” A virginal heart has it’s own logic” to me it means a pure an innocent heart with many random thoughts. Things that one assume.
We shared our “Letter to the Past” with some of our mates. It was kind of contradicting as Mister L told us to protect the page with a password. So in the end I removed the password and made it PUBLIC. I was holding back my tears when i read it out. But when i wrote it, tears came rolling down like a non-stop waterfall. To my surprise, none of the mates cried. Everyone was holding back and acting tough i must say.
We have learnt in class the 3rd storytelling tool: Memory
- Your memory is a wonderful cabinet of past incidents which you have experienced or been told.
- Write what you do not know because you will find some part of you that does know.
Sounds profound huh? But actually it is simple. For example, you are writing a script of a person buying a watch and giving ridiculous specifications and all, out of the blue you realize that your mum did the same thing previously when you accompanied her to the shop. It is like a trigger to ‘refreshen’ up your past memories deep inside of you.
So what’s the difference between memory and experience?
Well, a memory can be a made up of things that people told you and you thought about it again and again. Thus your mind made it up as your memory. Somehow alittle fake i guess! Experience is something that you really really encounter it before – a practical physical contact of an particular event. They are somehow again similar in certain ways. Die! I don’t know how to explain it.
Memories can use to build creative content and develop a very interesting story. It will be more realistic as you can really pen down your thoughts and feelings in a more descriptive way, thus the audience are able to understand how the writer felt at the point time.
A good story begin with self!!
