This whole week, the question of Fantasy kept appearing itself over and over again. What is Fantasy using our own words? So the example that was used to define Fantasy was of course The Most Dangerous Game. At first, when read of course you wonder about something crucial to the story. It does not deal with Orks, Elves, or even Dwarves. It instead deals with the time being after WWI and Hunting of all things. So after doing some great thinking and rewording multiple times over and over again. The final conclusion to this issue was simply this. Fantasy is used to teach the audience a lesson about fundamental truths, by looking at the truths from a different perspective, while disguising the lesson as simple enjoyment. Alec and I felt like this claim was straight to the point and had many layers to the theme. SO using the context of The Most Dangerous Game have we been able to succeed in backing up our own claim.
The other thing worth noting would be of course the book of Ray Bradbury. REcently on small moments during the day would I be of course reading the life of Mr. Bradbury. He of course brings up many good points that I as a writer keep on failing over and over again. His simple advice in tbhe very first chapter is this at the very back of the chapter. "Wake up and step on that landmine that is you my friend. Then spend the day repiecing yourself as much as possible for the day to come!" That is his advice and I want to take on that idea into my own hands. Of course, he does indeed go off and explain a lot of how his stories were written. He justs looks at something strange and interesting and thinks. Thinks the what if scenario and begin to tell a tale about this idea of his.
For that is all I have learned this week that is worthing noting in this blog.
