Select one author from the second half of the semester and the assigned literary work by that author. Use only authors and works listed on the syllabus for the second half of the semester. Use content from the assigned literature of that author and create a social media post from the perspective of one of the characters. Recreate a section, a happening, or a passage using your own words and pretending to be the character. Be sure to stay in character and only use ideas that your character would have possibly said. You may use modern language, including slang. Avoid violent words unless it’s within the context of the work of literature.
Here’s an example to show you how to get started: Hi Followers! It’s been a long night. I had a super confusing journey into the forest. . . . In the rest of this response, I would be specific with details about that night in the forest.
This assignment should be at 9-15 sentences long. Write a detailed paragraph from the character’s perspective. Remember there is a difference in the author and the character. For example, Poe isn’t a psychopath who murdered his wife and Hawthorne doesn’t go on a journey in the forest. Those actions are done by characters these authors created.
After posting your initial response, read and comment on four other posts. Comments should be 1-3 detailed sentences.
When commenting on these four posts, stay in character. Write what you think would be a typical social media reply to the four posts. Try to be creative with your responses. I understand that social media responses are often short. For this assignment, avoid one word general responses, such as “wow, interesting, good job,” and so on. Respond with something relevant to that character and work.
The initial post is 34 points and each comment is 4 points each.
Grades are based on content and creativity. Be sure to use your own words and avoid using AI/ChatGPT to create your assignment.
