WR 12: Imitating the Marilyn Monroe poem

Using the poem we wrote in class today and the Sharon Old's model, create a situation where someone discovers or has to deal with the body of a famous person. It could be someone from the arts, history, politics, or fiction. The character who finds the body could be a friend, neighbour, lover, ambulance pen, tow tuck driver, you, mortician, etc. Allow your description of the scene to show what is happening more than tell. Think of the poem we read in class today, too,"Power". After the story ends, there is always more to say.

Bring a draft to read to the class. Good luck.
