I want to write another FF, but I'm racking my brain for the perfect idea. I was doing some research for my AP composition class and found myself rifling through old fairytale plots. I saw one that caught my eye - you can probably understand why by the name. It was "The Three Brothers" and I looked further into it. I couldn't find the basis of the actual story, but it turns out there was an old Italian film of the same name. Here's the main idea of the film: When the matriarch of a family passes, her husband summons his three sons back for the funeral. All three of them are going through personal struggles. One, the youngest, is a prominent lawyer and in the middle of a very public case. The second is in the middle of a failed marriage. The eldest, is settling into his job as a youth counselor and realizing his dreams of helping young adultst through his interest in religion. With the familiar surroundings of their childhood, the come to realize that life would be easier with each other for support. The whole family, including their little sister and father, is drawn back together through the loss of their mother. In her will, it turns out the one thing she wanted the most was just that - her family to be a family yet again. I thought it was very ironic and interesting. Obviously, the little sister would become Frankie and their personal problems may differ. That is where I need opinions. Should I go through with this, would you read, and what do you think each brother would go through. I was thinking, Nick as possible president? Kevin or Joe with a troubled marriage? and I'm unsure of another.
