“That's what fiction is for. It's for getting at the truth when the truth isn't sufficient for the truth.”
-Tim O'Brien
Writing Assignment:
Your
task is to create a piece of historical fiction, which must also have
elements of a murder mystery/thriller. You have the option of
choosing the genre you want to work with; you can create a short story, a
dramatic performance piece, or an adapted screenplay (the original
screenplay of the book is less than mediocre, we will watch it in
class).
All of these genres must include:
-actual historical events or a specific time period
-multiple narrations
-quotes, newspaper clippings/articles, historical facts, etc.
-you may also want to include multiple hypotheses to leave your reader/viewer the the joy of an ambiguous "conclusion"
***All
of these choices must be of INTERESTING length!
