Including Plotline #3 would create a reason for the two characters to connect, which they otherwise lack. By having both Darren and Lucia affected by the hacking incident in the online forum, they would have a common challenge to address, allowing for potential collaboration or interaction between them despite their distinct legal specializations. This connection could enhance the overall narrative by intertwining their story arcs.
Use the plot descriptions to answer the question.
Plotline #1: A giant corporation is threatening the environment in Alaska. Darren, an environmental lawyer, is about to have the fight of his life.
Plotline #2: Lucia is a tax lawyer in Texas. She finds out that some businesses have not been paying their fair share of taxes. They will soon, if she has anything to say about it.
Plotline #3: An online forum where lawyers often chat and give advice gets hacked, and lawyers across the country scramble to protect their data and help one another.
How would including Plotline #3 change the effectiveness of putting Plotlines #1 and #2 together in the same story?
