There is 'Kim' by Rudyard Kipling. Although not solely about the Boer War, it has elements related to the imperial context which includes the Boer War period. Kipling's writing is rich in detail and his description of the era is quite immersive. The story follows the adventures of Kim, a young orphan in India during this time of great colonial upheaval which also encompassed the Boer War in South Africa.
One well - known Boer War fiction book is 'The Four - Feathered Fool' by A. E. W. Mason. It's a classic that gives a vivid portrayal of the war and the characters involved.
Well, it could be about friendship. Bodie and Doyle might have new adventures that strengthen their bond as friends.
Well, first, think about your target audience. If it's for young adults, themes like first love or unrequited love might be popular. Then, consider the genre of the story. In a fantasy story, a love theme could involve star - crossed lovers from different magical realms. Another aspect is the cultural background. Different cultures have unique perspectives on love that can add depth to the theme.
The disappearance of the Roanoke Colony inspired 'American Horror Story: Roanoke'. In history, the settlers in Roanoke just disappeared. The show uses this as a base. It also might have been inspired by other local legends around the area where the colony was, but the core is definitely the strange vanishing of the colonists.
I'm not sure specifically which 'lefty righty christmas story' you mean. There could be many fictional or personal stories with such a title. It might be about two characters, one left - handed (lefty) and one right - handed (righty), during Christmas. Maybe they had different ways of decorating the Christmas tree or opening presents because of their handedness.
If the 'little red children story' is a story about a group's journey, then the main characters could be the bravest or the most curious among the little red children. For example, there could be a child who is always coming up with ideas to solve problems they encounter during their adventure. And also, there might be an older child who looks after the younger ones in the group.
Maybe the starfish itself is a key element. It could be that its appearance or behavior is central to the story.
Another lesson is that you don't have to be a martial arts expert to defend yourself. Simple moves like using your elbows or knees can be very effective. Just like in the story where a woman used her elbow to hit a guy who was getting too close in an inappropriate way on the bus. And also, confidence matters. If you act confident, the attacker might think twice.
The historical setting. It's set in a very interesting period which adds depth to the mystery. Also, the characters are well - developed, especially the alienist himself.
One crazy back story could be about a lost treasure. Legend has it that a pirate hid his vast fortune on a remote island centuries ago. He was betrayed by his crew, and in a fit of rage, he buried the treasure and drew a complex map. Since then, many adventurers have searched for it, but the island's ever - changing geography and the pirate's devious traps have kept the treasure hidden. Another could be the back story of an old, haunted mansion. It was once the site of a cruel experiment by a mad scientist, and the ghosts are said to be the victims of his failed attempts.
Well, Maynard could potentially say lines like 'Jules: And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.' It has a certain intensity that some people might like to quote. Another could be 'Vincent: Well, if my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions.' But this is all speculation as we don't really know Maynard's take on 'Pulp Fiction' quotes.
