Over this past week, I have finished the first three chapters of my novella. In my first chapter, I wrote above Hermann Weber and him trying to learn English. This was a real event that happened with a different crew member. Taking different personalities and events from other crew members, I formed several fictional characters.
The second chapter was of Walter Schmidt, written in a diary-type entry, speaking of the unfairness of his lack of food. Again, this is a real event of one of the crew members who was considered “too fat” and not given second servings when other crew members were. My final character was written from the point of view from a young boy who was reading the newspaper under his father’s proud eye when he about u-boats, which sparked his fascination. I have also written down some questions about these characters (how old are they, where were they born, etc.) to better know themselves. Overall, everything is going to plan.
