• Due Tuesday, Oct 21, 2014- End of Class

In a creative short story, you will have the chance to grapple with this question and offer some insight into this essential question.


YOUR TASK: Write a 2-3 page creative short story in which a single event is witnessed twice through two different pairs of eyes, from two different perspectives.  Choose two very different people as vehicles for the story to show how a single image or event can be interpreted differently.




CHECKLIST:

___One event or one image - consistent facts shared in both narratives

___Two different perspectives – either both in first person or both written in third person point of view

___Dialogue included – must be exactly the same in both narratives

___ Strong, concrete details

___ An element of irony, misunderstanding, confusion, humor, or sadness revealed through differing interpretations of the same event
