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!
