Tropes and Scope [final, period 3]

[bookworm-beauty.livejournal.com]

"I'm glad to see everyone back in one piece," Belle said warmly, holding a stack of packets from the front of the room. "And your final today, because of the...hectic nature of the last few weeks, will be brief. I want you to sift through these packets, which contain descriptions of the tropes and trends we've studied for the last semester. And I want you to find what you think your life, to now, has been representative of. What type of genre is it? Needless to say, I think all our stories became a little more...adventure-like last week, but maybe your story is a romance, or a bit sci-fi, or...well, I hope it's not horror. Define the major players, and the types of characters that are represented. And where do you fit in? Are you a intelligent woman who doesn't fit in at home, for instance? Do you know any badasses who aren't evil?"

Belle smiled. "Those are all people in my story, but that's something for another day. For now, just write down your answers, and you can go. You've been a wonderful, wonderful class."
