I liked the first story best . . . liberties or not.  It DID contain facts and a lot of imagination!   Very creative endeavor, patina.

I'm a historical archaeologist who loves westerns and Bonanza is my favorite. I wrote my first Bonanza story in 2006 and the plot bunnies are still hopping. The majority of my stories include the entire family and many are prequels set during the period when Ben and Marie were married.

  1. Haha! Sometimes it’s just so hard to not add your own twist to the facts. Miss Jones should have at least given some extra points to Joe for creativity and imagination!

    1. Thank you for reading, wx4rmk. Maybe Miss Jones mellowed as she aged and would give extra credit for creativity.

  2. Miss Jones marks hard. I have to agree that the first and the second essays are too full of Fake News to get a respectable grade. The third attempt — I’d say B- . The main facts are there, spelling, punctuation and paragraphing are good: but the style of writing is not very interesting . I don’t suppose Adam ‘d be happy with a B- either. Serves him right for being unwilling to help!

  3. This is a good story. Little Joe sure has a great imagination. Joe just likes to make things more interesting. If I was Miss Jones I would give Joe A for his imagination. I thought Joe’s easy was kind of funny.

  4. Miss Jones might not have been amused at Joe’s original essay but I am! I enjoyed his interesting take on how those historical events took place in both of the first two essays. Adam probably never earned a grade below an A in his schooling.

    1. Thank you, Jaspers Mom. Joe certainly tried to write his essay but found it was easier to use his imagination rather than facts. I’m glad to know you enjoyed this story.
