40 short stories a portable anthology 4th edition pdf free

Engl Creative Paper

Write a creative prequel or sequel to a short story you have read/or heard about in class. You may also add a scene. Or you may write an original short story. (1,000-2,500 words)

Keep in mind the elements of fiction (characters, setting, plot, point of view, symbolism, tone, theme and language) as you shape your story. These elements should be clear so that your reader can identify each of them in your story.
The plot needs to include a exposition (background/beginning), conflicts (rising action), climax and resolution (ending)
SHOW rather than tell. Use descriptive language, including the five senses, and dialogue.
If you create the prequel or sequel, make sure there is a clear connection to the actual short story.
Prequel
Write a narrative work explaining how the main character became the way that he/she did. In the prequel, you will need to keep a similar theme and main characters as found in the original. However, you can change some of the elements such as the setting or POV or add a character.

For example, how did the protagonist in "The Lone Ranger and Tonto have a Fist Fight in Heaven" become an alcoholic and lose hope.
Explain the events that led to or caused the protagonist to leave the reservation before the story begins. Reread the story to pick up clues. Use vivid language and dialogue. Most of all, be creative.
Sequel
Write a narrative work explaining what happens to the main character after the ending of the short story. You will need to keep a similar theme and main characters in the sequel ; otherwise, you can change some of the elements such as the setting or POV or add a character.

For example, what kind of parent or wife will the mother in "Fiesta, 1980" be like in the future. Explain the events that cause her to stay in the marriage or leave her abusive husband. Reread the story to pick up clues. Use vivid language and dialogue. Most of all, be creative.

Monster-tale

loneliness, uniqueness, ugliness, terror that dread of an unspeakably private, unshared future

Find a balance between the humanity of the characters and their fantastic traits

Monsters are often slaves to ungovernable appetites and desires, they are powerless over their own impulses, they are brutally violent. And also exiled from love and community, hunted and hated, etc.

to use the fantastic elements as an opportunity to draw forth and think through some of the more frightening and troubling aspects of our human nature—the ways we deal with or deny and fail to deal with our “monstrous” longings.

Background (cont.)

A funhouse mirror for human nature

Face challenges as any long-married human couple

What would “’til death do us part” look like from the everlasting vantage of a vampire?

Sorrento is an old town in Italy where Clyde and Magreb have come to live in a lemon grove. The old-world town is reflective of the old world nature of Clyde and Magreb as vampires, and becomes a safe haven for them as they realize they can subsist on lemons.

Sorrento is also the home of Fila and the lemon grove workers. It is in Sorrento, proper, that Clyde and Magreb go to see a movie which Magreb leaves early. On his way home, Clyde encounters Fila in Sorrento, during which times his true nature comes out when he feeds on, and kills Fila.

Travelled around the world to find the substitute goods of human blood: mint tea, coconut, jet black coffee, apple, rubber balls, jackal’s milk, cherry coke

Themes

The horrible true nature of individuals

A dark romance between Clyde and Magreb, the mortal and immortal of love

Illustration by Clifford Harper/agraphia.co.uk

In the story, horror appears in a very classic way through the existence of vampires. Clyde and his wife, both vampires, deny their true nature as vampires by refusing to drink blood. Clyde’s true nature wins out in his horrific killing of Fila to drink her blood late in the story.

The relationship btw M n C is hard to say because they both have an endless longevity so for Clyde, he think that their love is immortal however, Magreb leave Clyde in the end that for Clyde, nothing can last forever

Quotes and Explanation

“I once pictured time as a black magnifying glass and myself as a microscopic flightless insect trapped in that circle of night. But then Magreb came along, and eternity ceased to frighten me” (Russell 465).

He has spent most of his life in the dark, literally and figuratively: sleeping in coffins, drinking blood, aping the manner and style of those vampire tales the villagers told back during the Enlightenment. Not until he meets Magreb, his future wife, and she asks at what point he figured out "the blood did nothing" (p. 10), does the vampire begin to question the false narrative that he has been feasting on.

They searching for home and food for alternity plan that last forever. That is immortality of their relationship

Frighten with his true nature and change when he meets Magreb

Quotes and Explanation

“I blinked down at a little blond child and then saw that my two hands were shaking violently, soundlessly, like old friends wishing not to burden me with their troubles. I dropped the candies into the children’s bags, thinking: You small mortals don’t realize the power of your stories” (Russell 471).

One Halloween, after his relationship with Magreb has opened his eyes. he is faced with children dressed as vampire hunters, bedecked with necklaces of garlic

Quotes and Explanation

“‘I’m tired, Clyde.’

‘Don’t you want to know what happens?’ My voice is more frantic than I intend it to be.

‘I already know what happens’”(Russell 475).

Foreshadowing - Clyde and Magreb go to the cinema to watch a dracula movie; however, Magreb leave Clyde with a sentence “I already know what happen” and that is a kind of foreshadowing of Magreb know what is the nature of dracular which also vampire ....
