Pupils Glimpse an Idea, Teacher Gets a Gold Star

By ANNE BERNAYS

Richard Harland's Writing Tips

 Below all of this, the lake, and in the lake, a perfect reflection of the heights above.  Here, even in the intangible mirror, you can see your hero, scaling the depths of the reflection -- the echo of the outer world.  Here below, in perfect symmetry to the tangible plot above, is the hero’s inner journey.  The story.  Here is where we find our premise.

Screenwriting: The Dual Landscape of Plot and Story by Robin Catesby


I am an art piece

I feel art in my hair,

I wonder about the world of art,

I wish to fly in the sky,

I hear voices of art,

I see art,

I am an art piece.

 

I touch the paint I feel,

I worry that I will get taken off the wall,

I understand that people have their own world of art,

I pretend I am a swan,

I cry that people don't have imagination,

I am an art piece.
 

I want people to gaze and use their creative side,

I try to find a bright side to life,

I say to life we can have a creative side,

I dream of dancing on clouds,

I am an art piece.

Anon ENPS student.
