Title: anyone who is doing the dress maker say AYE!! (or has done)
Post by: MagicGecko on July 10, 2012, 11:00:31 pm

so yeah, my class is doing the "Dress Maker" for the creative response sac.....but the problem is i have no idea what to do it on :(
i've thought about writing a continuation of the story but someone else is doing that. I then had this great idea, even my teacher and friends said that if i do it correctly then it will definetely be an A+ but then half way through it i realised that i had to wirte a.....rape scene..(-.-)....and that was when i was like 'no stuff it, i dont care whether this is an A+ or not, i will not write a rape scene!"
(it was actually Molly's back story, i.e how she became known as 'Crazy'.

so i was wondering if anyone who has read the book to help me, if you can, try and pick a new idea!!!

Woah, you're using it for a SAC? I feel for you, this book was weird haha!

I think your idea is quite epic tbh. If writing a rape scene makes you feel super-dooper weird (which I can only assume it would), just remember that  most of Rosalie Ham's sexual scenes are quite short but really descriptive :P So it'd only be a few lines haha.

Remember that no idea is guaranteed an A+, it's all about execution and how convincing your accompanying explanation is. So if you don't feel comfortable with going down that rabbit hole don't force yourself too as you might be compromising yourself through being inherently reluctant to explore it thoroughly.
