Anyone have any ideas for a "short narrative"?

Question

I'm supposed to write a short narrative for English class but have no ideas what to write about. Help!

Answer 1

You're going to die suddenly, one month from now. Your health is going to remain good, up to the very last minute. You have one million dollars, US; a valid passport, and an open visa that will admit you anywhere in the world. What are you going to do/see/experience, in the time that remains left to you?

You wake up tomorrow morning, and discover you have been changed into a _________. (See Kafka's Metamorphosis.) How do you feel? What's it like, coping with a new body? Why did this happen to you--is it a gift, a joke, or a curse? What's the reaction of your family and friends? Do you want to change back?

You have to take over for the Angel of Death for six months. Now what?. Justify your actions.

Have fun, and good luck.

Answer 2

Write about an experience you had - yesterday or when you were younger. Or write about writer's block - a narrative of right now.

Answer 3

I suggest you write something that is interesting and thought provoking so that your narrative will be better appreciated. Why not write something about your point of view about the current news. You can also write something about religion or famous personalities.

Answer 4

Talk about a REAL life experience you've had and the emotion it evoked from you.

Examples: the day you got your pet; the day your grandmother died; the first time you babysat; your first Drivers Ed class; the hardest thing you ever did; the saddest day you've ever had; the day you said goodby to a friend who moved......etc..

Answer 5

Go to the grocery store and talk about your experience: what items you bought and why, how you felt, who you saw, what they looked like, what you thought of them, how was your checkout experience, did you learn anything from the experience.
