OK, so I've finished my short story.
Before I post it, this is the assignment I'm responding to with my little bit of oddness:
Try to create a portrait of yourself from the point of view of several different people. They may all view you differently, some seeing one aspect of you, some another. After all, we all play many different roles in life.You may do this short assignment two ways:
You can simply write a description of yourself in the first person from the eyes of other people, as though each is describing you separately. Put down each of their names followed by a colon and then their take on you written in the first person. After presenting yourself through the eyes of several people who know you, you may want to conclude with a brief section on the real me from your own perspective.
A more creative way to handle this assignment would be to imagine several people who know you meeting someplace and talking about you. Perhaps by coincidence they are all sitting at a ballgame or around a table in a restaurant when they see you walk by, and discover that they all know you, one way or another. Write out the conversation that might follow.
That being said, I did something entirely different. Hee hee. But it still gets the point across -- telling about myself by writing what other people think of me. So here's the link:
