Writing: Imaginative Storytelling.
Course: Creative Writing
Word: 350 words
Assignment Overview
It has made us the scholars of this art, and we recognize that one of the most effective instruments that a writer has is setting. And not simply in being identified in a given local or temporal context, the setting is itself a type of character, and functions as an atmospheric effect, altering decisions, or even dictating narrative action. In this exercise, the setting will be a crucial element of the brief story, in which the setting is used to determine the outcomes of the plot, characters, and theme.
Instructions
Write a short story of about 350 words, predicting the setting, to some extent, which will cause the development of the plot. The setting may be a geographical location, a date, or a certain socio-cultural location. The story is expected to denote the role played by the environment in determining the character, the world inside, as well as the choices that the protagonist makes.
The setting you want to choose is entirely a matter of your preference: a stormy seaside village, a large city at night, a small country village, a projected society in the future, or some historic bifurcation such as a military battle or a festival. Nevertheless, it need not be a descriptive tableau, but must (or must be) capable of establishing mood or tension or struggle with which the plot may be motivated.
First, in your prose, consider sensorial description, visual consequences, sounds, the recourse to descriptions of smell, touch, and atmospheric particularities so that the setting becomes as real and descriptive as possible. Right, think how much the arrangement affects the mind and action: the deserted field may be traversed as desolate, the marketplace in preparation for joy or dismay.
In the limited number of words you can have, your story must include a clear beginning, the middle, and the ending. An effort to create one of the leading characters and a slight crisis or climax that the surroundings would directly impact.
