This means that there is no central narrator with a single point of view, but rather a group of narrators whose personal observations combine to form an overall impression of what s happening. This type of literary genre is known as the epistolary novel epistolary meaning to be contained in or carried on by letters. Create a short "epistolary conversation" of your. You can create your own 500-word plot scenario. But, here are few basic criteria for your epistolary story: 1. At least three characters; 2. Each character should speak (or communicate) at least twice; 3. The characters should use at least three different forms of communication (which could include more modern forms such as texting, posting on a Facebook wall, Twitter, and so on).

11 Page11 Here is just one possible scenario you could use: It is 9:10 AM on an average Wednesday, and you ve just arrived in your biology class. You re excited because today is the day you and your classmates will be dissecting a fetal pig. However, you ve also noticed that one of your classmates (you supply the name), a recent transfer to your school, has been acting strangely in the week leading up to the dissection. You are also a bit worried because one of your best friends has been coming to class late for the last couple of days, looks a bit pale, and seems to be ignoring your texts. And are you just imagining things, or does your biology teacher, Mr. Van Helsing, look more anxious than normal? What is that yellowed and fraying piece of paper poking out of his briefcase? Over the next couple of days, some strange things things that make the fetal pig dissection seem downright trivial start happening. What are they?
