The final outcome

The final version with corrected problems

Some notes I wrote earlier:

The original version of the story that I wrote it:

The Kite
There is a kite that has been working hard to fly high in the sky. But Yun and Bird didn’t like it very much when they saw it. They thought you are something, why can you fly as high as us, so Yun used lightning to shock the kite, and the bird pecked at the kite. The kite was destroyed and became full of scars. It floated down full. At this time, other small animals and creatures appeared. The wind blows the kite higher, and butterflies and other birds also help. All kinds of creatures help the kite to fly higher and higher, and the colors become more and more colorful.

The Swan Lake
In the ballet Swan Lake, there is an unwritten rule that only little swans can dance four little swans. But there was a little duck, it danced very well, and it always dreamed that one day it could dance four little swans. But when it went to the dance troupe to audition, it was laughed at by other little swans, thinking that you are a duck and you can’t dance four little swans. (Two endings: 1. Everyone was moved by the dancing of the ducklings, and the ducklings and cygnets completed the four little swans together. 2. In the end, the dance troupe chose various small animals to dance the four little swans. You can be whoever you want to be character of)

Flowers and tree
There are many seeds in the ground, seeds of various flowers, and an unknown seed. The seeds of the flowers worked hard to produce the most beautiful flowers, but the unknown seeds never bloomed, and the flowers began to mock the unknown plant. But the plant was not discouraged, but still worked hard to grow upwards. On the last windy day, the flowers were blown up and down, and this plant has grown into a big tree! (Two endings: 1. The tree shelters other little flowers from wind and rain, and the little flower apologizes like a tree. 2. The flowers are uprooted by the blow, but the tree still stands)

The second edition of my story:

The Swan Lake
There is a little duck who dances very well. He practiced dancing day after day and always dreamed that one day he could also dance the ballet The Four Little Swans in Swan Lake. But when he went to the dance troupe to audition, he was severely ridiculed by the selected cygnets, (the cygnets were surprised at first, and then unremittingly) thinking that you are a duck and you cannot dance four cygnets. The duckling left lonely and went to the open space and started dancing again. The other little animals were moved by the duckling’s dance and jumped up to dance with the duckling. The joyful and beautiful dance finally infected the little swans, and the little swans realized that it was their prejudice that made an excellent dancer’s pearl dust. Eventually the cygnets apologize to the duckling and invite the duckling to join them. The little ducks joined the little swans, and everyone stood in a row to complete the dance of the four little swans (the scene or no clothes, changed from the practice field or the practice clothes to the professional stage or performance clothes) and received the stills from the audience. flowers coming up.

Swimming rabbit
A swimming competition, the prize is two tickets to the water park. The small animals participated actively and enthusiastically, but most of them were amphibians who were good at swimming. There was only one little rabbit, which was the only one that was different from others. The little animals around whispered and pointed at the little rabbit. The competition started, and everyone swam forward with all their strength. The little rabbit’s swimming speed was not slower than other animals, but when passing through a patch of water grass, the little rabbit’s legs were entangled, and he relied on his own efforts to untangle the water while struggling. Aquatic plants, and chased forward to the third place. (The other swimming animals in the middle were surprised by the performance of the little rabbit, and turned from disdain to admiration) In the end, the frog won the first place and got the tickets. Look at the bunny through colored glasses, and every animal participating in the competition is equal. Although you are not the first, you have proved that you are just like everyone else. The little frog also gave the ticket to the little rabbit and invited it to play together.

The love of star and butterflie
The little butterfly fell in love with the stars and told the little animals that it wanted to kiss the stars. The little sparrows heard the little butterfly’s thoughts and began to laugh at the little butterfly, imitating the little butterfly’s fragile and soft wings and laughing. The little butterfly was very sad, but the sky was getting darker, and its favorite star appeared. The little butterfly’s eyes were full of love and beauty, and she tried her best to fly to the star. (The little sparrows hugged the popcorn and looked like they were watching the show) Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last long. A gust of wind came, and the little butterflies were sucked into the wind and were on the verge of falling. The little sparrows were startled when they saw it, and quickly flew up to the rescue. The little sparrows flew in front of the little butterfly to block the gust of wind for the little butterfly. The little butterfly nodded to the little sparrow, and finally kissed the star. The little sparrows were touched by the little butterfly’s wish.

Flower and tree
There are many seeds in the ground, seeds of various flowers, and an unknown seed. The seeds of the flowers worked hard to produce the most beautiful flowers, but the unknown seeds never bloomed, and the flowers began to mock the unknown plant. But the plant was not discouraged, but still worked hard to grow upwards. On the last windy day, the flowers were blown up and down, and this plant has grown into a big tree! The tree shelters the other little flowers from wind and rain, and the little flowers apologize to the tree. But the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the tree began to shake. The little flowers turned into vines and entangled with the big tree, relying on each other and finally escaped the storm.

Jingya wrote the story:

Keywords: double, dialogue, change, understanding, tolerance (The friends who had been separated for a long time due to moving met again and found that the other party had changed a lot, so they asked the reason → (turned to B’s memory) The reason is that A once did something that was very offensive to B (marginal group) and had a great impact on B. B expresses his pain to A, and A is very flustered, (switching to A’s memory) A also realized his mistake before, but he couldn’t apologize because of the sudden departure. But now that he has changed, he apologized to B and admitted his mistake, A and B reconciled, and the two then worked to eliminate discrimination.

Keyword: outsider perspective The angels in the sky wondered why human beings discriminated against each other for a very small reason, so they changed into human beings and came to the human school to experience life. Because there are not so many discriminations and struggles in heaven, the angels in the form of human beings who are marginalized groups run into walls everywhere and don’t know what to do. When he was thinking about turning around on the rooftop, he was bumped by a classmate, thinking that the angel was about to jump off the building, so he hurriedly stopped him. After asking, the two solved the misunderstanding and started chatting. The angel asked, the classmates answered, and finally the two planned to set up a club in the school to promote anti-discrimination, equality and love.

Keywords: real world, directly set in the conservatory, directly expressed stories Girls from minority groups/or the opposite, who came to the Conservatory of Music to study but were nervous and shy because of the experience of being excluded (this part can lead to another girl mentioned below who took the initiative to say hello to her part, but the main character will run away out of fear.) In the process of preparing for a performance, there are often problems/resulting in mistakes in the performance, and other students have a bad impression of her → there are rumors. (gloomy part) Halfway through another minority/or opposite girl, reach out. Help her get acquainted with other classmates, point out that the prejudice of classmates is wrong, and break the rumors. In the end, everyone became friends and worked together to complete the performance. (Family Carnival Happy Ending)

Keyword: virtual Internet world, different avatars. But there are still fringe groups. The protagonist didn’t understand at first, but after understanding the fringe works, he found its beauty and started to promote it, but others still didn’t understand. People from the fringe groups disdain the protagonist at first, thinking that it is doing useless work, but they are gradually moved and participate together, and finally the fringe is also understood, accepted, and tolerated by the public.

I wrote the third edition of Kite Story:

The fourth edition of my Kite Story:

There is a kite flying up to the sky with great effort, hoping to see a wider world. (The main character, the little fat bird, is in the painting) The kite is very happy to see the world above the clouds, but it is crowded by the crowds of birds above the clouds. Can’t get up, slowly drifting down. At this time, the little chubby bird found the kite falling down (the birds ignored it), and it hurriedly flew through the crowded birds to the kite. The kite fell lower and lower and felt that he was going to die. At this time, the little fat bird finally came to the kite. The little fat bird anxiously circled around the kite, holding the kite in his mouth and trying to pull the kite up, but the little fat bird spent nine hours. The strength of the bull and the tiger still can’t pull the kite, and can’t change the fact that the kite is falling down. The little chubby bird realizes that a bird’s ability is not enough to change the status quo, and it needs the help of other birds, so it rushes to tell everyone for help. Some birds take pictures with their mobile phones, while others turn a blind eye. Most of them choose to ignore chubby Birds for help. The little fat bird stood sadly in front of the kite, with tears in his eyes. At this moment, a big bird appeared and stepped forward to help. The little fat bird told the big bird that more birds needed help, so they met the dove of peace and another bird. bird. Four bird wings surrounded the kite, and the kite changed from being sluggish to surprised! The four birds flew into the sky with the kite, the kite and the four birds smiled happily They flew higher into the sky and merged into the rainbow, but the rainbow was soon covered by the dark clouds of Cloudsdale. The birds who saw these were filled with emotion, although only a small part, they began to notice that other flying creatures in the city (bats, kites of other shapes) began to communicate with them and help them. In the end, a rainbow that will not disperse for a long time rose in Yunshangcheng. Under the rainbow, there are different groups of people living in harmony hand in hand. Then it is equivalent to these friendly birds, bringing warmth and warm colors, and the final color changes from cold to warm because everyone begins to reflect on themselves and make changes

The fifth edition of my Kite Story:

There is a kite flying up to the sky with great effort, hoping to see a wider world. (The main character, the little fat bird, is in the painting) The kite is very happy to see the world above the clouds, but it is crowded by the crowds of birds above the clouds. Can’t get up, slowly drifting down. When the kite was crowded by the birds, some birds or other creatures found the kite that needed help, but none of them took the initiative to stand up and help the kite. (It is noted in the picture that the pigeons and other creatures are not sure what happened) At this time, the little chubby bird found the kite that was falling, and it hurriedly flew through the crowded flock of birds to the kite. Follow the bird through the crowded flock to the kite. (The goose noticed the little bird’s action) (Abc and several birds noticed this but did not choose to help the whole process) The kite fell lower and lower and felt that it was going to die. At this time, the little fat bird finally came to the kite. The little fat bird anxiously circled the kite, holding the kite in its mouth and trying to pull the kite up, but the little fat bird couldn’t pull the kite even after a lot of effort, and couldn’t change the fact that the kite was falling down.

Some birds take pictures with their mobile phones, while others turn a blind eye. Most of them choose to ignore chubby Birds for help. The little chubby bird stood sadly in front of the kite, with tears in his eyes. At this moment, the goose appeared and took the initiative to help the little bird. The kite was too crowded by the birds to fly. The goose quickly came out and directed everyone to make room for the kite. a piece of space. Finally, those birds who had chosen to turn a blind eye, hear and not hear, discovered the suffocation of the kite, and came from all directions to form a larger and larger circle. As more and more birds came, each bird took a piece The kite line spread its wings and flew high, and the kite flew happily into the air from the sluggishness of being unable to fly due to crowding! In the end, a rainbow that will not disperse for a long time rises in the cloud city. Under the rainbow, there are different groups of people living in harmony.

There is a kite flying up into the sky with great effort, (the main character, chubby bird, is in the picture) the kite holds a poster of welcome to the city of music, and sees the music school on the clouds is very open. But the kite was so crowded by the crowd of birds above the clouds that it could no longer fly, and slowly fell down, falling into the trumpet that was playing, and the kite was blown away indifferently by the bird with the trumpet. When the kite was crowded by the birds, some birds or other creatures found the kite that needed help, but none of them took the initiative to stand up and help the kite.

Finally, those birds who had chosen to turn a blind eye and hear nothing found the suffocation of the kite, and came from all directions to gather in a larger and larger circle, and the birds made an open space for the kite. As more and more birds came, each bird picked up a piece of kite string, and the kite changed from being sluggish because it was too crowded to fly to a higher place happily.

2. When you find someone of a different race who needs help, do you ignore it or do you help them?
3. When you realize that you can’t help someone on your own, do you let go or do you stick with it?
4. When someone steps up to help them, will you step up to help them as well?
5. Will you recognize your apathy and decide to change yourself to help others？
