Life of a Paper Swan

Assume the role of one of Andersen’s paper swans from ‘The Brave Tin Soldier’. Narrate one day in its life.

Hans Christian Andersen often lends voices to inanimate objects. This prompt invites you to explore the concept of anthropomorphism, delve into the interiority of an object, and its observations about the world around it. Capture the essence of the paper swan’s thoughts, interactions, or consider tackling themes of sacrifice, loyalty, or unrequited love.
