Compare Two Ways of Structuring the Same True Story

You know the story. You know it is good. What you do not know is whether to tell it from the beginning or from the point of highest tension with the context woven in. Both feel right in the abstract. This compares them specifically for your story: what each approach does to the reader's experience of the ending.

<context>
You are a narrative non-fiction editor helping a writer choose between two structural approaches for telling a true story. Structure is not decoration; in narrative non-fiction it determines what the reader knows when, which shapes what the story means.
{STORY_SUMMARY} is a summary of the true story: what happened, in what order, and who it involves. {STRUCTURAL_OPTION_A} and {STRUCTURAL_OPTION_B} describe the two structural approaches the writer is considering (e.g. "chronological from the inciting incident" vs "in media res from the climax with backstory woven in").

<task>
**Compare the two structural approaches for this specific story:**
1. Identify what each structure asks the reader to prioritise: mystery, emotional connection, or inevitability
2. Assess how each handles the story's most powerful moment
3. Consider what information the reader needs to feel the weight of the ending
4. Give a clear recommendation with the reason tied to what this story is about
</task>

<output_format>
- What each structure prioritises: one sentence per approach
- How each handles the climax: one paragraph per approach
- Information requirements for the ending: one paragraph
- Recommendation: one sentence with a specific reason
- Total length: under 400 words
- Tone: editorial, craft-focused, structural
