Violence in a Creative Writing About Belonging?? (1 Viewer)

[JimmyMack]

I was going to write a story about a kid who gets bullied, and decides to join a karate gym. He learns karate and then he beats the bully up. Thats the vauge idea of the story. Have you had violence in your short storey and if u did, how did it go? Thanks

The violence part of this story isn't what I would be worried about...

This story sounds very cliche and predictable....

 

[JimmyMack]

yeah i agree, ive changed my story to something not too cliche. Thanks mate

Anyway, violence shouldn't be a problem, as long as you do it correctly (ie. not too much of it)

Violence is fine. Drugs are fine. Sex is fine. Words like Shit, Fuck, Cunt are fine.

Write whatever you think will show and understanding of belonging, and get you good marks

It's essentially Karate Kid without Mr. Miyagi

Ive decided to go with a more reader-friendly idea. No more Mr Miyagi

you don't totally have to abandon violence, it would be good to describe, just think of something a bit more original relating to violence haha :]

My school is very cautious in terms of violence, sex, drugs, alcohol, and any sort of expletives dominating the creative writing. That being said they don't restrict it from being included in the story; just be sure not to overwhelm your story with descriptive notions of how someone's being punched in the guts or something.

Be wary of the cliches, also. I know teachers constantly tell us to base our story from our own experiences (with that being said, as teenagers we really haven't experienced amazing adventures or far-away journeys, and thus stem our creativity from the ideas and concepts already present in texts). Try and think of something different, perhaps not the plot line; but maybe the context or even the perspective. Being a History student, most of my creative writing stories are set in some Ancient would (positive benefits for you, gives you an interesting plot and story and also reinforces your knowledge of History ~two birds one stone!).

Yeah, if you overdo it, they're obligated to refer you to a councilor. HSC rules.

I made an amazingly twisted story in the SC hoping they would council me for a laugh.
It didn't happen....
