Rewriting Blindsight (for the Blog)

Remember that in lieu of class on Tuesday, November 22, we’ll be doing a special round of blogging. All students should post to the blog by class time on Tuesday. This replaces the regular blogging for the week.

  • Reimagine a key scene from Blindsight from the perspective of someone other than Siri (one of the other crew members on Theseus, a grunt, an alien, someone on earth, etc.). Rewrite that scene from this character’s perspective. Attempt to capture the unique voice of that character. This post to your own blog should be around 500 words.
  • Follow up the scene with one paragraph in your voice, in which discuss what you did and why, expressly comparing it to the original text you’re riffing on.
