PART 1: READING AND CRITICAL ANALYSIS
Instructions: Read the short story adaptation below carefully, then answer the analytical questions.
The Weaver’s Choice
In the kingdom of Obsidian, a weaver named Clara possessed the unique ability to weave memories into silk. The King demanded she weave a grand tapestry of his reign, erasing all his past military failures and showcasing only glorious victories. If she refused, her family would be exiled. If she complied, the kingdom would celebrate a false history, leading to future reckless wars. Clara spent three nights at her loom. On the fourth morning, she presented a tapestry that depicted the King’s true, flawed history—but woven with such beauty that it highlighted the lessons learned from those defeats. Angered by her defiance but mesmerized by the truth, the King faced a dilemma.

PART 2: POINT OF VIEW (POV) SHIFTING
Instructions: Rewrite the scene where Clara presents the tapestry to the King. However, instead of using the third-person perspective, write it from the King’s first-person perspective (using “I”). Reveal his internal thoughts, his hidden fear of looking weak, and his sudden awe when looking at the woven truth.
