Lisbeth: individually

Write down some initial ideas for a short story based on the real life account you have just been working with.

-          Who could be the main character?

An obvious main character would be Scott, because the whole story/diary is written from he´s point of view and we know some of he’s feelings.

-          What kind of narrator would you choose?

If Scott is the main character it would be natural to make him the narrator, as an first person narrator.

But another possibility is to write a story from all (or some) of the men from the expedition’s point of view. In this case I can make the persons and the story as I want.

In contrast to these two options a third person narrator, who knows everything could also be a good narrator. 

-          What about the composition?

I think I will write in past tense. Like looking back at the expedition.

-          What do you need to remember for the plot, the atmosphere, the language?

The language must be easy written, the atmosphere must be gloomy because of the saturation and the plot must be simple but with a lot of details.
