How would I develop a comic strip on "The Frog and the Nightingale" by Vikram Seth.

I think that this would turn out to be an interesting
task.  I would develop the comic strip in a frame format.  This would allow you to be
able to show the incremental nature that is such a strong part of the poem.  A frame
approach would be able to show how the frog manipulates the nightingale into ruining her
voice, and how the frog benefits from this.  It would also allow you the chance to
inject your own opinions about how who is more at fault in the poem.  Is the frog to
blame because he is able to exercise his influence over the nightingale or is the
nightingale to blame as she allows the frog to hold such sway over her?  I think that
both could be shown quite nicely in a frame by frame analysis of the poem.  Your opening
frame could consist of the frog sitting by himself in the bog, croaking out his sounds
to the relative dismay of the others around him.  At same time, the frame approach
allows you to develop captions for each drawing, letting the reader appreciate what is
happening while enabling you the chance to inject your own perspective on the events
transpiring.  Adding your narrative voice to the events of the poem unfolding through a
frame approach will allow the comic strip form to capture the essence of the
poem.
