1 - Plot - Week 1- Rising Action

 Instructions from coursera:

Write a scene of 250-350 words featuring a character with one concrete want (a table, a moose, a toothbrush, anything physical is fine!) and one weakness. Use these two features to drive the action of the plot. Set up the story where every other sentence is a rising action. To help you come up with rising actions, use one word from the following list of twelve words in each sentence that has a rising action. In other words: Write your first sentence introducing your character. Make the next sentence a rising action using one of the following twelve words. Write your third sentence, which may introduce the weakness, then write your fourth sentence with a rising action that includes one of the remaining eleven words you haven’t used. And so on.

You must use at least 6 of the 12 words, but you are encouraged to challenge yourself to use as many of the words as possible while still meeting the word count. Title: The dream land

He was a small bird inside a cage of an old lady. He was in love of a white crow. His memory was not good for all the years inside. She arrives all mornings in front of his window, doing tricks around an old oak. The bird try to make the same tricks inside the cage but he could only pretend, there was no space.

 

A morning the crow arrive with a carrot in the pick to offer his friend, he saw it and with no hesitation explode on tears.  The filthy window was no barrier for the crow to see his old friend cry and start chanting a mantra: “The tiger does not fit into the cage, but in the rings of fire shines”. The bird then stops crying and decide to aboard a new adventure, the dream of be with his friend.

 

At the next morning the bird wakes up really early to make the appliance to set himself free.
