Dialogue and Non Verbal Body Language

" I feel he doesn't like me anymore" stated Alice.
"Aww why?" with a confused look said Dorthy.
"He doesn't treat me the same"
"Do you know why?, There must be a reason" asked Dorthy
" I think I have been getting into to much trouble" said Alice with her eyes so small and sad.
Dorthy gave off a annoyed expression on her face. 
"Maybe you have to change a bit?" stated Dorthy.
Alice said while changing the tone in her voice. " I already do that and it's annoying! "
Alice and Dorthy's bodies were already very close together, Dorthy reached in for a hug in hope Alice would feel better.
"Let's go for a walk" Alice said with a little smile forming on her face.

Log Book Nov. 6th - 21st


Thinking of Dialogue



1.Talk about the process of eavesdropping:

i. We walked all around the hallways following different groups of people. Stayed inside the school.

ii.Not very long because it was hard to understand the conversations and people walked fast

iii. Two girls-most likely friends 

iv.we felt very out of place while eavesdropping on these girls 

2. What insight did you gain about the way people think?
-Some people talked very quietly or stopped talking when we approached them and some people talked very loud and didn't even notice

3. How can you apply this to your writing?
-We could make our characters have conversations about everyday things like what we heard.

4. How is personality and character revealed through conversation and dialogue?
-by the tone they use
-by the volume of their voice 
-by their language 

5. What happens when more than 2 people participate in a conversation?
-It gets harder to keep up with and there are more opinions. 

6. What was the most surprising thing you've learned about the way people converse?
-we were surprised at how loud people were talking and how they didn't seem to care about the surroundings 

7. What's the differences and similarities between written and spoken conversation?
-In written conversation you can't tell the tone of voice so you don't really know how they feel about what they're saying unlike in spoken conversation. 
-I'm spoken conversations you can easily change the subject and can get distracted.
-Both conversations in spoken and written form can be about very random topics 
Erin, Shelby, Alaya


Thinking about Dialogue

-hey how's it going , good you?
-they are they are , can I have my phone? -like my hair down? I'm a girl ok it's suppose to, oh no really? *pepsi can opens * 
-but its cold, let's not talk about it
-I've never seen this before , it sucks , you've seen the lines? your saying its over . you rattled ? 
-oh yeah yeah yeah no way ! it was scary he's like listening and he lets me take his . it's good but he doesn't like when I bump him and don't go on the ground , but it's better that way I have a full hour and ten minutes to socialize and then we come back an half half an hour then have time to do whatever that's all we need , croutons and soup 
-I was really nervous and drank half of it
how many were the skates ?! 200 something holy! wtf

Imagery Paragraph - the perks of being a wallflower


Quick Write Rewind or Pause?

If I had to choose between a rewind or pause button I would choose the rewind button because I would definitely love to replay moments in my life whether them being exciting times or even the worst of times. I would re live all my favorite moments so I could experience them again. I would depending on the situation replay the moments I have regretted so I could fix them. Some of my worse moments wouldn't interest me to replay and fix because I wouldn't want to re live them, there over and done with. I think I would lear from my mistakes the first time and be able to fix it or try something new.
