Assignment for the week!!


FInd examples (at least two) of men writing as women, and women writing as men. Many critics have pointed out that Jane Austen rarely presented a male character with a private internal monologue, or in a scene that wasn't told from the point of view of a female observer, due to her extremely limited social circumstances, and a desire to retain a sense of authenticity in her writing. 
What are the benefits and limitations of this approach?


First author: J.K. Rowling








Second Author: C.S. Lewis


I don't think there's a problem with a men/women having a principal character (in the case of C.S. two of the four kids of Narnia "the lion, the witch and the wardrobe"), though of course a men knows how a men thinks and in that way there might be some aspects of a book or novel in which it doesn't seems real that a men is thinking that, something that a good writer can easily avoid.
