- I learned today the use of particular characters within a story.
- Tell us your
transformational journey logline.
- Whaling ship Captain
Samuel Cuffe survives a shipwreck only to be sold into slavery. Teaming
up with Blanche K. Bruce, Robert Smalls, and Joseph Rainey, they unite
against the oppression of the ruthless slave owner Stephen Duncan.
However, their quest for freedom faces an unexpected twist when ally John
R. Lynch betrays their pursuit of liberation.
- Tell us who you
think might be your Change Agent and give a few sentences about how that
character fits the role. Also, include: – Their vision: – Their past
experience that fits that vision:- Captain Samuel
Cuffe. He’s the perfect change agent because being a Captain of the
whaling ship, he is worldly, intelligent, used to being in charge, strong
willed. His vision is to get back home and out of slavery. His past experience
of being in charge and not a slave creates the perfect motivation for the
vision.
- Tell us who you
think might be your Transformable Character(s) and give a few sentences
about how that character or characters fit the role.- Current slaves Blanche K. Bruce,
Robert Smalls, and Joseph Rainey. They are men who are not satisfied with
the norm. They feel compelled to be something better, end slavery, create
a better world and living conditions for the African Americans in the United
States.
- Tell us who or
what you think might be The Oppression and give a few sentences about how
The Oppression works in your story.- Ruthless slave
owner Stephen Duncan. Obviously, he wants to keep all his slaves, keep
them working, dumb and obedient. He is ruthless in his oppression with
the beatings, care for his slaves.
- Tell us who you
think might be your Betraying Character and give a few sentences about how
that character fits the role.- John R. Lynch.
Although he initially goes along with the plan to escape, his demeaner as
a sheepish, timid, cowardly man afraid of change and the possible repercussions
overcomes him.
