LATENESS PART ONE: Plots that KILL D:

1. I suppose the genre for my film would have to be Comedy. What makes it a comedy are probably the funny little parts in the movie, which are all in the perspective of a guy named Jay who gets beat up and stands up to himself thanks to his guardian angel Gragg.
-I based this story on the words "On a day like any other day, a human being fell from the sky."
-My plot is probably a Coming of Age-ish Fullfillment plot. He comes to face his bully after all.
2. It's unique because it uses a ghostlike guardian angel, and the issue it addresses is bullying. My story is about a guy named Jay. The major issue is getting Gragg, the guardian angel to go through people. He changes in that he actually stands up for himself, or on the way to anyway. I tried to but nothing in this era is ever original anymore.
