Please help me in completing my project. I have to write a story which begins like this.. "Ron, the son of poor widow, was not good at...

Every good story must have a plot, conflict, and
resolution. Start by asking yourself some
questions.


  • Who is Ron? How old is he? What does
    he look like? Who's his best friend? Who's his enemy? What does he excel at? Why isn't
    he good at studies? What secret does he have? (Every interesting character usually has
    one secret.) What's his greatest wish?

  • How did his father
    die?

  • How poor is
    he?

Try to add a few literary devices, simile,
hyperbole, personification, especially ones you really
like.


Remember to describe things, not tell them. For
example, don't say Ron hated math. Try something like this: Ron flipped through the
pages. The numbers jumped out at him like predators in the night. Beads of sweat began
collecting on his brow until the Mississippi was flowing down his cheeks. No, he would
not master algebra, he thought. If people only knew he wanted to a ____, perhaps math
wouldn't seem so important.


It might be easier for you to
write as if you are one of the characters in the story, appearing as
"I."


Good luck! You can do it!
