Script

            Story takes place at Potato Creek State park where three people, Kaitlin, Bronson and myself are fishing on their lake. Kaitlin and Bronson brought their fishing poles, bobs and bait to use to capture some fish as well as a cooler to put the fish in after they finished. While on the doc Kaitlin pipes in and says to me, “You did not bring your fishing rod and bob?”
            “No,” I said. Then Bronson comes out and says,
            “Just let him borrow either of our poles and bobs.” Then Kaitlin mentions,
            “If you want to lose your bobs that is,” speaking to Bronson and then turns to me and says “You are never going to live that down.” After Kaitlin said that I can only think about that time when we were on a family vacation in Wisconsin where my family, Kaitlin and I were fishing. That was the first day I ever fished in my life and I was wanting to show off that I could catch one real quick, but my pride got the best of me that day because that is not what went down at all. I thought to myself, "this is going to be a piece of cake."As we were fishing, we were near a lily pad patch and I threw the line out in the direction of the lily pads and I said,
            “I got a big one,” not realizing that I got my line caught on one of the lilies and I started to tug and pull and sooner than later the bob and hook broke off the line. Kaitlin then said to me,
            “I hate to burst your bubble, but why couldn't you just listen to me, not to fish over in that direction. Now you lost one of my bobs.” Later that day my pride got the best of me again when I tried to retrieve her bob by using the Jet Ski and going out and getting it myself without anyone’s help. I was wrong because I made things worse by clogging the Jet Ski with seaweed in which I had to be rescued by my family. It turned out to be a day I would never forget especially now whenever I go fishing with Kaitlin or my family. Then my mind is back at Potato Creek where I say,
            “Your right, I am never going to live that down."

  1. This is part short story, part script but you did a good job turning it into a script in class. If you write too much in the head of the character it's harder to translate to the screen.
