Dragon; Wikipedia
Okay, so after reading this I immediately thought of Beauty
and the Beast! I thought the story was super cute and really creative. My
favorite part was the rose. Roses are my favorite flower, and I think it’s
perfect for this story. I plan to keep a rose in my story. I also really
admired Zelinda’s character. She represented selflessness, bravery, and
courage. I would like to include these factors into my story, as well! I would
like to apply imagery throughout my story to create a beautiful scene of romance
and tragedy. I would like to make my story more tragic because I haven’t gotten
to write a tragedy just, and I think this would be a perfect story for this
theme.
I would like to make the sisters more complex b making the
play a bigger role of evil in my story. However, I admire the father’s
character, so I would like to keep him the same. One thing in the original
story that caught me off guard was how the beast was a dragon! I feel like this
would be a great detail to keep in my story. My favorite scene in the original
story was how calm Zelinda stayed when she heard what happened to her father,
and asked to be taken to the garden. This was such a mature scene.
If you can’t already tell, I’m a big fan of Zelinda. I think
I will really enjoy making her grow in maturity even more, and I her character
will allow me to write a fairy-tale like romance. The story of Zelinda and the
Monster, and the many versions of Beauty and the Beast I’ve watched inspire me
to create my own version. Wish me luck!
