- Marilyn Singer, “The Magic Bow” A short story is, in some ways, like a photograph – a captured moment of time…But while a photo may or may not suggest consequences, a short story always does. In the story's moment of time something important, something irrevocable has occurred. - Marilyn Singer, “The Magic Bow”

If the novel [is] a feature film, the short story [is] a snapshot…The short story, to me, is a blurred snapshot by an incompetent chronicler…The snapshot catches a moment in time, but the blur proposes an extension beyond the margins. - Gregory Maguire, “Chatterbox”

Free Write: Visualization and Narrative In a moment, you will see a series of photographs. Your job is to create a narrative based on one of the photographs. You may write from the perspective of an omniscient narrator, describing the scene and the story. You may write from the perspective from one of the characters, considering only their personal thoughts and feelings.

If these characters are having a dialogue, what are they saying?

What are the characters thinking?

Where was the snapshot taken?

How do these characters know one another?

What happened just before this snapshot was taken?

Think Pair Share Think Pair Share Consider why you created your narrative the way you did. Pair Get into groups based on which photograph you created a narrative for. Share Share your narratives with the group. Are there similarities/differences? How can two people create two starkly different stories for the same narrative?
