Sif's ideas of a short story

-       Who could be the main character?

Of course, Mr. Scott could be the main character, because we already know a lot about him, based on the text.

I would find it more interesting to have Oates or Bowers. There is not to much information about these men, so you can use your imagination a bit more, that if I choose Scott.

-       What kind of narrator would you choose?

I would chose a first person narrator. I find it a bit more interesting to read stories, when you also hear their thoughts.

-       What about the composition?

I would first talk about the expedition, and after talk about his life after death. What he would have achieved when he would come home, and how he would live the rest of his life.

-       What do you need to remember for the plot, the atmosphere, and the language?

The language shall fit to the historical time (the 1910's). The atmosphere must also fit for the one that you can read in the logbook.
