Story and CCQ Writing with Claude.ai

Write a short story for beginner-level English learners that follows the full story circle/narrative arc outlined by Dan Harmon. The main character should undergo a profound psychological/philosophical transformation by the end.

The story must:

• Use all 12 verb tenses in English (simple present, present progressive, present perfect, present perfect progressive, simple past, past progressive, past perfect, past perfect progressive, future, future progressive, future perfect, future perfect progressive)
• Be about the adventures of a teenage boy around 14-16 years old from Japan
• Contain fantasy/magical realism elements
• Use straightforward vocabulary and simple sentence structures suitable for beginner English level
• Highlight around 8-10 potentially difficult vocabulary words at the end

Initially just write a first draft hitting the main story beats. I will provide feedback if any parts of the story circle are missing, especially the main character’s psychological transformation.

Be prepared to revise and simplify the vocabulary further while maintaining good grammar and natural-sounding English phrasing. Double check that all 12 verb tenses are still included after revisions.

The end result should be an engaging, easy-to-read story for beginner English students that takes them through a compelling journey where the main character experiences a paradigm shift in their perspective on life.”
