Post #11- Checklist for life...

This is your final blog.  Sile N'Bhron dies at the hands of Cleake, and The Detective dies another death.  He isn't killed by Cleake, unless he wants to be.  In your last post make sure that you leave your reader with something to think about--other than, "I have no idea what that story was about.." In a post-modern world, answers are least easy to come by and life is complicated and stranger by the minute.  Take time to think about all the stories that you've read in class and try to write by metaphorically looking over your shoulder at the great masters of literature.  Ask yourself the following questions:
1) Does my character develop along, as Flannery O'Conner says, "spiritual lines"?
2) Is there a startling event that is oddly completely fitting for your story line?
3) What conflict, internal or external, does your character grapple with and is that conflict resolved?
4) Do you have a happy ending or a fitting ending?
5) Have you shown us the character by actions, thoughts and relationships rather than tell us about the character?
6) How well have you incorporated the "master blog" items, events and characters into your blog?
7) Literature is about the well-imagined story; make yours one, too.

Post #10

Write your blog so that you have incorporated a prime number into the post in some way.  Remember, this is your next-to-last post. The final one must incorporate one of the two deaths in the blog.  Sile must die at hands the of Cleake in blog #11, and some how the The Dectective must also die. Did I mention that #11 is your final blog?  In the coming days, you should work on revisions of your previous posts. Good luck, have fun and be creative--at all cost.
