Answer 1

Let your imagination fly, if the course is about computers, you can write a short story about a very powerful computer that could do anything you wanted. Just use your imagination. :)

Answer 2

If I understand your assignment, you need to choose a story or poem and summarize it.

One of my favorite short stories is "The Most Dangerous Game."

Or how about Poe's "Cask of Amontillado"?

One of my favorites is "The Adventure of the Copper Beeches" by Arthur Conan Doyle.
