My group took a well know non-narrative and generated from it four narratives.  We played off the fairy tale of “The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf.”  While incorporating many of the bigger themes in the course, we constructed personalities and perspectives for each of the characters.  For example, I played the misunderstood wolf.  In our story the wolf had allergies and accidentally sneezed down the houses.  The wolf wanted to “only connect” with his new neighbors in the forest, so he visited the pigs’ homes bearing sugar cookies.  The pigs, of course, took the traditional approach of thinking that the wolf wanted to eat them, but each had a very unique angle for why they built the type of house they had (straw, sticks and brick).  In the end I, the wolf, was arrested by the pig police, but was fortunate enough to express my concern for the misunderstanding in an interview by an E! television series.
