Styles

Topic: Time Travel
My story topic is about time travel and incorporating the different styles below. Religious and non-religious famous characters will interact with one another changing the world as we know it. The story will start in present day.

Seeking Grendel's Mother froom Beowulf, by Strafford Riggs (1933)

Fall of Man from Book of Legends of Jews by Louis Ginzberg (1909)
Style 1: My story will be about time travel so I will more than likely use a frametale. Right now, the main gist of the story is that the most prominent religious figures interact with one another through time travel and therefore changing the world as we know it. The story starts in the present and may or may not change the future. I believe my main character will be Adam from the Bible and I'll have him talk in first person throughout. The story will mostly be from his point of view.

Style 2: The second style I am thinking about will be in third person storyteller with the same story line. The really big catch, is that God would be telling the story to angels. As he tells the story, the audience would be transferred to each scene. This would be a fictional story filled with some humor and suspense. However, the circumstances and dialogue would be in a more dramatic tone.  The story also would be in the frametale format. This is because the multiple stories are all connected. Each one will affect the other.

Style 3: The stories for this will be in third person told from a certain character's perspective. The key that will make this style entertaining is that the character telling the story will have been the one who was saved or resolved everything. This would not be shown until the very end though. So, the style of writing and visuals would be used to make the story feel suspenseful by keeping the audience guessing who the mysterious narrator is. These stories will be in the anthology structure. They would each be fictional.

Style 4: These last set of stories will be structured as an anthology. Each story will be told in the first person with each character speaking. These stories would be more satirical since my three above will be more dramatic. I will give these stories a nursery rhyme feel. I would make my own short rhymes to base these on. I did this so that I can leave clues as the audience reads. The clues will be stated and be part of the story. On some stories, the picture in between each paragraph will have an exercise that reveals the clue, but makes the reader participate to figure it out. These also will have less dialogue showing more action of the story with detail.
