i have to write a story in my creative writing class that has to be like a broken home type deal thing but i have a little problem
i've never been in that situation. my parents are happily married and there is nothing majorly bad happing in my home life.
i have a week to write a 5 or more page story about something i've never had a problem with.
if anyone has that issue or know a lot about what it feels like to live in a broken home i would love some help.
i just can't imagine what it would be like and i wan't my story to be as close to the real thing as possible. |

Surely you've had your parents argue with you, or you've argued with your parents! Think about how it felt. Did it feel terrible? What were your siblings reaction? Yours?
Now, intensify the feelings. You probably know basic emotions such as fear, loneliness, betrayal, maybe not from home, but from another place. You probably know what it feels like to be belittled, or worse, ignored. Like I said, maybe not from home, but from other places. Analyze your feelings and reactions.
Now, put those feelings from fear and loneliness from the other places and insert them to your home life. Rearrange your characters so they are put under situations of fear, betrayal, and mistrust. Then run loose.
It's kind of hard to get yourself in the other characters' shoes, but once you do, you may be surprised about the results.
Good luck! |
