Now
write your own, modernised fractured version of your chosen fairy tale type,
keeping
only the basic essence of it the same. You can
create a new plot twist and unexpected
characters. Your fractured fairy tale must include
a modern setting. Interpret the theme
in the context of today’s world. You can also give
it a new title.
Choose one fairy tale type (available through Ashliman (2022) from the following list then
answer the three questions that follow:
· The Bear
Trainer and His Cat
· Catarinetta
· Peacock
Plumes
This is a creative task, so there is much room for
your own interpretation. However,
please observe the following restrictions:
· Your modernised, fractured fairy
tale must be based on one of the traditional stories
from the list provided in Section 1 above and take
place today (i.e. in the last fifty
years). Has to be set within the last 50 years!
· It does not have to be suitable
for children, although you may write with a children’s
audience in mind. Please be mindful of your
identified audience.
· Plan your story carefully. You
must show plot development – that is, a beginning,
rising action, climax and resolution. Pace is
important.
· While the assignment requires
you to fracture’ a traditional story, you may keep
certain common characteristics the same.
· Note that the assignment is
testing not only your creative writing skills, but your
understanding of the genre as well.
