INTRODUCTION

HERE IS AN EXAMPLE BASED ON MBFZG.

INTRO (tell the story how he was created)

Many months ago, a boy named Mark bought a goldfish and decided to poison it for his experiment. When the fish started dying, Mark`s brother decided to save him using batteries. The fish came back to life. The fish was green and slimy with red big eyes. He called him Frankie. Mark discovered that Frankie has special powers. If you look in his big red eyes, you become hypnotized. His strengths are that he is fast and strong and his weaknesses are that he does not like oxygen since he is a fish.

BODY

MAIN BODY (tell two small story examples about how he is a good and bad monster)

One day, Frankie was in trouble and needed help so he looked at a young girl and hypnotized her so she can help him. Another day, Frankie decided to use his power to control many people to fight with other people.

CONCLUSION

CONCLUSION(tell me your opinion about whether you think your monster is good or evil with the reason)

After Frankie`s many adventures, I can say that Frankie is a GOOD monster because he uses his powers for good. He is sometimes aggressive with people he does not like or does not know but his hypnosis can help both himself and other people.
