Instructions provide by Coursera
Write a story (up to 1,000 words) following the ABDCE structure that includes at least one full scene. Also, your story should have at least TEN sentences of rising action.
After your story, along with your submission, ask two specific questions of your readers. Think back to the 21-point checklist. Within the time and logistic constraints of Coursera, we can't follow all the best practices of writing and revision, but as you work through your assignments and especially as you write beyond these courses, keep them in mind.
Example questions you can ask your readers could be: “What did you think of my main character’s actions?” Or : “Were there any parts that seemed confusing or hard to follow?”
As you end this course with your reader feedback, process it and see if it makes sense. Consider the feedback as you move through other courses in the Specialization, and your writing in general.
The reporter of the paranormal activity finally had it done. After many years of fake or unreal interviews he had all the proofs that need it. He was about to interview an extra human. - Daisy! Prepare the camera! tonight in the Hotel Ambassador at downtown we are going to interview at Mister Ferninand. - Are you joking, right? How come you get a rich folk like that even receive us? I am mean I am preparing noodles in a bag; we cannot even afford the normal package. - I receive an email from him. He explains that he is an extra human. - Extra human, sorry Ian I am not following you. - Okey, … so this is a new concept, so it is okey. Oh well, it is not new “new”, but it is not popular because it does not sound catchy at all. - Well, there are these guys just like vampires, but they are not vampires. - So, they do not drink blood. - No, they just have like a big lifetime, like over 150, 300 or 450. They always stay at a certain age, maybe 50s or 40s or whatsoever. - And our guy Ferninand is an extra human and is pretty old. She replied with an awkward smile. - I am not sure, but I am going to ask him, so let’s prepare everything for our interview. She though he was an idiot. - You are an idiot. He was an idiot indeed, but an idiot with proactiveness. - Yes, I know. - What are you planning to do? How are you going to prove he is that old? Daisy was very intrigue but was anxious and disappoint of his dumb partner Ian. He has always been like this. Daisy was a part timer at a café in the morning, in the afternoon attend a few classes at uni and in the night, but specially on weekends she was helping her dumb friend. She was hard working, smart for life but to seat and start reading or doing math was not a favorite task to do. She was on medicine when start the university but after a few years and her father die, she changed for a major in communications. Her dream is to have a nationwide podcast. In the other hand Ian was a brilliant man, at least in academics. He was a good student during high school, after that he attend the university at graduate on Journalism. He made great jobs reporting corruption on the local government and a fraud of students. He likes the heavy stuff, he gained an internship at a big company and escalated for a couple of years internally, but before his 25-birthday decided to quit and follow his passion the paranormal activity. He creates the company Stranger Inc. A news company that is always talking about strange things happening on the city. He hired Daisy as a part timer, some weeks have tons of work, some weeks they go to a wedding and take photos and record for gaining a few bucks. Ian start explaining to Daisy. -See this guy give me some money in advance and also provided a few pictures of him of when camera start existing. It seems pretty legit. I am going to ask him personal things, how he has managed and more. - Ian, pay me a lot of attention and I am going to asked you the following questions. If everything is real, why he wants this? - Do not know - Ian, are you sure he is not going to kill us? - Naaahhh I do not think so - Ian, are you sure he is not an excentric millionaire that his mind went cucu and just want to use us as distribution list for his bullshit -Well, maybe - Ian final question. Do not you think he has a political or business reason to start this for threating someone else. - I have think that about it, I search the most of him. Does not have any new projects in actions neither recent enemy. He has had some troubles with the major and with a few other rich people regarding some properties, but nothing serious enough. At least nothing that makes him go full Scooby do villain. - what about medical records? - This is where it comes interesting, he has not. I do not but for more that I try obtaining his records I do not have nothing. I pay a hooker to see if she knew something. The net of prostitution at this city has never seen him. - Okey I am going to make a last questions. How much money does he gave you and how he reached to you. - it seems he is fan of my youtube channel and gave me 2500 bucks.
