Question

For this assessment you must complete a first draft of your narrative story based on "The Pomegranate Seeds

Answer 1

Hey there!

I'm assuming you're in FLVS or some other virtual school program and you're taking English II. I had this same assessment last year in FLVS. In the future, be careful with asking for people to help you write papers, since plagiarism can be spotted really easy, especially in virtual school. 

From what I remember, you have to rewrite a new narrative story based on the original story The Pomegranate Seeds. I don't recall exactly what resources they give you to plan this new narrative story out, but I would suggest brainstorming some ideas based on the original and planning out your introduction. If you don't work off of planning so much as writing things out right away, try writing out a couple prefaces for your narrative story and see which one you like the most. Then, develop your story more. 

I personally wrote the story from Ceres' perspective on the whole situation in the original story. That includes everything that happened while she was trapped below the ground and Ceres' journey to discover where her daughter was (and how she reacted). I think I ended up changing the ending of the original story a little, but you can certainly make the decision to do or not do that. It's completely your call. 

That's the great thing about this assessment. You can alter the story and rewrite it into something that you want it to be. Just make sure to read over your instructions very well before starting to write in case I'm conveying false information about the instructions. Remember that this is also your first draft; your teacher will tell you what you need to fix and you can either resubmit the assignment for a better grade if you don't get a good grade on this draft or you can make sure you fix whatever your teacher might recommend in your final draft. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)
