Smart Objective

It's about time to start working on my short story. For our project sign-offs next week we were asked to create a smart objective for our main project.

Smart Objective

 I will write a short story based on my experiences with alcoholism growing up in a small village. I will write it using Word Office, and turn it into a flipbook using Yumpu. I will write in the first personand and it will be aimed at, university students, young adults, people between 16 and 25 years old.  I want to write about addiction’s damage, both external and internal; about a vicious cycle of self-harm. Family relationships, love, hate, and death. As my research, I will be looking into authors such as Anton Chekhov and F. Scott Fitzgerald as they wrote on similar themes.  I will finish writing my first draft by the end of April and start editing and re-drafting. The manuscript will be finished by the end of May.

Movie was  produced by Paramount pictures.(IMDB)  "Paramount Pictures, In full Paramount Pictures Corporation, one of the first and most successful of the Hollywood film studios. It became a subsidiary of viacom in 1994"   (Britannica).   Ferris Bueller's day off in my opinion is ultimate lazy Sunday afternoon movie, sending nothing but good emotions. Matthew Broderick who was nominated for the Golden Globe award in 1987  for the best performance by any actor in motion picture ( Golden Globes) delivers fun, intreaging and all rounded character to life, making us feel like we

Development of my project

With the deadline just around the corner I finished drafting and ready to submit the project I was carrying out throughout the media 2 module. While redrafting for the last time, I aimed to get rid of unnecessary words and sentences in order to control the tone throughout my work. I also looked at minimalism as a literary device.  'Minimum is both an ending and a beginning, the terminus of patient processes of simplification reduction, exposition, intensification and clarification.' (Botha, 2017)   Will You Please Be Quiet,Please? (Carver, 2014),                                        What We Talk About When We Talk About Love (Carver, 2009)    Also, while working on my story I was reading two short story collections written by Raymond Carver: Will You Please Be Quiet, Please? and What We Talk About When We Talk About Love. Reading these collections greatly informed me of Raymond Carver's work and gave me inspiration when editing my own work. I was interested by minimalism
