Imagine yourself in a scene from one of your favorite books. Rewrite that scene as if you were the character, with your thoughts streaming throughout the scene. Also, feel free to change any choices made by the original character; remember, this is from your point of view, so what would you do in that situation?
A scene from Catching Fire, by Suzanne Collins:
(in the end, where Katniss wakes up in the hovercraft, oblivious to the chaos throughout Panem)
I wake up, finally free from the dreadful restraints. I am still weak, but I manage to prop myself up into a sitting position on my hospital bed. Peeta. Oh no... Peeta? Where is he? I stumble along in the hovercraft looking for someone willing to give me information as to what is going on and where Peeta is. I overhear Haymitch talking to Finnick, and anger and confusion immediately courses through my veins. I burst through the doors acting as a barrier between the others and me. "What is going on?" I ask Haymitch irritably.
"Well, sweetheart. Had enough of knocking yourself out?" he says sarcastically. I glance over to Finnick, and I remember why I am here.
"Peeta?" I say weakly. Haymitch's hard glare finally weakens as he looks down at the floor.
Before he can say anything, Finnick interrupts, "The Capitol hovercraft got to him before us." All of a sudden, too many images to count flash through my head, of the terrible things that President Snow is having done to Peeta to try to extract information out of him that he doesn't even know. I can feel my throat closing up, and storm off to my bed to grieve in private.

That is a really interesting way to look at a book you have read. I really like that you got really into it and wrote what you would do.
