The Holy Trinity
By Jasmine Cruz
Story idea: a story about the debate world. Three debaters named Ferlize, Jhareline and Hughert want to become internationally acclaimed debaters. Their story is narrated by five characters. Everytime the story is narrated, something is ommitted and the story changes completely.
The dramatic question/ dramatic theme/message of story: truth is nothing but perception
Point of view: five vantage points:
1.) bitchy debater who is the source of all rumors
2.) Old debater god who comes back to coach the new debaters
3.) A gay debater
4.) A non-varsity debater who desperately wants to fit in
5.) A adjudicator
Characters:
1.) Ferlize=naturally good debater
2.) Jharelina= became a debater by accident
3.) Hughert= eager beaver
Events:
• Blog wars
• Backstabbing
• Partying
• Love triangle
• Rise to fame
Research method:
• I will research on psychological articles on the phenomenon of rumors.
• I will research on the philosophy of truth (Luijpen, Marcel, Descartes, Hume)

hi, jasmine! i love the idea of a little world of debaters being pierced and examined by more or less unreliable narrators and observers hahaha. sige, go ahead and conceive of a good structure to accommodated this multiple-voiced story. kaya lang, there still has to be some sort of a central consciousness pa rin, just for narrative control. you can either choose one character to be the central consciousness, or it could be the world of debate itself which is the central consciousness -- i can't quite explain how that will go but i can sort of hear it already. we can talk some more on this in class.
