Short Story Rationale (rough idea) - The Boxer


The aspects of journey that I will be exploring in my short story are physical and inner journeys. The protagonist of the story is a young boxer who joined the Jimmy Sharman boxing tent to learn how to defend himself. The setting is the return to his home town for the local show. The Boxer has learnt about himself though the many fights he has had. The concept of journey in my story is that life is a circle and you have the option to either repeating the journey or going down different path. I will represent the concept of journey in the story through having a linear structure and the setting will be in the boxing ring. The techniques used will be a flashback to the boxer’s childhood and imagery of the boxing ring. The attitudes unpinning the story that is you have control of your own journey.
