Morris?

Hi everyone,
We have just finished reading W.S in class and have been directed to complete an assignment. the assignment asks the writer to "adopt" James' writing style.
I have chsen to write a series of diary entries b Morris that will endeavour to reveal his true colours, but I am having trouble writing the entries from the point of view of the character, while still adopting H.J's techniques etc.
I would really appreciate some help on how to go about this.

How about finding conversation involving Morris and writing your diary entries based on the sentiments expressed by Morris (what he means rather than what he says), while using the idioms, grammar and vocabulary actually spoken by him?

hey this is a really great idea!
If I were you I would pick 2 or 3 scenes and write 2 entries about each one. One from Cathrine's point of view and one from Morris'. This would have been my idea.
well have fun
