Intervening in "Neighbours"

You have read the Tim Winton story, Neighbours. Choose a point at which to intervene in the narrative, writing in the first person as one of the neighbours of the young couple.

Consider the following before you begin:

At what point do you plan to intervene in the story?
Who are you writing as?
What is happening at this point in the story? What topic or issue do you want to articulate your character's attitude to? (This is the 'ideas' part of the 'ideas, attitudes and values' dot point.)
What attitude do you want to show your character has to the topic/idea?
What does your character value in relation to this topic?
 

Where is your character at the start of your narrative?

What is he or she doing?
What is going to happen?
Who else is there?
What dialogue will there be?
