Ideas for a mock epic? It's supposed to be something mundane and trivial that we do every day, be funny, and last 4-5.
It's also supposed to model the writing style of the Odyssey. I know how to write one, I just don't know what to write about that will be clever and last 4 pages :P
Could you give me an example of one
Our example was the rape of the lock, by Alexander Pope. It's about this guy who sneaks into his girlfriend's room and cuts a little lock from her hair. It was blown way out of proportion, and pretty funny. Another was about a girl who kept trying to get a pizza after school
Getting to school in the morning could be a mundane and trivial epic. Treat finding your socks as the golden fleece, the busdriver as a cyclops, the girls on the bus as sirens...
hmmm... that might work...
the school day itself could make another, bullies, friends, dinner ladies(Im tellin you they watch you eat, scary stuff) teachers, thinking about food in classs
Yeah, that might work too. Lunch or getting ready... so far my best ideas were about using the bathroom and finding no toilet paper :)
lol, that could be added to phillips idea, infact you could use all of them
