February 27, 2012 - Pigs, Monkeys, and Wolves

Today's class was mostly a session for reprimanding. Professor Jenkins didn't feel we were capturing the essence of addiction in a 500-word sequel to the Three Little Pigs. The wolf should go through fear, loathing, and recovery. We want a Requiem for a Dream-type wolf.

Furthermore, we should be exploring the monkey's chaotic-evil personality as a manipulator. He would never want the wolf to overcome his problems and would thus create doubt and suspicion in the wolf's ability to not eat pigs. 

The pigs, meanwhile, have a lot of family trouble and resentment. It's a lot of themes to cram into one story, luckily the trick to that is to just use lots of dialog. Lots and lots of dialog. Be heavy on the Hemingway.

Seriously, he's like all dialogue.

Surely, the rewrite of the story will be much improved with all these helpful hints.
