The film D.O.A. has been made twice, maybe because of its compelling storyline. A man discovers that he has been poisoned and has a certain number of hours to live. He decides to track down those responsible for his demise to get revenge and find out why.

This assignment can be written in one of a few possible ways:

1. You have been given 24 hours to live and you must decide how you will spend your last day.
2. You have been given nearly unlimited resources (money) for 24 hours and only 24 hours, so use those resources how you see fit.
3. You have been given some sort of special power for 24 hours. How will you use it?
4. You are being sent on an important space mission in 24 hours and will never return to earth.
5. You alone know of some horrible event that will happen in 24 hours, and you need to decide how to handle it.
6. You can be a star for one day. Who would you meet, and how would you act?

You may be able to combine a couple of these ideas, but you must write an assignment that takes place in one day. Maybe you’ll take a relaxing one-day vacation or visit your family. Maybe you’ll save the world or save yourself. Maybe you’ll just sit on the couch and play video games.
