STEP 1: Complete the handout from Tuesday's class titled 'Warped Narrative'.
STEP 2: Choose three moments in your life (you can embellish or create fictional events if you want) and imitate the style and structure of Vonnegut’s narrative. Warp through your life and make connections between significant moments. Write a minimum of three paragraphs that follow the same unconventional story-telling style. Consider using figurate language and repetitive phrases (e.g. So it goes) in your writing.

Sir, do we also have to imitate Vonnegut's writing style? Like the tone of his voice or just copy his idea of time travelling?
ReplyDeleteTry to throw some Vonnegutisms in there. For example, use creative figurative language and repetitive phrasings if you can. But I'm more concerned with imitating the narrative structure more than the style.
