In this task, you will write a fictional or nonfiction narrative of about 750 to 1000 words on a theme that is present in some of the selections from Victorian literature that you read in this unit. Below are a few themes involving difficult childhood circumstances and ill-fated love, both of which figured in this unit's readings. In developing your own narrative, you can choose one of these themes, create a variation on one of them, or use another theme in consultation with your teacher: a child who does not fit well into his or her social circumstances a child who is perceived as bad when he or she is actually good, or vice versa an orphan or displaced child who faces struggles similar to those of Oliver Twist, Kim, or Heathcliff two people who are attracted to one another but are prevented from uniting due to social norms or related personal conflicts
