After reading the title of this chapter I was intruiged. The
wording of it reminded me of The Bride of Frankenstein. I wonder if there is
any connection? From the beginning I do not see any.
I like that there is a lot of dialogue in this chapter. It
seems like sometimes there is either too much or not enough. This seems to be
the perfect amount. It adds a lot to the story that would not be there
otherwise. The details that are drawn out from the language choice is nice too.
There are wishes in this story. The goddess grants them
along the way. Kausik wanted to be King and he became King because the reigning
ruler had died suddenly. I think that a fun story to write would be about this
exchange. I would tell the story from the point of view of Kausik. This would
allow me to develop character details the way that I want. I could change him
up and make him really rude or be extremely nice. That is what is nice about
having creative freedom. The story would start with Kausik finding the goddess
and then finish once he is finally in the reign as King. Did Kausik think of
his wish for long? Or did he think of it on the spot? I had this question as I
was reading it. It is a very big wish to have so I am thinking that he had been
thinking of it for a while.
An alternate ending to this story would be Kausik sitting in
his giant chair that Kings sit in and suddenly he begins to feel an ache in his
chest. Kausik would immediately fall to the ground and die. The reason for this
is that someone had the same exact wish as Kausik; they wanted to be King. It
is a constantly rotating ruling of the royalty. Would Kausik change his mind
about being King if he knew that the same thing that he wished could happen to
him?
I enjoyed the rest of the story. This part just really spoke
out to me. I feel like my story could be very successful.
