 * The king and queen of Morrowton have fallen in love with the novel "Ethan Frome" by Edith Wharton. After reading the story, they had a feast and reflected on all of the characters and settings within. The conversation progressed, and soon the royal couple were set on the idea of creating a comic of each and every character from the story to publish through their comic company, Royal Multimedia Co. In fact, the king was so excited that he declared that he would hire the best graphic novelist he could find to adapt characters from "Ethan Frome" to comic form. To do just that, the king has sent out invitations to graphic novelists from all over the world, asking them to compete in a contest. You have received an invitation! The contest requires you to demonstrate that you thoroughly understand the importance of character and setting relationships in stories. You will devise a series of questions to interview a character from "Ethan Frome" with, and record the conversation. From the information you gather, you will create a short graphic novel, using Comic Life, that represents the interviewee's character and their environmental setting. Thankfully, the king welcomes creativity, and as so encourages participants to think outside of the normal realm! He has stated that he would be particularly interested in comics that blended information from "Ethan Frome" with imaginative and appropriate settings/contexts. Now is your chance to show that you have got what it takes to be an accomplished graphic novelist! ||
