Writing assignment--Things They Carried

WRITING:Begin working on a nonlinear narrative assignment:


Your assignment:

Write a short story of at least 5 pages that:

1. Has a historical background of your choice--

2. Explores multiple narrative lines--present/past--flashback stories within a story.


3. Uses a traditional 1st or 3rd person narrative but breaks it up with intertextuality and metafiction:
  a. Evidence paragraphs or sections--quotes, interviews, newspaper clippings, historical facts, etc.  
  b. Hypotheses sections--places where you as a writer question what you've written or possible endings
