I Am The Cheese
By Robert Cormier
1. PLOT
A. The plot is developed dramatically. It follows the model of the Freytag pyramid.
The story begins with the exposition. It reveals Adam Farmer’s character, a lonely, shy, fearful, paranoid, alienated teenage boy. It presents the situation of Adam leaving Monument, Massachusetts, and going on a bike trip to visit his father, David Farmer. He is traveling with a package for his father, in Rutterburg, Vermont. Adam meets with a doctor named Brint. He gets Adam to talk about his earliest remembrances. The earliest thing Adam can remember is a bus trip in the middle of the night when his family left their home. They move to another town and everything is different, his father is secretive and paranoid, and his mother is fearful and sad. Ex. “Take your time…series of impressions.” (pg. 6) “It was spooky, scary…her eyes. So sad.” (pg. 9/10) The inciting force is that Adam’s family is being chased, and he is just learning of their secret identity.

As a reporter in Blount, New York, he uncovered important documents at the State House in Albany. The evidence linked officials in the government to corruption and organized crime. Anthony testified in Washington, D.C. and was promised protection and given a new identity. Ex. “But as if we were being chased…were running away.” (pg. 9) “We lived here…necessary to lie?” (pg. 54) Then comes the rising action. In Adam’s investigation of his family’s secrets, he finds out he may not be from Rawlings, Pennsylvania, and he finds he has two different birth certificates. Ex. “It was a birth certificate…I born twice?” (pg. 64)
Later, he hears his mother talking to an ‘aunt’ when he eavesdrops on her phone call. He finds out his parents have been lying to him, in telling him that they had...
