For the second half of the story I decided to focus more on
the Siren’s Isle. I found them intriguing on how they could draw someone in
with their singing and beautiful looks and then possibly kill the victim. How
haunting and luring they are, yet so mysterious it draws a person in. These
mermaid-creature’s characteristics remind me of a group who is portrayed as
fake, beautiful, intimidating, yet admirable. My incorporation of the Siren’s will
probably be a cliché group of popular girls who are pretty, conniving,
dangerous, and manipulative. Because of the main character (Odysseus) winning
the fight against his bully (the cyclops) he is seen as some underdog hero that
suddenly became noticed. These girls plan to use their words and actions to
draw the main character of my story off course of his mission to ask the girl
to the high school’s event.
Further on throughout the story the main character ends up
getting a call to the principal’s office because of another student reporting
the fight that occurred earlier that day. The consequences could avert him from
even going to the event which would prevent him on making his move to ask the
girl of his interest to the dance. At this moment in the story, I wonder if he
will even get to go to the dance. If he does get to go to the dance, how would
he get out of the consequences the principal gave him?
