    Eric’s Creating Irony

    What I learned doing this assignment is, by incorporating irony, I’m adding depth, and in the case of my concept, humor, by presenting situations and outcomes that are contrary to expectations.

    Stanley, trying to project an image of power and self-confidence, routinely gets ‘dressed down’ by his overbearing wife.

    Jerry’s worsening dementia throws a wrench into the schemes, but it’s that forgetfulness that makes things turn out positive.

    The group schemes to grab the reins of power while campaigning on transparency.

    Despite Ming and Frankie being recovering gamblers, they spearhead a gambling operation at the retirement community.

    While Frankie loves living at the retirement community, he’ll only date women too young to live there.

    Jerry is the most broke of the bunch, yet he’s vying for the role of Treasurer on the Board.

    They’re all living in a community that prioritizes rest and relaxation in retirement, yet the group of four are undertaking schemes that’ll make them busier than they ever were.

    BWTV – AI Module 1 Lesson 11

    Deanne’s Elevated Character Profiles

    What I learned doing the past three lessons – the word “breakthrough” throws me off track. I visualize a pony jumping through paper stretched over a large hoop. Ta Da! This past lesson gave me the breakthrough that “breakthrough” can also mean “discovery,” like when I step into the world of my story and walk around with the characters and discover what’s there. I never knew before that Jorge’s mower needs a new sparkplug, but I suspect that’s irrelevant to the plot.

    I have created detailed character profiles (2 to 4 pages) for each of my five lead characters and used ChatGPT to help me condense the information, ending up with a 1-2 sentence “snapshot” for each character I can refer to when I need to be reminded what their essence is. But one of the characters is coming across as too nice, so I need to follow him around a bit more to find out what else he’s hiding. Everything I’ve thought of for him so far is a cliche’. I don’t want to give him warts that will serve only to distract from the story.
