Story

Do the critics have to give it good reviews for fear they would be racist if they didn’t?
How can it be as good or better than the original..when it’s a stolen story?

Not all remakes have to be the same. Like an above poster said, a fresh approach gives it a new kick (haha pun not intended), so that while it may not be as good as the original, it’s good in a different way. Sometimes remakes have to be judged out of the shadow of their predecessor so they can really come into their own style. And maybe the critics are not taking it seriously as it’s not meant to be. Maybe they’re just reviewing it for what it is: a fun movie.

PLEASE tell me your HONEST opinions. Please feel free to criticize on my writing.

Here’s the link: http://hubpages.com/hub/Different-is-Special

I’m thirteen and I really want to be a writer. I guess I spend most of my time writing this and reading. The story in that link is about fifteen year old Yamileth, short for Yami. When her mom marries Jeff, he starts to use her and make her do everything he wants. Jeff wants Yami out of his way so he sends her to Boarding School. Yami walks through the woods to go to Bufflen (Boarding School). She meets an old man and he tells her there’s no school like that. Instead he says that there is a school called "House Of Scourer’s."

It’s basically a school of wizards and magic. There is four powers that you can be gifted with, Water, Earth, Air and Fire. Yami was different, she got to be gifted with the power of being able to Read minds, read auras, see someones life from start to finish by a touch. She was a Light and Darkness wizard. The rest is for you to read!

i read it your a great writer. I have no interest whatsoever in what it is you write about yet i think its great. Bravo.

I always get to a point, usually within the first five chapters, I find that what I am writing is absolutely terrible and I give up on that story. I know writers are their own toughest critics but my inner editor is so strict I can never finish a rough draft, I rarely even get half way through.

Have you tried doing an outline before you begin to write? Draw up a chapter by chapter outline – just a couple of lines for each chapter stating, roughly, what is going to happen in that chapter. If you get stuck on one chapter, hop to another and work from there. Then go back later to where you were stuck and have another go at it.

No one knew,
How much I felt blue
No one knew,
How much I weeped inside
No one knew,
How much sadness I had

Til a crazy lad I hated came..
And turned everything upside down
Including my frown

–Well, this is kinda my synopsis..
I hope you appreciate the story.
Critics are allowed
But jerks aren’t..

Thanks!
