Can you give some ideas to write a story about a shipwreck?

Answer 1

Here are my ideas: -write about a girl who goes to find gold because her family is poor, later she enters the Bermuda triangle and her ship is wrecked, she later swims to a near island where she has to learn to survive with the things she has. -a boy (who can talk to animals) receives the news that his parents shipped was wrecked last night. He and all his animal friends go on a brave adventure to hel rescue his parent. -pretend your a retired pirate and tell the story of how you survived the worst ship wreck of all time.

Any idea that is interesting enough to you will be a good idea. You cannot write a story or novel based on ideas that someone else invents - you won't be interested enough in the subject to be able to research and write anything that will actually sell.

If you want someone to tell you what to write, ask your English teacher for an extra assignment -- that's what you're doing here, you know. Plus, anonymous people on the internet have no idea how old you are, what your interests are, or how well you can write!

In order to write, you need a personal connection to the subject. Write about whatever you enjoy, or whatever you find interesting, and you will end up with your novel or story.

WikiAnswers is happy to help you learn how to write better. We will not do your writing for you by giving you ideas and paragraphs to copy.

Here are some more suggestions from WikiAnswers contributors:

• Write about what you know. A good idea for a first novel is to write your own personal story. Everyone has at least one novel in them waiting to be written.

• Observe the world around you. Anything interesting can be an idea for a story or novel.

• Research. The more you know, the more ideas you will have.

• Read stories and books that other authors have written in your chosen genre. This way, you can see how other people do things.

A story can be either plot driven, character driven, or both. Most are stories are both but one or the other usually takes precedence. Charles Dickens' novels are primarily character driven Ian Flemings' are plot driven (although all the plots are the same.) If you need a place to start - trying thinking up interesting characters who can be developed and evolved against an interesting plot, or think up a good crisis that characters can be illuminated through.

Answer 2

Sure! You could write about a group of strangers who must work together to survive on a deserted island after their cruise ship sinks. Each character could have a unique skill or perspective that helps the group overcome challenges and build a new community. As they struggle to find a way home, they uncover secrets about each other that test their bonds and reshape their priorities.
