i didnt really know who to turn to with this assigment, because i cant do it myself since my imagination sucks big time. So i turned to this forum since you guys managed to help me in every random post so far :D .

So my HW is to create a simple story. Fictional or non-fictional which includes 6 different acts. It can be short and simple, but im just not able to come up with something. I'm alse supposed to include some "coincidences". Can someone come up with something :D ?. Oh and feel free to comment on my horrible grammar :D I 'd appreciate it :D.

PS: I also have this useless coupons if anyone needs it 2x 25% OFF Iron Fisticle, 2x25% OFF Heavy Bullets AND couple of receivers https://www.humblebundle.com/gift?key=YyPUhwMtBRcPy7zN,__https://www.humblebundle.com/gift?key=nuNZzMNt8WEs7eqM

well, do something like "Vantage Point" one story from the point of view of different characters , or "pulp fiction" where a bunch of small stories connect each other. you can make each chapter a small story that relates somehow with the others, using the "coincidences" there to connect the whole thing.
for example. start with a monologue of a human walking down the street thing king about his/her life, suddenly he/she/it sees a crash accident, then you can make the back story of one of the persons involved on the accident, you can use that to relate everything; how everything ends, or start with a car accident.
or maybe everything i just write don't have much sense, so there is that... in that case you can always use the "mecha hitler v. Steam punk Lincoln" formula.

I happen to be a writer, so this is my specialty. You've already been given some suggestions, and that's fine, but I'm going to tell you how to approach this assignment. That way, you will be able to do similar assignments in the future.

1) You're creating a simple story, which means they are allowing both fiction and non-fiction, here. Fiction is usually easier to write, so go with that.
2) You are required to tell your story in six acts, so divide up a piece of paper/a chalkboard/something to write on into six sections.
3) Every story has a beginning, middle, and end. It's simplest to keep those three parts in that order.
4) This is the tricky part: think of a story. What you are trying to come up with is something that "happens" and is interesting enough to tell someone about.
5) Now that you have an idea for a story, think about what you want your reader to understand from the story. What's the lesson/message?
6) Now that you know what you're trying to "tell" your reader, that is the "end" of your story. The middle is what happened (the action), and the beginning is what led up to the action happening.
7) Make section #1 your beginning, section #3 your middle, and section #5 your end. The sections in-between will be filled with "problems" to be overcome in order to get to the next section. Section #6 will be your denouement or "wrap up." In Section #6, you will tie up all the loose ends and explain what happens after the main story has finished.

There's a lot more to writing, of course, but I hope that the above will prove useful to you.
