creative writing (1 Viewer)

I really don't like my story idea. It's about this adopted girl who goes back to the country where she came from, and even though she looks like everyone, she can't understand them, nor they her because of the language barriers.
It's just the idea, and I've been doing all these practices, adapting it around different stimulus, but i still find faults in it everywhere.
It got a 12/15 for the trials, and my teacher keeps telling me that it's good, but I'm just not happy with it.
Any ideas?

Seems very cliche to me nubling. How about putting a twist on it, i.e make her a Jew entering 1941 Germany.

Unless you include incredibly sophisticated language in your writing and you have 'flair' then you will never achieve 14-15. It's just how it works. You should be happy with a 12, most people can't get above 10s and 11s. Creative writing is the place where i feel most top students lose marks, i mean those who can write really good essays in the other sections.

heyy that sounds like a really good story line. shows belonging heaps
is it written in past/present tense? first/second/third person? maybe change one of them if it's bugging you.. but plotwise i reckon it'd be good

OR, be creative during the exam and use the stimulus to actually stimulate something new. That's the idea of it. Not to just go in with a prepared piece.

But always remember to put in the unexpected twist.

well if your not happy with it, u can always give it to me, I got 8/15 for the creative... now why does it matter if you don't like it? creative writing sucks...

i think you've got a brilliant story idea OP.

perhaps focus on the different settings and highlight how different they are to the adopted girl. Good descriptions, dialogue and flair should do it.

Man I wish I could get 12/15 .... I would be ecstatic - my average is like 7's or 8's for english.

That sounds like a really good writing idea - wish I could think of something like that

Good Luck to everyone xx

I get an average of 13/15 for my creative responses.

I say this is a brilliant plot, though as post 3 said, language and flare is going to need to be made your bitch.
