TO ESSAY: SHORT STORY REWRITE
Imagine yourself in any one of the three stories you have just read. You may take the place of one of the existing
characters, or you can simply insert yourself into the story. What would have been different if you were the character or if
you were there?
OBJECTIVES
Write a 250-word story.
Instructions:
Choose any one of the stories, following the major events that take place in them, but change the actions and characters in
the story. For example, what would you have differently if you were in Della's position? Or how would you have defeated
General Zaroff? Write a story of at least 250 words.

This excerpt is from “the poet” by alfred, lord tennyson. the poem describes a poet's consciousness and perception. which three lines suggest the richness of a poet's thoughts? thus truth was multiplied on truth, [the world like one great garden show'd,] and thro' the wreaths of floating dark upcurl'd, rare sunrise flow'd. [and freedom rear'd in that august sunrise] her beautiful bold brow, when rites and forms before his burning eyes melted like snow. [there was no blood upon her maiden robes] sunn'd by those orient skies; but round about the circles of the globes of her keen eyes and in her raiment's hem was traced in flame wisdom, a name to shake [all evil dreams of power--a sacred name.] and when she spake, [her words did gather thunder as they ran,] and as the lightning to the thunder which follows it, riving the spirit of man, making earth wonder, so was their meaning to her words. no sword of wrath her right arm whirl'd, [ but one poor poet's scroll, and with 'his' word] she shook the world.
