1. Choose two "other worlds":

2. Explore the impacts on characters:
- Identify the main characters who interact with or experience these "other worlds." Consider both the protagonist(s) and antagonist(s).
- Analyze how each "other world" affects the characters on an emotional, psychological, or physical level.
- Look for changes in the characters' behavior, beliefs, motivations, or relationships as a consequence of their interactions with these "other worlds."
- Consider how these impacts might differ between the two "other worlds" you have chosen.
3. Compare and contrast the impacts:
- Identify the similarities and differences in how the characters are impacted by each "other world."
- Consider the positive and negative effects on the characters' lives, goals, or personal growth.
- Focus on how the "other worlds" shape the characters' worldview, self-perception, or understanding of reality.
- Evaluate whether one "other world" has a more profound or transformative impact on the characters compared to the other.
4. Structure your essay:
- Begin with an introduction that presents the two "other worlds" and briefly introduces the characters involved.
- Organize the body paragraphs around specific impacts on characters, each dedicated to one "other world" at a time.
