I want my story book to be all about villains and their stories. How these villains got to where they are, and why they are how they are. One of my favorite villains is the Wicked Witch of the West, so of course I am going to base one of my stories off of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. I like how the Wicked Witch of the West has a sister who is good, there are so many possibilities with this story. Another fun read is How the Grinch Stole Christmas, everyone has read this story so we all know about the Grinch and his mean antics. When choosing my villains I am going to stay within children's stories, because I believe those are the best. There is not much back stories on children's villains as there is with other villains. I am going to use a different villain for each story I write.

Possible Styles:
Good Family- The villain I write about, will tell about their family and how everything was perfect. Nothing bad ever happened in this family, so everyone should turn out to be perfect angels after their childhood. Explaining how he/she turned into what they are today, how nothing is ever as perfect as it seems is what the villain will be doing. Specific events that helped turn them from good to bad, because of course no one is born evil. This story will be told in first person.
Bad Family- Even though you are not born evil, you can be born into evil. Which is what is going to happen in this style of story telling. The villain was doomed from the start, and there was not way out. Going along with what is directed as the right thing to do according to the family. This story will also be told in first person.
A Family Members View- A family member of the villain is going to tell why they believe the villain is how they are. What events they think cause this normal person to turn horrible. This story can be told in first person or third, I have not decided which one. Of course this family member loves, the villain unconditionally. Could be a mother, father, grandparent, the story possibilities are endless.
Bad Events- People go through life, experiencing all kinds of events. Some people experience more bad events then good, and that is how I am going to write this story. Talk about all the bad events that have happened in life to the villain. But towards the end of the story something really good is going to happen, and the villain is going to turn their life around. Will be wrote in third person.
