2 Kings 17:23 "Until
the Lord removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants
the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto
this day."
Displaced characters are a
rich source of story points. Fiction, nonfiction, movies, plays, television
shows have used displaced people for drama and comedy.
For nonfiction, we might
write an essay about how we coped when we were tossed out of our familiar world
into something frightening or amusing. We might find someone to interview who
became famous, or not so famous, because of how they coped with being
displaced.
In fiction, we might show
a group of people who have been displaced and how the group as well as the
individuals cope—some well, others not so much. Or we can show one person who
has been thrown out of their element—either a protagonist or another character and
how it affects the protagonist.
