Reading Notes: Turkish Folktales and Fairy Tales, Part A

Reading the Turkish Folktales and Fairy Tales was interesting but seemed unfinished to me. Each story had an odd ending and sometimes odd plots which makes it a little difficult when deciding what my story will be about. The first story, Turkish: Fear, is probably my favorite when referring to the first half of the assignment. If I had to choose what I was going to write about right now it would most likely be based on that story. It was thrilling at times and intriguing when the youth (the main character) could not seem to experience fear. Fear is what he was seeking out the whole time and in various suspenseful scenarios he was unable to feel afraid. This plot gave me a few ideas to write about relating to a smaller character. My first idea would have a weaker main character, maybe a mouse, that is brave and sets off to find a challenge. Each challenge is accomplished by this small character whom in the end might be defeated by something out of the blue. Or my second idea was that I could write about a group of kids playing truth or dare. In this situation there could be this runt of a kid taking on dares left and right as if they were nothing. Lastly, my third idea was as simple as a young character just trying to get rid of their hiccups. In order to do that the main character’s family all take turns trying to scare the hiccups out of him/her. In the end it would possibly be the most pesky thing that finally got rid of them. All ideas seem vague enough for me to build up from here. I will say this might be a harder story for me to write so I am already nervous to see how it turns out.
