English Assignment: Does a 'true story' need to really be a true story?

Question

The assignment question is:
'Often in life things do not turn out as we expected them. Recount an experience that
you have had where you have been surprised by the outcome.'

Well I had already started a finished a full assignment not reading this thinking it could be based on anything, and I have wrote about being landed on an island and having to surrive, in the end I meet people on the deserted island and live there. Not 100% finished but its going to be impossible to say this is something that happened to me personally. But does it need to be?

I would re-write it but it needs to be handed in tomorrow, and I have tons of other work to do.

Answer 1

Every story is based upon a true story of the author's inquisition. Also it is in the writing of it one may experience a mysticism that tells a tale of its own, embodiment of a truth you can share irrevelant of your personal plight , but convolved with the very concern of your mortal soul. Do not belittle what it means to be human and it shall not disavow a testament of greater living within your storied efforts. Truth in fiction reveals far more the reality we experience than any exposition or account of a non-fictional work. Just as Goldielocks chose the 'littler chair', we can espouse the literature too! Be careful and do not mind your own spirit, but keep it of a merciful and compassionate accord with something far greater than a single arbitrary human life. Good luck, too. Ah...I share...writers speak in peoples---they don't bestow rites peaking in peep-holes---that's for journalism. We are a rare breed, this human kind.For further mystical writing history, check out the nine muses of the Greek's mythology and ponder the wonder in the periodic table of the elements. (note I am crazy).

Answer 2

Eh... It's a difficult one. In general, stories that "happened to you" have not actually happened to you. It's simply a work of fiction, with "I" put in, instead of "s/he". They do have to be believeable, however.



With this one... Landing on an island and having to survive is a very difficult to claim as a true story. You'd have to be an incredibly good liar, with plenty of detail, for it to stand any chance of coming off. It should also be for less than 2 days if you really choose to do it.



In general, however, I'd advise against it. If it's just for a class assignment, it should be good enough to hand up (possibly with an explanation at hand as to what you thought the assignment was truly about). For an exam, I'd have something else prepared if I were you.

Answer 3

Yes, it must be a true story( or a believeable made up story), and she will probably make you rewrite it anyway and take off points for it being wrong and ending up late. So honestly, think back to the simplest thing you could write about, or make up something believable like a cousin who used condoms and birth control and still wound up prego (which happened to my cousin), or maybe you thought your mom would be happy over a gift, but instead she didn't seem to like it (a bird necklace or something).

Answer 4

i imagine they make reliable pets and it really is large you rescued yours. My difficulty is often with those who breed them and many that purchase them as pets and really do not understand what they are doing. they regularly require C-sections at delivery and health complications are consumer-friendly. I pronounced a surprising lady at our interior sight protect who grow to be became in by ability of an proprietor who couldn't cope including her persistent hypersensitive reactions and poor sores on her ft that needed consistent remedy. a touch study might want to have advised that proprietor that those might want to be intense priced canines to save wholesome. I always difficulty at the same time as particular breeds get in demand. English bulldogs have that problem in the present day. not the canines' fault.

Answer 5

I'm not sure how you managed to misunderstand that assignment, it's quite clear.



It depends on your teacher, really. They might be willing to accept your work, despite the fact that you haven't done what they asked, but I wouldn't count on it.
