The Princess’s Perspective

Write a story from the viewpoint of a princess waiting for her prince to rescue her. What does she do while she waits?

Fairy-tale princesses aren’t always damsels in distress. They can use their intelligence, courage, and independence to change their circumstances. This writing prompt sets off a series of thought-provoking questions: What is there to do in a tower? Is there a way she can escape? What about creating a hobby or learning a skill while waiting? By shifting focus to the princess’s perspective, this theme encourages learners to think about how they would act in her shoes.
