Aladdin

This was such a fun read because it reminded me of my
childhood! Aladdin was such a fun
movie as a kid and even as an adult because there is so much imagination,
color, culture, drama, and so much more that went into this classic film. It is
by far one of my favorites. That being said, there is an unlimited amount of
routes I can take when writing. I think one of the main elements of this original
story I would like to change is switching the gender of the main character! I
feel this would be a unique twist, and bring a different prospective on the
classic story. I would also like more characters involved for dialogue
purposes.
I want the setting of my story to be in the “streets,” as in
being set in an area where people are not well off, and struggle to make a
living. I would like my main theme to represent poverty. I could also include a
current event in today’s world to represent poverty, and make my story more
realistic for my readers. I feel the best way to approach this topic would be
to write in a kid friendly manner. I feel like I can make my story fun and have
something to think about after reading.
I’m excited to let myself let the original story take me on
my own journey into my imagination, and create something fun and interesting! I
think my readers will enjoy the theme, and the main character being a female in
a less fortunate environment, and encountering some crazy events. Wish me luck!
