Creativity & Fiction
Craft a piece of FAN fiction related to any of the reading we’ve done in class that addresses one or more of the following:
Literary elements (i.e. structure, tone, diction, mood, irony, and figurative language) to craft a narrative.
Structural features of drama (stage directions, character attributions/tags, dialogue, monologues, and/or soliloquies) to craft a script.
Multidimensional characters to develop themes and create socio-political metaphors.
But there is something that provoked my interest throughout our talk: He said he can see the future, how the world ends, every living being’s actions, and so on. He is bored beyond life, yet he is out here collecting and protecting his precious gold. What is the point of collecting gold when you know it will be worthless? Wouldn’t it be more worthwhile with his ability to make a change in the world as a challenge? However, he told me he would rather count his gems. I couldn’t believe that he would continue to bore himself. To him, everything is worth nothing to him, yet only his gem would keep him in tack.
Is it because to me I have the excitement of fighting and killing humans that I’m never bored? Maybe that is indeed so. The feeling is like giving me the adrenaline rush every time I get in conflict with the humans. What if I suddenly were to lose this excitement? What else will there be for me to feel? I think what he is trying to get across to me is to keep myself distracted by other things like gold to prevent myself from violent ways. He wants me to become materialistic to cope with my existential despair. Nonsense! How can I abandon the only pleasure left in this meaningless world? But why did he bless him with immunity to all weapons……
