s13 INTERWRIT Assignment 01: Just Before or Just After
This challenge is for my students, though anyone is welcome to join in.
Please visit this movie: http://youtu.be/vdOmrcM8jJM
and watch from 42:02 to 49:55.
It is The Kid by Charles Chaplin.
The challenge is to view the video sequence (if you are familiar with it already, just forget the rest of the story and focus on this one sequence, please), and then select one or more of the characters (the Kid, the Tramp (Chaplin), or another character) and give us a scene that takes place just before or just after what we see in the video—let’s give it a one-day time frame in either direction, at most. Please use regular fiction prose, with dialogue and narration.
Enjoy!
Best,
“Scurvy Swab”
