The Better Part of Me

Here I wrote a story of two twin sisters who after a incident began to resent each other. They both have different meanings of family and that gets in the way a lot. With them both mostly feeling unloved, the only way they can find it is within each other.

The Unreserved Fate

My multi-perspective narrative takes inspiration from Far From the Tree’s three rotating perspectives. My story also utilizes Benway’s techniques to move to plot forward. While still answering the essential questions, it also includes dark and violent elements (my favorite). Enjoy!

Falling Apart

This Story is about two siblings who have grown up as best friends. There is a party that is happening today and they’re deciding if they should go. This is inspired by Robin Benways Far From The Tree because it is a multi narrative story that is mainly about family. It also shows a bond between 2 family members and how their bond is being built back together. With this being said I hope you enjoy the story.

Beginnings and Endings

My story, “Beginnings and Endings” is centered around mother and son finding ways to accept and love each other in challenging circumstances. In Benway’s “Far From The Tree” it closely following three siblings finding each other and finding/accepting themselves and their obstacles. Though those ideas are slightly different, Benway inspired the way I wrote my story and influenced my decisions about snapshots, thoughtshots and motif.

The Tranquility in Fire

The following story is in a multi narrative format, inspired by Robin Benway’s book Far From the Tree. While Far From the Tree has three narrators, my story only has two. Benway’s book is related to an estranged family finding each other, while my story approaches the topic of reuniting with family after tragedy occurs. Both pieces introduce the idea of what it means to be a family. Finally, the story elements that arise within my story are influenced by the techniques that are shown in Benway’s art. These elements include a snapshot, thoughtshot, motif, dialogue, and the use of dramatic irony.

The Crash By: Madison George

The Crash, is about a group of kids who crashland in the woods. They have to figure out how to survive, with no idea if, or when they are being saved. It’s inspired by Far From The Tree because I try to use her writing techniques, as well as creating a story where everyone has a different experience with family. I love how she had them come from different backgrounds and were so different, yet still came together to be a family. I hope you enjoy, and have a good time reading.
