I need a short story idea, please!?

Question

Um, I need a short story idea for my english homework. It has to have a theme. My english teacher assigned me a theme and it's: quality is more important than quantity. Any ideas on what I can write about that shows this theme?

Answer 1

ok, how about you write a story about a girl your age. She never had many friends, but she had one really really good friend. She decided that she wanted to be more popular so she ditched the good friend to try and make more friends. Then at the end of the story, have something like she realizes that the many friends aren't very good friends and shes glad to just have one. This shows that its better to have one friends than 10 bad ones.

Hope this helped you, and good luck! :)

Answer 2

What about a funny, modern world twist on a old fairy tale?  Or a girl/guy who is battling a serious disease, the possibilities are endless. What about a crazy man who has an odd obsession with his toes, he thinks they talk to him. If you have to read it out loud make sure its funny.  

Answer 3

A basket maker was known far and wide

for his colorful, different shaped, and

unique baskets.

Only, he was growing older, and his

son joined in.

His son made them faster with

machinery.  The son thought

it'd bring in more profits.

Only, people were not satisfied.

They fell apart easily.

The son made more baskets(

quantity) but the quality was poor.
