What point of view will you use in your story?

Why did you choose that point of view?

Using a specific Point of View (POV) will bring a different emotion from the story that you wouldn't see being told from another perspective. For my story, I am going to use Proserpina's POV; if this story was told from Pluto's POV, or even Ceres' POV, the entire plot would be skewed, completely different events would happen for each of these characters, obviously, and by using Proserpina's POV I am able to capture the emotion & tone I want my readers to feel when finished. I will also add some foreshadowing to the climax of my story for the reader to get a sense of urgency as Proserpina's need to escape also becomes more and more urgent.

How would you describe this character?

Proserpina is a nymphet of sorts, wandering around with sea nymphs and in to a forest, innocently picking beautiful flowers, lacing them through the lazy tendrils of hair adorning her soft face. Her skin, though naturally fair, has been darkened from her long, playful days in the sunlight. A white dress always hung from her shoulders, the straps half heartily pulled towards her collar bones, the skirt hanging loosely below her knees to get caught in twigs and covered in mud throughout her adventurous days.

Proserpina was kindhearted & as sweet as honey. Her smile could outshine the sun itself; her songs, sung so sweetly, would cause the birds to stop singing, so they could listen too. She would tread through streams barefoot, digging her toes in to the mud just to feel the fleshy earth between them. She would stroll through the lavender & wheat fields, letting her fingers ghost atop of the bountiful harvest her mother had made just for her. She would lay at the shoreline, letting the gentle tide burrow her deeper in to the sand.

She was a lover of the Earth, a lover of life.

How does this character respond to the conflict?

The character I have chosen from the short story "The Pomegranate Seeds" is Proserpina.

I plan to tell the story of Proserpina's time in the Underworld.

Proserpina, being a naive little girl, disobeying her mother's orders & wandering in to the forest, was faced with a predicament she couldn't find a way out of by herself.

After leaving the sea nymphs, Proserpina goes off to search for more beautiful flowers. Once she came across a bushel of the most beautiful blossoms she had ever seen, she was lured in. Once the ground began to quake and break open, Proserpina had no chance to flee or call out for help, for she hadn't headed her mother's warning & was now too far off to be heard.

After seeing Pluto emerge Proserpina feels comforted by the sight of a wealthy man with riches to spare. Pluto's sly words and persuasive attitude managed to lure Proserpina further in to an unknown trap.

Proserpina responded to the conflict she was presented with in a childish way, following a stranger & listening to his poisonous words, she showed no signs of defense, nor ever attempted to flee; which could all be expected from a small girl who always listened to her mother.

What pace fits your narrative Why?

How will you create that pace?

I am going to use several different paces for different parts of the story. A long exposition that has long, flowing sentences creates a calm, peaceful feeling. As my rising action comes along, I will speed the pace just a little, taking my time to explain how everything looks and feels to Proserpina because what she perceives during this part is essential for fueling her hatred towards Pluto, which ultimately brings my climax of killing/hurting Pluto around. When this happens, my pace will be quicken, showing the sense of urgency Proserpina has to leave the Underworld as fast as she can. Again, I would slow the pace as her urgency leaves her, completing her ascent and wandering through the woods. As I started, I will finish with a rather slow pace, showing her love to be back in her mother's arms, beneath the blue sky, surrounded by things she will never take for granted again.

the second part of the answer will be in the comment section. i had to split it bc it won't allow over 5000 characters
