ENGLISH
Storytelling with a Twist! ππ
Let's shake things up and explore different narrative perspectives!
Your Mission:
Choose a familiar story or event (it could be a fairy tale, a historical event, or even something that happened to you).
Now, retell the story from a different point of view.
For example, if you choose Little Red Riding Hood, you could tell the story from the wolf's perspective, or from the perspective of a tree in the forest.
Write a short story or a few paragraphs, focusing on how the different perspective changes the narrative.
Bonus Challenges:
Use different voices and tones to reflect the unique perspective of your chosen narrator.
Explore how the change in perspective affects the reader's understanding and sympathy for the characters.
