Collection of Quotations from my Personal Stories

Story (Sto-ry)
Noun
Plural: Stories
A fictional tale shorter than a narrative that tells a series of incidents or events.

My collection is based on quotations from stories I have written and objects that match the quote.
List:
1.“You are the White Rose to my Black Heart.”
The objects that match this quote are a black heart pillow that I cut, sewed, and stuffed myself and a white rose that I dried out, so it will last for a long time. The contrast between black and white objects are classic to portray good versus evil, but in my story, I use the opposing forces as compliments to bond opposing forces.
2.“Dear Tehara,
I was in the village today and saw some children playing a game of dice. They only had one die that was homemade- clearly the kids are too poor to purchase a real pair- but, oddly, they were content none the less. I am learning lots from my trip, I must go now.
Hope you are well,
Alison”
I glued together badly cut pieces of cardboard and covered it in scrap paper to make it appear as if a poor child made it. The symbolic meaning of the dice was that happiness can be found in the most unlikely situations with very little on hand.
3.“On the desk laid five cards: the Ace of Diamonds, the Ace of Clubs, the Ace of hearts, the Ace of Hearts, the Ace of Spades, and, on top lay the colored Joker. Freya smiled to herself and picked up the hand she was dealt, feeling the confidence to continue moving forward.”
I glued the five cards in the order given and they looked like a hand spread out. The aces are the ultimate cards and the joker is unique, the Joker is important in the story, because the character that falls in love with the main character is a Court Jester.
4.“These are the magic stones from the legend, that much is true. But I will not return them to the lab; they are going back to the planet where they belong!”
The magic stones are polished rocks of different colors that I collected as a child. The stones are a variety of colors and are supposed to have an assortment of powers that all represent an ideal characteristic through supernatural powers.
5.
“Tick-Tock
Tick-Tock
Goes the clock
As it counts down the time until…”
These are the beginning words to a story that relates the magic of time. I made a cardboard pocket watch, because I did not want to bring my pocket watch that I got from my dad, into class- but for the reproduction, I will most likely use the real watch.
6. “Only a demon can raise an angel.”
The object I will use will probably be a picture of a person dressed up as a demon and a person dressed as an angel, with Photoshop edits. The background would be a forest with lights and the demon would be caring for the angel. This is the main quote from the story, it is also the title- there is heavy significance behind the words, figurative and literal in the story.
7.
“One, like a heavy heart…
Two, like a falling tree…
Three, like a flying bird.”
I will create an image that portrays each subject with the abstract number that corresponds to each part. There are three fairies that are speaking in riddle to a girl as they carry her away from her troubles.
8. “Revenge is unnecessary because those who hurt you get what they deserve when they are meant to learn a life lesson. Try to forgive the person that did this to you and be at peace.”
I would represent this lesson showing a viciously cut-up and burned candle next to one that has not been lit. In this part of the story, a girl that can speak to ghosts is leaving an institution and subtly releasing a ghost from her vengeful state.
9. “Akiko step foot on the stage and stared in awe at the trapeze set, everything was falling into place, she quickly ran up the ladder and jumped on one of the swings…”
In this part of the story, Akiko finally reached the position she had always desired in the circus; she realizes that life is not terrible. The trapeze symbolizes her freedom and happiness, I want to have a mobile with people hanging and looking as if they are swinging in the air.
10. “She pulled out a fan, from far away it appeared normal, but when stared at closely, one would see the sharp metal that mimicked wood that was sharpened at the tips and the heavy fabric with Dominicia’s symbol elegantly painted.”
I have a fan collection that I will use to take the place of the fan described in the quote. Dominicia is the ‘white rose,’ mentioned earlier. Her weapon of choice is a customized fan that she uses with elegant, deadly dance moves.
