Not all Stories have such Structure

Here is one for my writing pals, from something posted on FM MB, probably to scold me for writing pieces that do not conform.
Structure of a Story.jpg
Well, what I did there was "Fiction" rather than "a story", but it occurs to me that very little of what I write conforms with this pattern.
Generally, I am a 1, 2 and 3 girl. Sometimes I jump right in at 2, and let the interplay between the characters tell something of the background. Then, there is not always a denouement, and rarely a total resolution.
I am posting this because I have never seen it spelt out like this, which shows that I have never been taught creative writing, I guess.
Maybe that is no bad thing?
