Why should the position of the discovery affect the quality of the story?

That's what I would think haha, but some teachers say that they should be able to tell that the story is about discovery right from the start :/

Doesn't mean the discovery itself has to be at the start.

I set the atmosphere for discovery at the start; not the actual discovery itself

wow i have never been more devo, i'm down with a fever and a cold, i can't study properly... my hsc oral and trials are in like 1wk...

Sorry to hear that, try and talk to your jap teacher about it and make the best of the situation.

Hope you get well soon

i cbb posting in english because its a short question

Does the creative need to have the character have a happily ever after? If my character simply realises something that's a form of discovery right? Does it need to be resolved?

 

[Orwell]

My teacher told me no when I asked a similar question, so, no.

Why is it always happily ever after?

That doesn't exist... life goes on, there's no magic wand (except for money) that can poof away all of your problems (and there are problems that money can't solve...).

Personally, I would end the story with a massive time leap to when the character is of old age...

What if the discovery is a massively provocative discovery?

But don't make it so bad that it highlights the doom and gloom of the actual marker staring at his/her pile of 100 or so papers lol

i didnt consider that, yea i guess thats an example of one

lmao thats actually pretty unique to make a creative about a marker
could make him/her hate his life

Guys if the creative writing stimulus has a statement in 1st person, can we change it to 3rd person in our cw?

pretty sure you can

you don't need to refer to the statement directly, you can write around it
