As a reporter for the Literary Press, you are to interview a literary character from a book or short story you have read.
First, decide who you will interview. Aside from his/her basic background information, there are three important questions you want to ask this character:
1. Why were you chosen for this role in the story?
2. What other character was considered for your part?
3. Why wasn't the other individual chosen?
Let your character answer these questions in his/her own words. Example: "Actually, i wasn't George Orwell's first choice for the role of Boxer, the horse, in Animal Farm. No, he had some crazy idea that Count Fleet would be better, but what kind of name is that for a horse who works on a farm? Besides, when Orwell was writing the story in 1945, Fleet was busy winning the Triple Crown- three of the biggest races in America- so he wasn't even available for the part. That's why he settled on me."
Now it's your turn.
