Question

Easy medal and fan

Can someone please help me think of an idea for a short story where the main character learns a lesson or goes through a change. "Write a short story about a main character who undergoes a change or learns something"

Answer 1

Answer 2

Non-Fiction, then, right?

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

A trophy sat on Brennan's shelf. Three months ago, Brennan was so shy and that at a point, he didn't even want to go outside. His father noticed Brennan's behavior and signed him up for music class(es), as he knew Brennan was good at singing and playing the acoustic guitar.

A week passed and Brennan was sitting in music class when his teacher, Ms. Malore announced there's going to be a competition. Brennan entered, auditioned, got in, and won. When he won, the competitor, Jennifer, who got second place congratulated him and he was so caught up in the moment that he looked at her and said "I don't need your jealousy, loser."

After he won the competition his ego immediately erupted. His cousins moved into town and one of his cousins, Josh, was exactly like Brennan a month ago. Shy and insecure. Brennan with his bubbled up ego ignored Josh.

Josh was also very good musician, and they were in the same music class. Another competition came, and both of them entered. Josh won, Brennan came second. Brennan was expecting Josh to do the exact same thing he did to Jennifer. Instead, Josh congratulated Brennan for his amazing talent, accepted his trophy, and said, "I'm really proud of myself, and you should be proud of yourself too. You did great." From then on, Brennan popped his ego, taught himself and Josh how to be confident yet not conceited, and they became the best of friends.

Answer 6

im not even sure if thats a good portrayal, but something similar happened to a friend of mine so i was like ok this might work but if it didnt then thats obviously okay lmao

Answer 7

Wow youre amazing you pretty much wrote the whole story lol. Thank you so much XD

Answer 8

But @Brookeisbubz wouldn't that be hard to fit into a short story?

Answer 9

That's what I was thinking, but then it's only a couple paragraphs. A teacher would probably like a bit of a medium sized story? I'm not sure.

Answer 10

i dont think so. it doesnt say how long it has to be but ill try to add on some things. thanks again brookeisbubz

Answer 11

It takes place over the course of a few days (at least) which seems hard to fit into a story if you're not familiar with writing and your writing style.

Answer 12

Do you write often @moudown828

Answer 13

aw no problem hahaaa. any time.

Answer 14

@ManImStumped True, but quality over quantity if that saying goes in this particular situation

Answer 15

no i dont. im not really good at it :/ its hard for me

Answer 16

just let your imagination run through, without any llamas talking lol.

Answer 17

If you write it in the style @Brookeisbubz wrote it, you'd do fine, since it is sorta an impersonal third point of view. If you want the feelz, then it would take longer.

Answer 18

But it is a very good idea for a story.

Answer 19

yea it really is. ill try to make more complex sentences and maybe make it a page or maybe a page and a half

Answer 20

Yeah lol the feels always take a while, I was thinking of bEING brennan in that situation but then I realized in @moudown828s question it said write about the main character not be the main charactar. anyways, i hope you get a good grade! you can do it lol

Answer 21

Yea, when you're done, you can post it here of the writing side and get it edited if you feel you need it. Good luck and have fun :)

Answer 22

Yeah! whenever you're done just paste it here and it can get edited or you could get some tips

Answer 23

@Brookeisbubz thanks a lot. if you need help with anything let me know :D

Answer 24

@ManImStumped thanks itll probably need some editing lol
