Ruby

Rubies are such
a pretty stone. I feel this type of rock was appreciated more in the past, and
slowly making it’s reappearance in the present. It can be found in so many
different types of jewelry. The beauty is definitely breathtaking. I think the
different colors of the stone make it very different and unique—sort of like
the story of its origin in Bengal. I feel this story made this one ruby
symbolize beauty and treasure.
In my own twist
on this story I would like to keep beauty and treasure as the two symbolic aspects
of this gem. I thought the characters in the original story were interesting. Favoritism
was an interesting topic, but this is something I would like to change. I would
like for my story to have no favorites, and instead of a boy finding this ruby,
I would like a young girl to discover it with her sisters. I want my story to
be an adventure for these girls. I would like to keep the setting at sea.
However, something I would like to change up is to have the girl discovering the
gem to be less fortunate than the girl that desires the gem from her. This
would be a twist from the original story because in the original the boy has
the stone, and a daughter of a king wants the stone.
I feel like this
would be such a fun story to write about because who wouldn’t love a tale of
how a beautiful stone came to be. I feel like this would be a great bedtime
story. Symbolism will be the highlight of my story, and it will show my readers
appreciation for an underrated gem. The sisters’ character development will
also be interesting to write about.
