Homework
From an exercise provided by Leonie we considered a
list of characteristic and then created a story
displaying the characteristics.
David C wrote a
story of a creature of habit, Pam an attractive 40 something woman, Cath
looking for a solution, Lynn told the story of Sarah who arrived on a bride
ship, Terry wrote about a young girl’s coming of age, Helene told about Sally who
did a little skip. Geoff described and discussed the main female character from his Japanese novel. Mary wrote about Harry’s pain and regrets.
Develop a
character or use an existing one. Write the story of meeting your character in
a specific location - describe the city, location, year, season, furnishings,
others present. Remember to use aroma, noise, tactile objects, music and
atmosphere to add to your description.
