Story #5: 1-4 page magical transformation story

Story #5: 1-4 page magical transformation story. Read Barry Yourgrau’s “By the Creek”in handout. Yourgrau’s story takes the idea that boys turn into their fathers and literalizes it, so that a boy actually begins wearing his father’s head in the story. This is a variation on the literalizing metaphor exercise you did for Story #1. In your new story, think of one thing turning into another, like Kafka’s Gregor Samza waking up as a cockroach, then write your own metamorphosis.
