Adrian Colon Colon 1 Ms.Otter Creative Writing 8 May, 2017 Short Story Process Essay The main idea of my story is about a young boy who didn't have his parents growing up, but still changes the people he has met among his journey and their perspective on how they see the world. The theme that my short teaches is "no matter the struggle, never give up". Many movies and manga series inspired my story. For example, Naruto the movies and the manga series because my story is basically about the same thing. There are five characters in my story, Nato, Kiskea, Hashi, Azuba, and Ruku. The settings of my story are Helheim and Asgard or Hell and Heaven. The climax of my story is When Hashi traps Azuba in a coffin and is about to kill him with his lightning blade and Ruku jumps in the way and kills him instead of Azuba. The resolution is when Nato sees Ruku has taken the punishment instead of Azuba, Nato asks him what did he mean to you? And makes Azuba shed tears for once and Azuba says "your words cut deeper than a sword". Helheim isn't really considered Hell, but between Heaven and Hell which shows where someone could go after they have the right path after doing bad things. As I was writing the story new ideas didn't come because I had wrote a story on this several months ago, but it was never completed until I actually had to write the short story. So really I borrowed ideas from the previous uncompleted version. What surprised me when I read the story aloud to my group, it soun ded very different from what I pictured. My group taught my story to be really good because we all have watched Naruto and are watching Naruto once more of how good it is. So when I was reading my story everyone had an idea of what I was going to say next. Well in my first group I changed up some of the fighting scenes because they said it was kind of confusing. When I changed that up and presented it to my second group they thought it was very good and we also liked how we could all bond over my story because we all knew what was going on.
