The character was looking for something. He was crossing a river when, suddenly, someone
shootedSHOT him with an arrow.Unbelievably, he went on fighting
againstDESPITE his wounded body.AtIN the end, he found an increasingly bright place. He immediately felt peace andachieved to seeFINALLY SAW the light.Actually, he was dying.
GOOD – IN FACT, WITHOUT KNOWING IT, YOU’VE WRITTEN A MINI-SAGA! EXACTLY 50 WORDS)
A young unarmed man is pursued by another who has a bow, this man throws an arrow and hurts the first one, he is wounded but continues fleeing.
Nature rebels against human violence and is angry about
the menMAN’S cruelty.As A punishment humans vanished off the face of the earth.
GOOD!
In my opinion, the artist wants to reflect
which arethe last human feelings before dying. From the charactergetsGETTING shot until he definitelydyesDIES it seems that he travels to a calm place. He walks staggering to the top of a hill and takes a long looktoAT the rich nature that sorrounds him. Then he vanishes and finallydyesDIES.GOOD VOCABULARY
I think it’s some kind of metaphor about THE life of somebody who’s been going
on(runNing) throughanySOME problems (a poor and sad landscape) and at the end of liFe (dead with aN arrow and afterwards, without it???), HIS tired and exausted spiritgets restingMANAGES TO REST in peace.GOOD
A QUIET DAY ON THE BEACH
One man is fishing on the beach.
Somebody stops on the shore a few metres behind, and starts watching the fisherMAN.
After ten hours without catching anything, the fisherMAN gets angry aND sayS to the other one:
-
Do youYOU DO love fishing, don’t you?-I’m afraid not, I have no patience.
Is this a mini-saga? I’ve counted 49 words!!!!
The most famous mini-saga is Stanley´s words upon bumping into Dr. Livingstone after a long journey:
Dr. Livingstone, I presume ?
A mini-saga is defined as having exactly 50 words!
The man runs, even though he died long time ago. The man is crossing the Acheron, the river dividing the world of living from the dead.
He gets away in the hope
to beOF BEING alive again. Flowers are gleaming for him, he believes. But IT is only a mirage. He can’t.I LIKE THIS – VERY POETICAL. GOOD.
The film fills me with a feeling of unease. The soundtrack has a worrying music, which announces us something bad is going on. I think the story goes about cruelty and fragility of
being humanHUMAN BEINGS and about THE eternity ofthenature and the Earth. Men think they are the most powerful creature of nature and their weakness shows them how they are only another piece of it.GREAT STUFF! KEEP IT UP!
I want to explain how I
feeltFELT when I saw andlistenedHEARD my nephew for THE first time.Last month my sister
wasBECAME A mother, that’s an incredible sensation because my sister is one of my best friends and she is only one year older than me. I can’t explain the nerves when she was giving birth and the feelings when I had my nephew in my hands, it´s difficult to explain because he is too vulnerable and too small.. It´s like a miracle.CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE FAMILY!
thank you!
My pleasure!
MINI SAGA
All the morningsEVERY MORNING they saw each other, when he was waiting for a bus and she was going to work. One morning he gathered uphiscourage and tried totoldTELL her his feelings but finally he didn’t dare, he thought: tomorrow – but that was the last time he ever saw her.GOOD – BUT YOU USED 52 WORDS!!! By changing a couple of things, it now has 50.
MINI SAGA
He was the MOST handsome man that I had
never seen. I lookED at him and I felt that special feeling. I couldn’t wait anymore. I invited him to try out new experiences,knewKNOW other places, and see the stars together. Surprisingly he accepted and we went… to a planetariumshow!Ha ha!! Good – very original. I’ve has to add the word “most”, so I’ve omitted “show”. Otherwise the sage would have one too many words!
For me this is the story of many people nowadays. The story of someone who
scapeESCAPES from the system, from the stress, the work, the debts, the rules wHich youareDO not agree with, … But finally the system takes you and your human condition dieS. I thinkit’llTHERE’LL be a second part where all theseligtLIT up plants,wich had grownWHICH HAVE GROWN from thediesDEATH ofthehumans, will take the world todoMAKE it better.Great answer.
Mini-Saga
They were sitting
atON the edge of the bridge. He was saying, “My life has no sense now” when suddenly he slipped and fell. Before he hit the river, she saw hisfaceterrified FACE. He wanted to live and he knew that his life was the most important. It was.Love it! I’ll put it into a photo this weekend. Thank you.
ok!
