Wet Shoes Character

Name three characters that may appear in the mini-short story you will write for this lesson. List four traits or characteristics for each of them. Wet Shoes - A baby born to a young couple. She is unable to speak except to the reflection that she sees in The River. Loyal to the one who protects her from the cruelty of the outside world. A person who can keep a secret.

The River - The one thing or person that can bring Wet Shoes to talk. WhetherThe River is human or a sprit living within the water, he protects her until he is no longer needed.

She wondered why she was unable to open her mouth and why she was unable to express her love to the two people who watched her

What about your story pleases you most? Again, like in my last story, the plot probably pleases me the most. I had no idea where I intended to go, and it ended much better than I had anticipated!

What about your story are you least happy with? I am not really unhappy with anything in this story. Although it is probably a little vague, I meant the story to be like an old tale that no one can really remember.

Discuss what you learned in the writing of this second story. Writing this second story, I noticed that my ideas often came together when I thought they wouldn’t. I am not really good at stopping myself from placing too much information into a story but it came together at the
