Instructions Choose a character from Everyday Use ,https://harpers.org/archive/1973/04/everyday-use/ preferably a character whose background is considerably different from yours. Write a 750-1000 word (approximately 3-4pp) paper imagining a conversation with this character. Think about the character’s “voice” and try to keep as true to the character created by the original author as possible. This paper should involve both imagination and analysis: in order to do it well, you’ll have to really analyze the character. At the same time, you’ll need to imagine the situation and your responses. Do you think you would get along? What could you learn from this character? What could this character learn from you? Do you have any mutual interests or sympathies? Do you want to ask any questions about unresolved issues in the story? The paper’s format is up to you – it can be an essay about your talk, or it can read like a short story. In either case, however, it should include a conclusion exploring what you have learned about yourself by imaginatively interacting with both the story we have read and the character which is now a mutual creation of the author and yourself.
