In the November 2006 issue of THE WRITER, John K. Borchardt made the point above in his article, “Harness the Power of Metaphors”. I’d like to expand on that a bit today.
One of the fifty-eight parables of Jesus is The Prodigal Son.
One of Aesop’s thirty-five fables is The Tortoise and the Hare.
Summarize both and think of one situation you’ve either experienced yourself or seen reflected in a movie, expanding on the fable or parable above.
There is a collection of FORDYCE’S SERMONS.
There is the EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD.
Summarize both and think of one situation you’ve either experienced yourself or seen reflected in a movie, expanding on one of the books above.
The moral of this story is: write short, write powerful.
