Short Story
25pts Due Friday 9/26
Now that you have a good understanding of motif, you must experience what it is like to create your own. Your assignment is to write a short story about a topic of your choice and include one of the following motifs. This means it will be a reoccurring idea throughout your story and add to the meaning of the story as a whole. For example, the sight motif in Oedipus the King and “The Minority Report” reflects the metaphorical blindness of the main characters.
Motifs:
Ears/sound/hearing
Nose/smell
Cold/ice
Heat/fire
Green
Red
Blue
Water
