Prompt #4: Still MORE Character!

Pick one:

Take one of the two-dimensional ("flat") characters you've encountered in the book you're reading and make him/her three-dimensional ("round"). Remember that round characters tend to defy expectations in some way, so feel free to reimagine this character's underlying circumstances (backstory, motivation, etc.). You can remain in the book's established setting or you can change the setting however you see fit. For example, if you character is a child in the book, you can imagine her sixty years later as an old woman.

Use a particularly interesting line of dialogue from the book you're reading as a springboard to a new scene about some entirely new character.

Write about two characters who are discussing the book you're reading. Try to use their conversation about the book to hint at some deeper underlying tension between them. (Keep in mind that tension is not always negative.)
