The task
Stories matter. Many stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign, but stories can also be used to empower and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people, butstories can also repair that broken dignity. – Chimimanda Ngozi Adiche
In 500 words, please bring to life an element of the natural world through the power of language and storytelling. We ask you to flex your creative muscles and make an unrelatable subject matter feel relatable. This might be a banana, or it could be the rainforest. The tone should be realistic but not factual. There will be wry humour but not farce. We should feel connected and invested in the character you bring to life. `
