Compose a single scene that uses rich description to convey a particular theme. Use vivid imagery, along with dialogue, reflection, or both, to highlight that theme and to set an appropriate tone.

Your assignment should include the following elements:

• Rich description that uses imagery to bring the scene to life
• A consistent tone that matches the theme you're trying to convey
• The narrative technique of dialogue, reflection, or both

Ask yourself these questions as you revise:

• Do I write from the point of view of my ambitious character?
• Does my imagery appeal to multiple senses and match the tone of the scene?
• Do I make use of dialogue or reflection to express the theme?
• Do I bring the scene to an ending point that really emphasizes the theme?
• Is my assignment a single scene and not an entire story?
