Bringing an object to life

If you could bring one inanimate object to life, what would it be?

Your mother's prom dress, your teacher's mirror, your boyfriend's or girlfriend's bedroom wall? What questions would you ask this object? Write your response in a screenplay form.

For example:

ME: So, prom dress. Tell me. When my mother was sixteen, what sort of trouble did she get into?

PROMDRESS: Well, let me tell you! You are going to be shocked when you hear this!

(Ten lines of conversation)

"Animal Instinct"

Which animal do you think you most closely resemble?





Consider: 
  • quiet animals like mice; 
  • bold and fearless ones like lions; 
  • eager, friendly ones like dogs; 
  • and finicky secretive ones like cats. 
Consider your appearance, your personality and the way you move. Then write about the animal with which you feel a kinship, explaining how you are similar in personality, characteristics, and/or physical features.
