Gum Story Inspiration
We have been making gum stories for the past 3 or 2 weeks. It helps us practice our point of view. We have different stories because we read this book called Pop! The Invention of Bubble Gum by Meghan McCarthy. The stories can be typed or written. We have many creative ideas that can be made up. The point of this is to get into different peoples point of view and to think how others feel. The main character of the book was Walter Diemer. Walter was a young accountant and balanced budgets. But it all changed after the lab had no room downstairs, so they moved into the room next to Walters. One day some said to look after a bowl of different chemicals, but after a while he was actually doing it, he was making it… HE WAS MAKING BUBBLE GUM! After he made the bubble gum he gave a piece for everyone in the office but a day later it hardened. So he kept working on it week after week, month after month and he saw it bubbling so he knew that this was it so he added a bit of color to it (Pink was the only color they had) The bubble gum was selling from stores and it made the kids happy on Christmas and it sold out that afternoon. He worked for the company Fleer Chewing Gum Company in Philadelphia which was almost bankrupt but by helping make bubble gum he saved the company with its newest name Dubble Bubble.
