You Were Romeo…
Inspired by: “Love Story”

Taylor Swift is an expert at rewriting the endings of tragic fictional characters. Take a
page from her playbook and rewrite the fate of any fictional character you find
compelling. What happens instead? And how do they feel about it? Start at least three
of your sentences with the words “What if”

(here are some character options to consider if you get stuck: Anne Elliot in Persuasion,
Charlotte – from Charlotte’s Web, Lily Briscoe – from To the Lighthouse, Lily Bart-from
The House of Mirth, Jinu – from KPop Demon Hunters, Tea Cake-from Their Eyes Were
Watching God, Paddington Bear’s Aunt Lucy, Prufrock, Vardaman Bundren – from As I
Lay Dying, Holly Golightly – from Breakfast at Tiffany’s.)
