For my first piece of original writing I intend to create a piece
primarily written for entertainment however, I also want to portray an
interest into historical and political persuasions.
I aim to write this piece for an audience of teenagers to young adult
who are aged from around fifteen to twenty-five and are male, I also
wish to identify with those interested in political thrillers within
this age range. The genre of which shall be a short fiction story
consisting chiefly of narrative and written in the third person. I
picture this piece as being one of a collection of short stories
concerned with the political-thriller fiction sub-genre. Despite being
a fiction text I aim to tie in real world non-fiction.
I was inspired to write a story of this nature after watching Luc
Besson’s ‘The Professional’, alongside reading material from Robert
Harris, such as ‘Archangel’, ‘Fatherland’ and ‘Enigma’. I had previous
experience reading this genre and being a big fan of Robert Ludlum I
wanted to emulate the thrill I experienced from his work, in my own.
To gain a firmer understanding of the style I would be pursuing I
began to view examples of historical references from encyclopedias and
journals and I also read books of historical sub-genre.
This is my final draft of this piece and I have made various
alterations from the previous drafts to enhance it. In general the
changes were simple things such as correcting spelling and
punctuation, slightly more significant was the rewording of concluding
paragraphs to make it tidier and read or flow better. The most salient
modification was trimming the use of figurative language; its use
brings visual framework to the piece however overdoing it resulted in
an awkward read.
The changes I have made were a result of feedback I had attained from
my friends, family and potential audiences who read my first drafts
and gave me their honest opinions regarding it. I consider the changes
I have made prior to completion have certainly improved the final
