Imitation Piece

Here are the instructions from your original ISU handout information as well as some clarification and expansion.

Imitation Piece. Now that you have some experience and expertise with your particular writer, prepare a two page “lost artifact.” This may be couple of missing pages from a novel, some recently discovered poetry or a letter to a loved one. Use a cover sheet, which is outlined below.

The goal here is for you to produce two manuscript pages (or the equivalent) that could have been written by your author and included in your primary novel. Ideally, if your work is put side by side with a couple of pages from your novel I won't be able to tell which is which.

Your Cover Sheet should include the following information:

The Asignment Title "Imitation of (your author)'s (title of novel)"
Your Name:
EWC 4C or 4U
The Date

Description: Explain what you have attempted to create and how it fits into the larger scheme of your novel. Explain what elements of your writer's style you have attempted to capture.

Attachment: Attach a page photocopied from your novel in order to demonstrate your writer's style. (I can help with this)
