Extra Credit Part 1 (24 points max)
Choose ONE (1) of the following:
A) Category List - Goodness knows I gave you a number of examples for each sub-subgenre I listed. Now it's your turn! Come up with an example for each kind of element I listed in the lesson. You can list each one in a sentence or two, or you can turn it into a short story. If you go the short story route, please keep in mind I'm not expecting you to use every element I listed. 200 words minimum for short story.
B) Element Imagery - If you would rather, draw something that encompasses two or more of the elements in the lesson. If you want to draw a stitched-up bird powered by clockwork technology, you are more than welcome to! Just make sure you let me know what components you're incorporating for your illustration. This can be done via drawing/Photoshop, etc.
Please make sure to upload your pictures on an image site like Photobucket, Imageshack, or Tinypic, as I will not be opening attachments.
C) Narration Sensation - Below are a list of scenarios that coincide with a sub-subgenre I talked about in the lesson. From the sentence or two, identify the element(s) that is/are being utilized. Each identification is 2 points.

- Sally wasn't sure where the appeal was in such a frightening-looking doll, but her daughter seemed to like it. She supposed it was acceptable, it having so much pink in the frills.
- People say a lot about the pale Lord Mortimor von Slatten. But whether he was a vampire or not still remained to be seen.
- The journey halted when their caravan broke down. Winston comforted his wife, telling her that they're bound to find someone to fix their mechanical horse in no time.
- "Ye've not lived London life unless ye've been to these parts," the man said, his soot-stained face one of disdain. "The rich stick to themselves, best avoid them as necessary."
- Lorcas and Edith were both from baseborn families and were considered in the lower rung of society. But boy could they play the hierarchy game better than most.
- "Timing," Artemys said to the lowly apprentice, "it's the only thing that matters." With that said, the master returned to a new invention, an insect made up of gears and timepieces.
- "Elementary my dear Lila, the world's greatest detective is never far from his favorite set of exploding pens!"
- Aurora was an independent bounty hunter, but she did sometimes recall her tryst with a most maddening smuggler. She really should get his smoldering green eyes out of her head.
- The music box was of extraordinary make, polished wood on the outside. But inside is an entire world of dance and song, and all it took was the winding of a key.
- "Ouch!" said Sam, dropping his work with annoyance. "Sometimes I wish these things sewed themselves closed."
- The tavern was closed when she traipsed in, but the barkeep didn't mind any. Cecily was the quickest draw in town, and nobody was keen on crossing her path.
- The city glittered at night, seemingly peaceful and undisturbed by noise. Yet underneath, it clanked and groaned with the sound of engines, for the work never ends.
