Reading longtimelurker's post on the triangle was so interesting. That was a good link. The school playground is a good place to observe the triangle. The victim turns into the hunter. Scary stuff. The hunter gathers support. Mutual friends are forced to take sides. Onlookers cheering, coldly commenting. Injuries to be attended to after so the carers are in their element, and glad to finally be put to use. They remain faceless till a fight. Real life hey.

This is off topic, but sort of related to longtimlurkers thread, so I put it as a new topic.

I was doing some narrative work recently with someone. There's an old technique used for teaching how to write narrative. It's based on 'Cinderella.' I had to write three Cinderella stories, done in 1st, 2nd, 3rd person narrative. The 3rd person narrative is the story you'd write if you weren't Cinderella but you were say one of the step-sisters. This is the beginning of a brief rushed version,


Here goes,

"After my father died my mother re-married a man whose wife died. He has a daughter called Cinderella who is now my step-sister. I have one full-blood sister also. My sister and I have been so miserable since father died and having to leave our ffriends and school and come to live in 'their' house.

Cinderella is so much prettier than me and my sister, and our step-father is always reminding us of that. he's always telling her how beautiful she is and he's never once told us we're beautiful. Also, Cinderella gets so depressed all the time and is alaaysbringing up her mother to step-father, in front of us, reminding him how beautiful she was. That makes our mother sad and depressed. Our mother isn't beautiful, but she's avery hard working woman. It feels like everytime Cinderella brings her mother up, our step-father distances himself from us a litttle bit more each time.

And Cinderella gets constantly depressed. We try to keep her mind off it, keep her busy. Mother says this is the best way to deal with depression or depressed people. "Put a broom in their hand," has always been our mother's motto. She's always taught us not to dwell on the past. And ur mother has always insisted that we never mention our father when step-father is around, so why doesn't he do the same with Cinderella..... and so on.
