Collective Narrative

These are the assignment instructions: 1,500 words (formatting should adhere to genre conventions)
Considering the examples from Takijii Kobayashi, Susan Sontag, and Frederick Douglass (in linked files) that we have read in class, choose a narrative that you have written that you think could be productively revised into a collective protagonist form. There are many ways to imagine this “collective.” It could be, as in the case of Takijii and Douglass, a labor condition. It could also be, as in the case of Sontag, a community that is formed by a historical event (i.e., environmental or epidemiological).
Achieving success with this assignment requires much more than simply changing the pronouns in the story from “I/he/she” to “we/they.” It requires thinking about how the narrative will unfold, how scenes will develop, how character will be established, in a collective rather than individual mode. Use the pieces attached at the bottom for writing style inspiration but not their plots

Here is the topic of the paper you will be writing with all details.
