Microagressions Creative Writing

In the same Dropbox Paper that you began your Microagressions response, the one titled XMEN-Lastname-Firstname-Weekly, continue to write for this new assignment by creating a new space below, as shown in the demo Paper.

Creative Writing: Imagine that you're one of these Mutants.
  1. Bishop
  2. Cable 
  3. Colossus
  4. Cyclops 
  5. Deadpool
  6. Domino
  7. Emma Frost
  8. Jean Grey
  9. Kitty Pryde
  10. Magneto
  11. Mystique
  12. Nightcrawler
  13. Professor X 
  14. Rogue
  15. Storm 
  16. Wolverine, Logan, Weapon X
  17. Wolverine, X-23
For this weekly response, choose a character that you know because you've read comics about them, seen movies, and/or watched cartoons starring them. How would they respond to a Microagression? Consider what somebody else would say to them, or physically do when near them, or from far away.

What would this person, this person, this Mutant say? What would they do? Physically, would Wolverine say nothing, but just SNIKT his claws, or SNIKT one claw? Maybe he'd grunt really loudly too, or spit out his cigar? Nightcrawler, who's often a peaceful person, might not say or do anything but instead, pray for that person, saying a Hail Mary in his head all to himself, and asking for God to forgive them?

Those are just some possibilities. Consider others, all the while, adopting the voice and persona of that character you've chosen.

Write three different responses, one for each of these time periods.
  1. 1960s-1970s
  2. 1980s-1990s
  3. 2010s-Present Day
If you want to be specific, you may choose a single year from the span given, such as 1975 for 1960s-1970s. Choosing a single year could be helpful, especially if you align that year with a particular comic book, movie, or other place and space where your chosen Mutant has been.

Consider how your own experiences with microagressions could inform this writing, and the persona you take on, being one of these Mutants, and writing from their perspective.

Write Approx. 70-100 words per time period.
Accurate voice, representing the character.
Relevant to the chosen time period.
