For my Tale I chose an Irish myth about a god named Manannan, the son of the sea.
This is the short version of the story I created:
This is my analysis of the tale:
This is the start of my new outline that's connected to this myth:
Act 1
Max(Main character) is introduced in the ghetto High school.(using Overton)
His day consists of working two jobs and taking care of his brother and mother.
During this act, it will show how Max is trying to get cash each and every way. He had to drop out of high school in order to fulfill his time making money.
A rich stranger (PLOT SETTER) drives by in a nice Lexus. Max asks where this man came from and how he came upon this fortune. The man pulls out a bag of drugs, crack,(This is a metaphor for the branch in the tale). The man tells him that the bag is worth 5 grand. If max sells three grand worth (representing the three exchanges) and returns it to the man, he can keep the other two.
Act 2
Max sells a lot of the crack but not all. The man comes back enraged. This is when
max’s obstacle occurs. The man kidnaps his mother and brother. Max goes out with his homeboys to finds this man.
First Culmination: Max looks confidently, then his boys either end up getting shot or backing out
(a metaphor representing the mist in the original tale.)
Mid Point: Max hits rock bottom realizing the strings the man is pulling on his life.
