Hello Everyone,
This week, my journal prompt is "Make up a really good lie about yourself to tell a stranger. Write a story to back it up". And well I thought about what I could lie about myself and whether I should go extreme or keep it simple. I decided extreme because as the saying goes, you can't make this up. Here is my story...
I moved to Pittsburgh when I was five years old. My family we came from a small town in England called Gateshead. We lived near our family church, The Cathedral Church of St. Nicholas. But we had to move to the states because of my mom needed to help her family. When we first came to the states, my accent cause the kids at my new school to make fun of me that I eventually changed schools and forgot my English accent. At my new school, I did my best to learn an American accent and before I knew it, my English accent was a thing of the past. I feel guilty of hiding my true identity but I've kept it a secret for so long that my American accent has become first nature.
So that's my lie that I could tell to a stranger if I had to. But in class we are talking about interactive narratives and one way I can use this lie to incorporate in my narrative is the main premise of my lie, hiding your identity to stay safe. My idea for my narrative is being a stow away on a pirate ship and trying to survive and escape. The people on the ship suspect you some but with many personality on a pirate ship, it is hard to say. I am going to use Twine to create this narrative so please stay tune if you would like to play it!
