The second writing assignemt from the book The Fiction Class by Susan Breem is:

Think of a person from history who intrigues you. Napoleon? Cleopatra? Martin Luther King?

Write a tw0- to three-page description of that person eating a meal. What would s/he eat? How would s/he eat. What would s/he be thinking about as s/he ate? Would someone be sharing the meal with him or her? What would they talk about?

Remember: Bring your character to life.
