“The Fifth Story” by Clarice Lispector
Write a story about dealing
with or coping with something you are afraid of. Create a controlling image (or images) that embody the fear and/or how it is coped or dealt with. (If you'd rather not deal (or cope) with fear, deal with another strong emotion like love or joy or sadness or worry.) Then write at least
four variations of that story that do not contradict the first story:
add on, take away, focus on different aspects of the story (writing
style, perspectives, tone, pacing, psychological detail, suggestive
imagery, symbolic imagery, setting…). Give the overall story and the
variations different titles. (The titles can be incorporated in the
story.)
