-Overcoming the monster
A hero is tasked with destroying a monster, not always a literal one.
Example: Beowulf
-The Quest
A hero steps forth to perform a task, and usually allies are around to help.
Example: The Hobbit
-Rebirth
The protagonist is almost on the path to tragedy, however something happens that allows them to see themselves from the outside and they then do something about it.
Example: A Christmas Carol
-Romance
Two souls destined to be together, but kept away from each other by fate. Then they work towards being together.
Example: Shrek
-Voyage and Return
The protagonist finds him or herself in a world where nothing makes sense, no understanding who is friend and who is not. They eventually find the ropes of the world and act upon it.
Example: Alice in the Wonderland
-Rags to Riches
The protagonist rises thorough there station in life to achieve what they desire.
Example: Slumdog Millionaire
-Tragedy
The protagonist extremely wants something very bad and looses a part of himself to get it. By the end they are no longer themselves and become a monster.

What does mine align with?
I would say my plot aligns firstly with 'The Quest', as my plot is about about a character who survived a nuclear war and we see his quest on trying to find human race and his quest to reform human life. Secondly, it also defiantly fits with 'Voyage and Return', as he ends up in the same world as before but however it doesn't make sense that he only survived and hes the only human so no one can help him so it leaves him confused. But he does eventually get the hang of it and carry's on living his life. Lastly, you could also say that it fits in with 'Tragedy' also. In my short film you see that he wants to see his family and friends again so much that he looses himself to get it, you will see the state of him through the continuous of loneliness for so long.
