Does anyone know of any good short stories that relate to Change or Changing self?? That i could possibly include in a stimulus booklet??

If you can help I'd appreciate it

Sally Morgan's My Place
Uhm for 3u we're doin short stories and there's quite a few in there that could relate to changing self. The author's Alistair MacLeod and the title's "Lost Salt Gift of Blood"

They are both good for change and changing self, but what i'm looking for is a short story similar in length to 'sky high'...

The teacher wants a physical stimulus booklet..

 

[InfiniteQ]

Omg how annoying... hmm what if you pick a bit out of a book? Because seriously that short piece is written as if it's been picked out of a novel.

 

[Jawsh]

Got any suggestions??

I'm more of a film geek than a novel reader

i'd do fahrenheit 451, but we already studied it preliminary..

You can still use that you know.... you're allowed to use prelim stuff.

 

[Jawsh]

Not with our teacher... i carried over the same teacher from prelim to hsc and i'll lose marks for 'Not being original enough' ... so that's why i'm sort of up a creek so to speak.

Why don't you go down to your local library and borrow a monster book of short stories? There's bound to be a suitable one in there .

What about kids stories? Little kids stories are pretty short & there'll be something there about changing self for sure.

 

[Jawsh]

go, dog, go by dr. seuss would be perfect for that...

it's surprisingly deep... a lot of underlying motif's i could relate back to my prescribed texts...

have a look at Roald Dahls book
"Someone like you" its full of short stories that have a twist (change)

Gwen Harwood has some really good stories for changing self.
