In class, we talked about the strong voices of the characters who narrate "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "A&P." For your assignment, I would like you to write a passage of 400 words or more, that shows a living breathing human behind the story.
Don't worry too much about plot, just create a narrator with a distinctive voice. Try to avoid exposition. Don't *tell* us who the narrator is with phrases like, "I was born in Albany New York to a family of hairbrush salesmen..."; *show* us who he/she is with his/her thoughts, observations, actions, and dialogue.
