Heroes of Greek Myth: Source I've only heard a handful of stories about Mythical Heroes. Even in the ones that I am a little familiar with, I still don't know too much specifically. I was interested in Greek Heroes when I was younger. I've since moved onto more important things, in my own opinion. However, it wouldn't be bad to revisit my old interests. I would probably write about stories of major heroic characters in Greek Mythology, such as Heracles, Odysseus, and Jason. I would probably write it as a narrative towards a younger child, just like how I was interested in it in the past as a child. Bible Stories: Source I come from a Christian background. I'm familiar with most Bible stories, but I'm not proud to say that I don't know many of them. I would probably write about more obscure stories that I, and perhaps others, aren't very familiar with. I would try to write it so that it doesn't seem Biblical in nature. It wo...
Week 2 Story: Squidward Tennisballs
https://sites.google.com/view/nathanielvoportfolio/squidwards-art Squidward Tentacles works unending hours at the Krusty Krab restaurant as a lowly cashier. He labors day after day to make enough to achieve his dreams: winning a dance competition, playing music at the Bubble Bowl, and being a movie star. However, his dreams are shattered each and every day as he only makes a nickel for every day he works. Squidward spends his free time as an artist, dancer, and musician. He enjoys dancing painting and building sculptures of himself, as well as playing his clarinet. Despite all of his hobbies, Squidward has no friends. He does not want to associate with his neighbors, SpongeBob and Patrick, as they spend their days blowing bubbles and fishing for jellyfish. He once had a friend named Howard. Howard shared many interests with Squidward, such as playing the bassoon, enjoys fine art, and especially dislikes blowing bubbles. However, SpongeBo...
Hi Nathaniel!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, when I saw that you used Harry Potter as inspiration I thought "Thank god" because I always love a good Potter reference. Secondly, LOVE how you kept Harry's parents alive all thanks for Snape, that is surely an unusual twist for this story to follow. Using the Three Wise Men as inspiration for this story is something I would not have thought of, however I think it would have made for a great story if there were two others offering gifts with Snape like Lupin and Serious too. Regardless, I really enjoyed your use of Snape because a ton of people do not know that he is one of the best underrated character (they all assume he really is bad). Nice job!
Hi Nathaniel!
ReplyDeleteI think it’s very clever that you paralleled Harry Potter’s story with the birth of Jesus! The stories are definitely very similar, and I like that you told it in a style of writing similar to what we would see in the Bible.
I wonder what would have happened to Snape in this version of the story. Would Lord Voldemort kill him for failing to betray the Potters, or would he manage to escape from the Death Eaters?
I was confused about what this story was about until I got to the Author’s Note and then reread the whole thing. What if you included a title of some kind that would let readers know this was a parody of the Bible? Also, I think it would a bit easier to read and flow if you split the test into two or three paragraphs.
Thank you for this entertaining story! Good work!
