Can I get some help/tips? I'm not asking for an essay; however, I need some directions like what should I include? What historical figure should I pick? How do I make the plot? How should this historical personality contribute to the story?

These are the instructions for the assignment:

In this task, you’ll write a historical fiction short story (between 600 and 800 words). Choose any historical personality, but don’t pick the same person that you may have used in any previous lessons. Because this character will be such an integral part of your story, make sure it is someone who interests you. Think of someone that you have recently learned about in class, or consider someone whose background and history intrigues you.

Answer:

I'm gonna try. Hope it helps.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you should choose the historical figure by yourself, but I'll try to help guide you on the rest.

You should include firstly who you chose the figure. What about the person captured your attention and why do you like them. Did they accomplish something that you admire? The personality contributes to the story however you want it to. If you want the personality as a main character of your own version of the story, you could do that. Fiction is about making the story the way you want it to go. You can play on the freedom there. The plot can be focused on achieving a goal or learning about life, or even finding a lost one. Sorry that last part sounded unhelpful. But really you can make it whatever you want. Feel free to comment on what you don't understand, hope it helped even a little.
