Tale Twists: Fictions Farcical Flair
Writing the Satire
Fiction satire twists tales – flair it farcical. Target a plot: “Hero saves all – trips on cape.” Hit the yarn – quests, turns: “Quest for gold – found lint.” Keep it wild – tame flops. Write: “Tale says win – I sink.” Orwells Animal Farm inspires. Start yours: “Days epic – I nap.” Practice turns stories into silly spins.
Teaching the Technique
Teach tale jabs with a yarn twist. Give “hero flops” – twist: “Flops so grand, he won!” Show Orwell clips – plot, zing. Steps: tale, quirk, jab. Assign “quest fail” – spark: “Fail so big, I quit!” Discuss flair: wild wins. Warn off dull – farce rules. Twist-off: pitch a spin, best silly wins. Tales are lies – teach them to lie it.
