Create a story using these words poor man, doctor, forgive, request, child

Question

Poor man

Doctor

Forgive

Request

Child

Answer 1

In this case, the words provided sort of give away a simple plot: someone who is unable to afford the cost of care, and the verbs "forgive" and "request" certainly point to a kind of pathos/ethos storyline. In order to make the story "pop" start with that basic thread of a poor man asking a doctor to forgive the cost of care, and then add adjectives, or adverbs.

It's much more vivid to write "The kind, old doctor, his brow furrowed and his eyes softened by the years understood the man's plight and decided to waive the cost of care..." instead of "the doctor understood and forgave the cost."

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

As rain pelted against the window of the austere medical complex the poor man begged the doctor to forgive the bill he owed for the treatment of his child's shingles.

Answer 3

If your only requirement is to use the given words you have a lot of freedom when writing. Consider the following:

A setting: where does the story take place? (perhaps a hospital because you need to use doctor)

Characters: Who is the story about? (a doctor as noted above and his patients: the child or poor man

Plot: What happens in the story? (perhaps some conflict between the poor man being unable to afford treatment for his child or himself)

I think you could work in request and forgive given that basic set up iwithout too much touble.

Good luck!
