My post for Troy

Free Write:

Death came without warning. What happened next only a few know. The war between the Chiefs was getting more violent; the bloodshed was getting closer and closer to the Kings front door. Something had be done…

Years Before:

Tamaka was coming returning from his hunt. He was returning to receive his fathers blessing. He was returning to lead his people. Tamakas’ mother Tantoo had another plan that night. Before Tamaka was to return home, her favorite son Junie would receive the fathers blessing. Tantoo knew it was possible because her husband was blind and Junie was much similar to Tamaka.

Junie went to his fathers stable and killed one of the many beasts as offering for the blessing. Tantoo lead Junie in to his fathers’ house calling Junie by his brothers’ name. Tamakas’ father was not easily convinced asking his son many questions about hunts and battles. After all was said and bellies full Junie received his fathers blessing. Tamaka returned with his kill and was told Junie had already been blessed. Tamaka outraged, banished his brother and mother. This was only the start…

So, you re-tell the story of Jacob and Esau in a Native American tone and believe you should win Troy's mix-tape?

Maybe he'll make a mix tape of ALL Cover Songs - since you just "covered" a story.

I call shenanigans, and say that you should be dis-qualified for stealing your idea.

what stories are original. William Shakespeare was the bard of the bible and Lucas stole from Akira Kurosawa. So piss off and write your own stories that sounds like nothing I have ever heard of. If you read the pretext it was a free write, because I was preparing for next weeks lesson in bible class.
