Interpretation of the story—All the pictures are action oriented. The action in any story can be
based on three things

Person or Situation or The movement, Gesture, Stepping
Hero the environment and body language
around the Hero
See Gentleman, this picture demands a short term goal. The short term goal requires an urgent
mission. The situation around the hero and the environment also supports that the hero should undertake
some urgent mission or risk or problem but gentleman inspite of involving your hero with some
emergency or urgent mission you are introducing your hero as an Army officer who comes on leave and
finds water problem causing a lot of scarcity to villagers. He further gathers villagers and briefs about
water management through water harvesting. Again you are making a team of youth to make the other
villagers aware. Since you have not perceived the obvious properly and further you have not acted
according to the demand of the situation. The first reason is that you have not written the story around
the persons and situations shown in the picture.
Secondly, you have not answered three basic thematic questions that is—

What led to the situation ?

What is happening ?

&
What is the out come of that happening ?

Because of the above reasons your story is again not desirable. The best way is first you perceive a
problem according to the obvious, then at the second stage introduce a hero and give him the task. At
the time of allotting the task you have to imagine whether stress is given in the obvious or not ?. If not
then you have to perceive the stress. Having perceived the stress, engage your hero to combat the stress.
Combating the stress should be managed and executed stage by stage that too in actual sense. This is
such a stage which reveals most of the OLQs, therefore, it requires the practical and possible
deployment of resources, manpower etc. If you practice and follow the above stages your story will
automatically become desirable.
You have not been able to meet the requirement due to your vague and unwanted details in the
introduction, haphazard planning for the management of the crisis stage by stage and that too not proper
and right deployment of the resources.
Interpretation; (taking parameter in context)—Repetition in psychology is against the doctrine
of imagination. In most of stories you have written that hero hailed from the remote area. Again you are
writing in most of the stories that he liked since childhood, again it is of no use. When hero liked
adventures activity since his childhood he should undertake the same single mission and not the other
one.
SSB is a problem solving behaviour and TAT is a problem solving behaviour in a single or particular context.
In most of the stories you have mixed ‘two’ some ‘times’ three missions. In this story, please you
see how you have sauced or sandwiched two objects or missions. What you have done and why ? Let
me evaluate it.
“Gentleman, your hero is interested in adventures activities since childhood therefore you should
have handed over the task related to adventure, trekking or mountaineering. For what your hero
becomes the lecturer ? Please tell me just to only motivate the youth to participate in adventures
activities ? and again tell me can’t he motivate without being a lecturer ? and how much time gap you
have created while writing the story that Vinay liked the adventures activities since his childhood and
