Short Story

Title: Under the Gun

Author: Karan Daryanani

Genre: Action/Thriller

Pages: 10

Mentor Texts: “Red Eye” the movie: the whole plot of that story was to kill an important political figure and the whole idea about getting the mayor killed from someone on the inside, is just cool. So that idea really stood out and I didn’t realize that this is the cause of me writing a story. It’s just like a memory in my head that I had forgotten about and suddenly it comes out in my writing. 

“The Sentinel” the movie: This is the main influence on my story. They the Chinese got a Chinese man that is half American to work for the secret service and slowly get trusted and then the kills the president, or at least he tries to but he doesn’t succeed. 

Audience: 15 and up because it has a little language and it is a little scary and little kids wont exactly understand the content.

Writing Process: my writing process is a little different from everyone else’s. For my writing process I spent the first week just brainstorming ideas and characters, kind of trying to look at the world in the way that my characters would because I have such diverse characters in my story. After that I wrote a first draft, then I got it peer edited and then I made the changes. Next I needed a teacher review. My teacher reviewed it and I am still making the changes that she suggested.

Publishing Process: I intend to pair up with Adam because our stories are a little similar. Their genres are the same, thriller, and we came up with this whole idea about how we are going to make our pages and our stories stand out. After we combined our stories and put it into an appealing format we are going to send it to the New Yorker and see if they will publish it.
