CreativeWriting Level 2 & Level 3: Directions : Complete two of the three tasks below. 1) In the story, Sea King sends ShimCheong back to the world, giving her a new life, because the King was moved by her utmost devotion to her father. Now, write a letter to Sea King telling him what happened before ShimCheong arrived in the Sea Palace. 2) There is a chain of events that leads to the ending of the story, two of which are the encounter of Shimcheong’s father with a monk and the sailors’ need to find a maiden for sacrificial offertory. Write about two events in your own life that are like the ones in the story. 3) The way ShimCheong’s father gained his eyesight in the story is quite dramatic. Now, think of other ways you would create the scene where ShimCheong’s father opens his eyes.
