This assignment is based on SWANN’S WAY — Remembrance Of Things Past, Volume One by Marcel Proust — “overture” secion— specifically using Proust’s experience of “involuntary memory.” I will attach link the link to the reading below — you do not need to read the whole thing but please skim so you get an idea of his use of involuntary memory and how he writes his words.
For this assignment, you must answer a creative prompt with exceptional VIVID writing (600-650 words min) YOU DO NOT NEED TO CITE from the story! it should be all your original words.
Here are the directions;
Using Proust’s experience of “involuntary memory” while eating the madeleine cookie and drinking tea, write about a memory brought on by one of the five senses (touch, taste, smell, sight, hearing). You could use a real event from your life, or make up a memory provoked by sensory experience.
An example: shuffling through Spotify, a song comes on that I used to listen to every morning when I was getting ready for school. All of sudden I’m transported back to my teenage room, the smell of coffee from the kitchen, freshly washed hair, maybe the perfume I wore back then…I can see the whole “scene” again and I’m back in my family’s home with the fears and joys I had at that age, with its creaky floorboards and clanging pipes. It’s winter and I need to catch the bus by eight. Any minute my mom will yell through the door, like she does each morning, that I’m going to be late…
Your writing should look like the one above, but better!
You can rely on one sense, or mix them, as I have above. The idea is to engage with his concept of the senses provoking an all-of-a-sudden flashback to another time in your life when you were a different person. You can also mimic Proust’s long, dreamy sentences, his blurring of time, and any other “modernist” traits you’d like to explore.
Creative responses will offer the opportunity to model the stylistic choices of the authors we study and respond to their works as fellow writers. For this assignment I expect you to respond to the prompt to the best of your abilities and apply creative and critical thinking to develop a short creative piece of 600 words.

just focus on the “overture” section and his idea of ‘INVOLUNTARY MEMORY” — CREATE a memory using this idea and the 5 senses — either use whatever sense you want, a few, or mix them — just make it compelling.
