a. What challenges did you overcome throughout this story project? How did you go aboutovercoming these challenges? I took a lot of risks with this story, starting with second person POV. Second Person POV is a risky move as it is the rarest of the POVs in fiction, so readers […]
The afternoon sun shines through the window of your physics classroom as you walk in. You don’t particularly care where you sit, and there’s no arranged seating plan either, so you choose the table in the front and center of the room, close enough to the whiteboard that you don’t […]
Hello Everyone! In this blog post I will be researching ways to add symbolism to my story! So the main theme I want to go with is outer space and stars. The story takes place in a physics classroom so the theme of the cosmos works both on a literal […]
Hello everyone! Today I will be diving into some research for my story! My story’s main theme is loneliness. Loneliness is defined as the mental or emotional discomfort you may experience from either being alone or feeling as though you are alone.(1) Loneliness is a very subjective feeling, as people […]
Hello everyone! This is the general plot of my story, it contains significant spoilers so read at your own risk. Exposition: Who: Main Character: You, aka the reader/protagonist Supporting characters: Unnamed classmates Point of Attack: We know nothing about the protagonist other than that they are in high school, and […]
Ah, loneliness. A quintessential part of any high school experience. To feel like a star in the cosmos, like you could vanish and the earth, nay, the universe will continue to spin on, oblivious to your presence and absence. I plan to write a story about this very topic, because […]
Hello everyone! Sorry for the super late post, I couldn’t quite figure out some of the transitions but I’ve finally banged out the story! Flash In the colorful classroom of their kindergarten, Avery and Caris sit side by side at the art table, each with a small box of crayons. […]
Honestly this story was a little difficult, because it hit a bit close to home. I especially struggled with the “dreamscape” descriptions, the characters, and transitions and I don’t think I quite nailed the vibe I was going for, so I apologize for any confusion. Then again, this is also […]
Hello Everyone! Another aspect of my story deals with friendships, specifically friendship break-ups. Friends, defined as people attached to one another by affection or esteem, (1) are import figures in our lives. Friends offer each other emotional support, which includes listening without judging, validating your feelings, offering words of comfort […]
Hi everyone! My blog post may be a little jumpy, as one needs to know a little about a lot for my story. My story features landscapes in the subconsciousness, inspired by inside out(1). The mental figures and spaces, however, do not represent emotions, but parts of the brain. Two […]

Exposition: Who: Main Characters: The POV switches between Caris and Avery, but Avery would be the main character Supporting characters: Professor Moose, Lady Amaya, Tress, Adawnis, Galiena, Caris’s mom and […]
My story idea for this semester is a study on friends. SPOILER WARNINGS AHEAD As stated this will contain spoilers because this is my 5-minute rambling summary. The characters Avery and Caris are neighbors and best friends, until they go to different high schools. Avery finds a job coaching fencing […]
Hello everyone! My name Amy Zhang, or Zhang Aimi. One thing about me that surprises others is that my name has the same pronunciation and meaning in both the languages I speak. The meaning, in case you were wondering, is “loved by all around the world” which is slightly ironic considering […]
a. What challenges did you overcome throughout this story project? How did you go aboutovercoming these challenges? I experienced challenges like actually writing part of a speech for Faye to recite. I wanted to depict something realistically related to youth crime, and it was kind of hard to link youth […]
Smile as pretty as a poison apple Faye sat at her desk, scrolling through her presentation slides. It was the end of the semester, and the students of Law 12 had been assigned a semester-end presentation project based on what they learned. While bullying wasn’t directly in the curriculum, its […]
Moving onto some story specific facts! There are a lot, so this blog may be a little scattered. Heterochromia is when a person or animal has more than one eye color. (1) Heterochromia is relatively rare and is caused by a mutation in the gene that affects melanin, the pigment […]
Hello everyone, and welcome back to my blog post! Today, I have decided to focus on the more societally-relevant parts of my story rather than what makes my story unique, as this sets the foundation for what I will write in the future. Bullying, defined as the abuse and mistreatment […]

A studious wallflower in her school, she has a mischievous streak and is good at getting her way Bullies = people who have bullied […]

Blog Post #7: Reflectiona. What challenges did you overcome throughout this story project? How did you go aboutovercoming these challenges? As a Chinese immigrant like the subject of my story, I have a wide range of experiences that I struggled to fit into my story. Some chapters are longer, some […]
Two Minutes I Andy He is born as Andy Wang. Wang(王) – A common Chinese surname that meant “king” or “royalty”. Andy (安帝) – 安 (An) for平安 (peaceful) and 帝 (di) from the phrase 皇帝, meaning emperor. Safe to say, his parents had high hopes for him. He’s also one […]
This blog post is more focused on Andy’s social life, including school and friends. As stated in the last blog post, Andy has few friends due to prioritizing studying and grades. (1) This stems from his family being influenced by Confucianism, a series of teachings of the Chinese philosopher Confucius. […]
In this blog post, I will expand on some of the main themes in my story. This part specifically focuses on Andy’s parents’ parenting style and the effects on Andy, as well as how his “only child” status comes into play. Andy’s parents primarily use the Authoritarian Parenting style, the […]
Hello everyone, and welcome back to my story project! This post will have the rough outline for my story. So, instead of the traditional start-building-climax-falling-end type of story, I have decided that this story, which features themes like coming of age, bullying, teenage drama, and all the other things associated […]

Through telling a tale of first-generation and second-generation Chinese immigrants this will detail the hardships that Chinese face in Canadian society and their journey to the west.

a. What challenges did you overcome throughout this story project? How did you go about overcoming these challenges? A challenge I had was logic. For Kaya’s little flashback about Jun, I knew that Jun used an underhand tactic to get the gift that Kaya had given him, and which […]
“I got you something.” It was a chilly mid-winter afternoon, nearly 5 pm. The sun had set, and the once-aquamarine sky was slowly fading to sapphire. Two high schoolers stood at a Starbucks’s doors. Kaya and Hyuck were on their first date, a day after their unexpected but welcome confession. […]
Hello everyone, in this post I will be expanding on the latter half on my story and picking up where I left off. At the start of their gift exchanges, Kaya gives Jun a box of agates(1), and abalone shells (2). Jun notices a Geode (3) and re-gifts Kaya one […]
My project is a story of a young girl and her first experience with love and growing up. Short summary of my story: High Schoolers Kaya and Hyuck are on a date, but not all is as well as it seems. Exposition: The story starts with Kaya and Hyuck finishing their […]

a. What challenges did you overcome throughout this story project? How did you go about overcoming these challenges? I originally wanted to go with something more abstract and fictional but decided instead to retell the interesting experiences of someone in real life. It was kind of a struggle to get them to remember the details, and we […]
Miri rummaged through her backpack anxiously. It was a sunny afternoon on Thursday August 4th. Miri and quite a few other teenagers were currently in a classroom attending Summer School, which ran from 12: 00 pm to 3: 30 pm on weekdays. Normally Miri would be paying attention to the […]

Here’s my story outline: Exposition: Main Character/Protagonist = Miri, a high schooler currently in her summer school classroom. Careless but stubborn and innovative. Point of Attack/Problem: Miri needs to get inside her house, but she forgot her keys and her mom – who is not coming back until around two […]
So… This is my second brainstorm session. During my first one I stared at the screen for five minutes and came up with nothing since whatever I wrote seemed too religious and complicated. I’ve decided to write about a real event involving a real person, with the names in the […]
