STORY SPINE REFLECTION



Reflect on the story spine assignment from yesterday. Copy your story spine in your response.

Did the exercise help you craft an interesting story synopsis? If or if not, why? What are two things that you learned from the exercise?

Once upon a time there was a sardine factory worker in the industrial city of Monterey. Every day she packed sardines into their cans and went home to her boiler room. She earned a very small wage and her only goal was to save up enough money to move out. With the small wage, she was unable to keep up with her monthly payments so she was constantly stuck in a never ending cycle of payments. One day, as she was on her way back to her home, she was raped by her landlord. Because of that, she was at such a low and depressed mental state, she did not want to get out of bed. As she was running in late, she found she had been replaced with another factory worker. Learning she was out of a job, she went out to search for another form of payment. Until finally, she found a drug dealer who offered her on many emotion-numbing drugs in replacement of work. Believing she was finally at her happy place, she took all of her final savings for moving out and overdosed on drugs.

It was a little difficult to think of a plot that would match this completely. I prefer to write with without a structure when it comes to creative writing. I learned to make short writings

History of the PSA

Where did public service announcements begin? What was their main purpose? How have they evolved throughout the decades? The PSA was created when the United States joined WWII drafting propaganda. Tag lines like "Loose lips sink ships" were used to get people to donate and contribute to military operations. Now, a PSA is for getting people to contribute to other causes like anti-drugs, drunk driving, and seat belts.
