Your homework will require you to write from the perspective and voice of another character. This is not a “Rewrite”. Your writing should go deep into the internal conflict of the character you choose. you may only repeat three lines total from the original story (this will probably be dialogue). The focus should really be on flashbacks, perceptions, lens, etc of the other character.
