The Origin Story of Puss in Boots
Once upon a time in a far away land existed a cat. The cat was not an ordinary one. His name was Puss and he was able to speak just like the people and wore black boots.
Puss' parents were brutally murdered by a wolves when he was just a young boy. and would change him forever. Just before the wolves arrived at their home, his parents hid him. Watching his parents die right before his eyes changed him forever.
A few days later when Puss ran out of food and water, he walked into the nearby town. He was spotted by a man by the name of Marquis. Marquis felt bad for the poor cat and brought him food and water without any questions. The man told him that he would leave food and water outside of his door in case he needed anything. This went on for a few weeks until, Marquis finally asked where his family was and what was wrong. Feeling indebted to the man, Puss felt obligated to tell him.
After hearing how the cat had lost his parents, Marquis felt horrible and offered to let Puss stay at his home with him. Puss immediately accepted and was extremely thankful for Marquis graciousness. So thankful that Puss promised to repay him through his friendship, loyalty, and animal hunting ability.
Now that Puss lived in the town, he was walking on hard ground a lot more. This caused his feet to hurt, get sore, and his nails to dull. Luckily for Puss, Marquis knew just what to do. Marquis bought him custom sized black leather boots to protect his hind feet. After a while, Puss was able to walk on his hind legs just like a human. Puss and Marquis were the best of friends and did everything together. This is the origin story of Puss in Boots and the rest is history.

Author's Note
The original story was pretty much nothing like this one and Puss' parents were not murdered by wolves. I wanted to write a more personal story about the relationship between Marquis and Puss because I felt like the original did not tell much about it. In the original, the author tells a lot about how Puss essentially gets Marquis married to the princess, but not really much about why Puss feels the need to do so much for him.

I really enjoyed your version of the story. I think it definitely shows why Puss would want to help Marquis out. I like how Marquis was willing to help Puss out and give him a place to stay, especially since he had nobody. It is sad that he would have to witness his parents being murdered. Overall, I enjoyed your story.
ReplyDeleteI liked that you completely took the story and ran with a new plot that was all your own. It was really creative! It was definitely a fun read, and I liked that you made the connection between Marquis and Puss the main focus of the story. There were a few minor grammatical errors here and there, but nothing too major! Overall, I really enjoyed the story! I think you did a great job!
ReplyDeleteMichael. I like that you looked at a story, but completely changed it. This brought a lot of originality onto the table. It's funny that you chose the character of "Puss in Boots" and put him within a story for this class. I like how the story flowed well in a chronological aspect. The actions are brief and all flow together due to the pacing so great job with that. It is sad that his parents were murdered by wolves, but I like that the relationship between Marquis and Puss in Boots lightened the mood. Great job with this story.
