well its melancholic and easily fits the title "departed". Except your idea seems a bit fragmented in some stages.. yes the imagery in the opening few lines is good but you give away too much. keep it a mystery by using strong elongated metaphors to make the "death" a mere subtlety rather than having this grave sad and melancholic tone imediately established. \nthe name winter i commend you it applies greatly with the feel and raw emotion to the story, try flashbacks, use of colour and motifs to give more depth and meaning breaking the one tone of melacncholy through the story... try and keep with one tense and elaborating on that idea..\ntry interpreting the death differently i didnt expect the mother's death in the end.. however, use previous "departed" charachters in a lighter sense to make the loss of the mother feel much more greater..\n\nhope that helps! Good luck

I am not familiar with that piece of literature, but it suggests to me that the character had to figure out how to solve a problem, but only had a minute and a half to do so before some disaster happens.  I would have to see it in context to help you better.  Also, the word should be "lasts," not "last."

The climax is the most exciting part of the story. It should be right near the end, and after the resolution, all the other parts of the story should fall together in the resolution.

Read "Brainwave" by Poul Anderson. That is the basis of the story.

Haha, nice one. I was hoping it would have a better ending.  There should be a story version of this joke!

I'd recommend getting a copy from your local library. That way you can have a book to take to class and you won't have to use all that ink printing the whole novel out!

I'm not sure exactly what you need, but maybe you could try a children's story. Something with a moral to it. Use animals, flowers, or even stars in the sky for your characters instead of people. Good luck!

the quest of the Golden Toadstool. Anyone knows anything about this story? I think my student may have copie? \nI gave an assignment and one student turned in a story about a gnome a golden toadstool and a dragon. The gnome keeps the toadstool in the forest. The dragon takes it away, destroying the forest. The gnome goes and finds the dragon, kills it and returns the toadstool to the forest and the toadstool being magical puts the forest back together. \nThere is no way this student wrote this picture story book.\nThanks for any help!

It is best to write it yourself, as you know the person leaving and can give it that personal touch that no cut-and-paste source will provide.  It doesn't have to be more than a couple of minutes!
