Week 7 Story Planning: The Fisherman

~~
My story would be about a young man named Sam who loves to fish. He is an awful fisherman, however, it has always been his favorite past time. Each day he would go by a nearby river to fish. One day while he is out on his daily fishing run, he would notice a young woman by the river. He instantly falls for her beauty and feels obligated to know her. Each day he would be more and more excited to visit the river to see the beautiful woman from before. The women is oblivious to Sam's presence until one day Sam actually catches a fish. The women approaches Sam after seeing him catch such a fine fish. They talk for hours and eventually decide to keep meeting on other occasions. Eventually the two become best friends. However, the women states that the only way she would stay is if Sam does not ask what the woman was doing at the river all of the days she never noticed him. Sam complied and the woman stayed with Sam. 

Day after day the curiosity would eat at Sam's mind until he could not take it any longer. He would finally ask her why she was at the river all of those days. The woman, devastated by Sam's question, tells him the answer. She was there to kill herself. Her family had thrown her out and she had no friends to consult with. Her life was miserable. She was so ashamed and did not want anyone to know of her situation. 

She was so ashamed she vanished without telling Sam she was leaving or where she was going. After this heartbreak, Sam would wait by the river every day and night in hopes the love of his life would return. One night, she would return to the river in an attempt to finally end her life. Sam would catch her in the act and express his love for her in hopes to change her mind. The woman finally receiving the loving attention she always wanted, would change her mind. The two would eventually get married and live their lives together forever.

  1. This sounds like an interesting concept. I would like to know where in the Mahabharata you got inspiration! Did you take a lot of liberties with the story or did it follow the Mahabharata? When planning a story, I think that it is important to see the original idea and then to see where the writer is going to take it. I think that this story sounds like it would be great!

  2. Tyler, wow this sounds like it is going to be a great story! I liked how you changed it to be more modern and relatable. I think modern people would be shocked if they saw a woman drowning 6 of her children (like in the Mahabharata). Your story is very sad but I am glad it was a happy ending. Can't wait to read it!

  3. This seems like a great idea for a story,Tyler! I think it'/s very cool how you implemented the concept from the reading! I definitely expect this story to be a great read and believe that the planning you have done will allow you to easily type it up. My favorite thing that you plan to do is put in place a happy ending. It is very cool that the fisherman will be able to convince the girl to conquer her thoughts of ending her life. It kind of goes with the saying that love conquers all.
