When you hear the word "writing", you think of English and essays, because English = Essays = Pain = Failure = Quitting = Living with your parents = No Life. = No Excitment. But there is more to writing. A lot of the movies you watch are all done by creative writers who make plots and skits for the audience's enjoyment. They make up these stories or re-write written stories to make it into an original and perhaps better so that the people of today will have interest in it. For example, black history month has just past and no one is interested enough to take the moment to watch movies about segregation and slaves and 1960 something and people with afros. Especially the movies where the narrator is narrating in a monotone and you scream "WHEN WILL THIS END?!" But I'm sure you'll be interested if the movie was about something that draws the audience's attention such as:
Once upon a time in 1951, there was a tribe of colored people with one light skinned individual named Annakiya. Everyone respects each other and calls each other brothers and sisters. But then one day the tribe is captured by the U.S., tied in chains and taken on ships to sail to a land they have never been before. When they reach American soil, they are bided off and each are taken to a plantation to work in the heat plowing fields and digging holes. Everyone, including Annakiya are treated poorly, being shoved, hit and beaten by the end of the day. At one of the plantations, a slave master's son, Wiliam finds Annakiya and sets her free on one condition: she becomes his wife. Annakiya consults her African friends on what to do and they encourage her to do whatever her heart tells her. She decides to marry Wiliam, but months after (1 week before the wedding) she learns that Wiliam's father plans to bury the Africans in the holes they have dug alive. She calls off the wedding, but Wiliam disapproves of her decision and begs her to stay. She ignores his plead and chases after her friends. When she gets there, she discovers that she is too late. She then realizes that she has no choice but to marry her former fiance.. On the day of the wedding, she goes through hard times as she thinks of her now deceased friends. During the vows, she yet again calls off the wedding, runs down the isle in her dress and to the area on which her friends have been murdered. She digs aa hole and Wiliam shows up behind her. She tells him, "help me dig and then bury me, or take me with you and I'll drown myself." He takes the shovel and digs the hole. Right as Annakiya is about to get in she looks at him and says "I'm going home." She falls into the hole and he recovers it with dirt, and then sits down, crying to himself.
(I took the time to WRITE that in order to make this blog seem longer, and I must say, I'm pretty satisfied with the way it came out, whoop whoop!) That is a story in my opinion I wouldn't mind watching in English class or any class. Writing helps you release emotions you never thought was there and turn it into something people love like Home Alone, Madea, Pirates of the Caribbean, Titanic, Hannah Montana the Movie and Step Up. Someone has to write the story line you know, and it could be you. Take the book I use:
