Character Voices

Choose two characters from the following list and develop their voices:  a fitness fanatic; a disillusioned nurse; a bored, gifted student; a jovial social climber; a music-loving dentist; a coochie-coochie pet lover; a stern old man.  Make the voices different in rhythm, sentence-length, vocabulary and degrees of eloquence.  Write two monologues of up to 300 words each.

Asymmetrical people

People's faces are rarely symmetrical.  Look at the people's faces around you and notice the minute differences in each side - see each face as two sides and each side having a character - what different characters might be in that person's face - artful dodger/serious student; romantic poet/traffic warden; wise child/partygoer.  Write 250 words of this person's thoughts, trying to let both sides of their personality come through.

Baubles of beauty

Write a detailed description of a Christmas bauble, with a focus on what the bauble is reflecting of the room it sits in.
