My story, The Strange Tale of Doctor Dog has no definite message. In fact, when I first read it I was sure it had NO message. However, I believe that the main message in the story is not to trust a magical dog, since they will steal your daughter to marry them. Just kidding...I think the real message in the story is to always hope for the best, and good will come out of bad situations. I'd explain why in this paragraph, but my second pargraph will be very short, so I'll post it there.
Now, the message (always hope for the best...) is primarily due to several reasons. For one, in the story a character is sick. The character believes she will die (who wouldn't?). Her father does not. So, he gets a magical, scary dog to cure her. You must admit, the father must be VERY hopeful if he's willing to let a dog (a big, scary one at that..) heal his daughter, am I right? Also, after she is kidnapped, he knows she will return to him (with hope, of course).
As for the lesson in MY story, it will be the same. Always stay hopeful, always wish for the best, blah blah blah. Well, the message in my story is kind of forced...No matter how much I change my story (even if I make Chien a human, make the daughter a boy, and make the father a girl, or make them all living under a bridge with flies), hope will always be a part of it seeing as bad things will happen no matter what.
Chinese symbol for hope.
That's it for this blog. Remember, always have hope so that bad situations can turn into good ones!
Have a nice day =D
I think your story has a great message... Once again, very detailed. Good job!
ReplyDeleteYour posts are very well descriptive but maybe don't put so much of yourself into your blog. I mean it's good that you do and speak your mind, but when you say little things like "blah blah blah", and the "just kidding", it is as if you don't really care about it. The blog is great but when you say those things, then you make others feel the same way.
ReplyDeleteGreat job though. Don't take it the wrong way just exclude yourself because it is a distraction to what you are trying to say. Keep up the good word and see you next class period.
Have a nice day :)
Y'know, I was thinkin' the same thing, Haley. Sometimes when I reread my blogs, it seems more like I'm trying to have a conversation than explain anything, really.
ReplyDeleteIf you notice, in a few of my posts I try my best NOT to comment (yet I still do...) it's primarily because along with writer I sometimes want others to know what I'm thinking (I love expressing my feelings, even though I'm shy/quiet. Weird, huh?)
Well, thanks for saying my blog is great =/
Have a nice day.
