Where do new ideas come from?

I think that new ideas come from your imagination. Just any imagination that pops in your head can make a brand new idea. I think that ideas can come from a lot of different places. From friends, the past, your life, books, movies, it is just everything. Everything is an idea. When you let your mind wonder a new idea will pop up. WHen you think about the past a new idea will pop up. So in general I think ideas can come from any where you imagine it to be from, and you can get new ideas any time, even when you don't expect one.

My Favorite Story - What makes a good story?

The stories we've read in our humanities class were "Lamb to the Slaughter" and "The Sniper." My favorite one is "Lamb to the Slaughter" because the author builds a lot of serious tension that leads us to the climax. I liked how Roald Dahl made the story more interesting by making Patrick a police. Another thing I like about the story is the exposition Roald Dahl introduced his characters with a little mystery by making Patrick act unusual, and finally we figured out Patrick wanted a divorce. The thing that every story must have is a conflict in "Lamb to the Slaughter" the conflict is Mary v.s. Patrick. The conflict is important because it makes the story have a meaning full ending the resolution.
