When you write this narrative, you will use a first-person point of view, using the voice of
Esteban, the drowned man in the story. Before you begin writing, your character must be
well-developed. This means that you should know many details about Esteban, such as
his real name, personality, interests, and important life events. Use your imagination to fill
out the chart below and create the real Esteban.

Now, think about what happened to Esteban. How did he drown? What important events
led up to his death? Fill out this chart as you brainstorm ideas. Use this information to
determine the main events of your narrative.
