I'm having a hard time understanding "Overarching Plot" in stories 1) What Is the overarching plot in "The Walking Dead'? To me i think the overarching plot is the characters doing whatever it takes to survive the zombie world 2) What is the overarching plot in "Game Of Thrones"? To me i think the overarching plot is the fight for the iron throne and The white walkers Am I right with these answers?
