Final Major Projects

Ben Varley

My final idea is about a boy who wakes up thinking he it's a regular

morning until he realises that if he claps his hands or clicks his fingers, he
turns invisible, with this power, he works out that he can have fun with his
new found power and what to do with it and he can enjoy it, as he does not
know how long he has got it for so he has to make the most of it. He has
fun with it and enjoys it playing jokes and decides not to tell people that he
has this power. However it also shows you the complete, of being able to
seclude yourself from everyone and everything, and shows you the
loneliness this 'amazing power' can give to you and how it is not all good.
The story concludes with the boy getting used to this power and ends up
trying not to use it as little as possible as it shows the audience that, how
powers and how having extra significant things will not always help me.
