Anime as a link to writing...

I found the second reading about anime to be very interesting. I think it is great that the two girls Eileen and Rhiannon are writing stories. No matter what they are about. I think about it being similar to me giving my students a picture prompt and telling them to write a story or read a book and write an alternate ending to the story. It seemed as if their writing was more of a science fiction type of writing but I'm not sure. I would love for my students to be able to write a story based from anime or manga. Whatever keeps them interested!!!
