Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
Num. of words: 5000
Tone: Humorous
Extensive research needed: no
Extra notes: I am writing a novel about middle school election that mirrors the election of the 2016 USA election. My goal is through humor and making issues accessible, kids will learn about the inflammatory tactics used so we don't have fear mongering in the future.
This is the first paragraph I wrote
“Teachers are incompetent. Kids are afraid of walking in the hallways. Our school building is falling apart. No one knows what the hell is going on.” Connor King stood atop the stairs in front of school and attempted to attract attention to his political campaign for student body president. “We have new students transferring into our school and we don’t have any idea who they are. All around the country, schools are thriving and we get nothing. We are losing and everyone else is winning. Our leaders have done nothing for us. All of this is going to change when you elect King for president!”
This excerpt from my first book shows my preferred style and humor. (You can look up Laughable Legends on Amazon for more sample)
I am looking for help with ideas, material, making my material more funny, or all of the above
EIGHTH GRADE WILL BE THE BEST THREE YEARS OF YOUR LIFE
Students are threatened every year that they better do their work or they won’t graduate. It is an empty threat that gets twenty-three seconds of respect. After that, students return to gossiping, daydreaming, or whistling pop songs to no one in particular. There is a reason these threats never become reality. And that reason is Charlie Humphries.
Twenty-three years ago, Charlie failed every class on his report card, failed to show his report card to his parents, and failed to care about failing. What no adult understood is that Charlie loved Middle School 99. He loved spending two hours’ detention after school. He loved his punishments before school. He even loved summer school. When Charlie failed, he actually succeeded. Because of his odd version of love, Charlie managed to spend more time at Middle School 99 than any student in history. And his method was failure.
Charlie managed to get a −10 on his spelling test. He would only write about the future in history class. His science labs would explode. His algebra was poetic, and his poetry assignments solved algebraic equations. In gym, he would sing, and in drama class, he would wrestle. Charlie was brilliant in getting the lowest possible grades in every possible subject.
Charlie was also smart about getting in trouble. He once brought a water pistol to class. Most troublemakers would simply shoot it at people, but Charlie was special. He sat in the back of class and shot the ceiling. That way, when the water dripped on the students, they thought the
