Character #1 – Mother – This is a mother who is selfish and
greedy. She does not care about her three daughters. She did not want to have
them in the first place. This mother would barely put food on the table. She
did not care about her daughter’s wellbeing. She was also an alcoholic. This mother
just cared about getting money one way or another. This will be the first
character I reveal.
Character #2 - Courtney – Courtney is the oldest of the 3
daughters. She has assumed the role of the mother. She cooks dinner for her
sisters. She makes sure their laundry is done. She helps them with homework.
Courtney is a senior in college. She is also Pre-Med. Courtney has taken out a
lot of loans and has had many jobs to pay for everything.
Character #3 – Jasmine – Jasmine
is the second oldest. Jasmine is a freshmen in college. She does as much as she
can to help out Courtney with running the house hold. Jasmine is an engineering
major. She is also very hard working and determined. Jasmine is studious and
very intelligent, but also has a risky side to her. Jasmine has anger
management problems and despise her mother.
Character #4 – Lilly- Lilly is the youngest of the three. She is a
senior in high school. Lilly like her sisters are very mature for her age. She
is hard working and dedicated. She is a cheerleader. She makes good grades and
is part of the honor society. Lilly is the one who has the soft spot for her
mother. She is the one that is most willing to give her mother the money she
makes working her part time job. Lilly is attending college after she graduates
as a pre-law major.
The story will be about how this mother does not care one bit
about her daughters until they become something. All three daughters will end
up being successful. Then the mother will come crying to them for help and
their support. She will ask for money and a place to live. She will go to each
daughter, and each daughter will handle things very differently. It will show
that being greedy cannot get you anywhere. This story is based off the story “The
Mallard that Asked for Too Much.” The mother in this story was greedy and
wanted to pluck all of the gold feathers off the bird in case the bird would
not return. When she attempted to do this the gold feathers were not gold
anymore and bird flew away and never came back.

Bibliography:
I like the idea of this story a lot. In my personal opinion I would like to see how you will write this story because of how interesting the character's dynamic would be. I think greedy is something a lot of countries look at America as being and this story is relevant to what many people may struggle with. It is a good lesson to learn when someone is trying to have a happy life.
