duty manager and the Customs officers. At last, it was taken by the staff of the Animal Reception Centre. In fact, it was brought on broad by a Thai passenger. However, no one could communicate with him because he didn't speak well in english. He brought it abroad with right paper work, but he didn't want to put it on hold. So he just put it in his rucksack and it went away.....

In this part, this story goes from Problem to Solution that the hostess found the snake then informed the right persons to catch it.

It also goes from Mystery to Solution that the hostess finally found the snake was brought in by a Thai passenger.

Moreover, the story goes from Conflict to Peace and from Danger to Safety that after the hostess saw the snake, she was so scared but she tried to calm herself down and not to scream. She had to keep everything as normal until all passengers disembarked. At last, she informed the duty manager and the snake was caught by the staff from the Animal Reception Centre.

After reading the above part in the novel, I understand that the writers always develop their stories by the 8 types of plot.
