The Art of Dialogue Short Story: Due Wednesday April 8th

Outline a fictional scene that includes two characters, a setting, and a conflict. You may choose to use any examples from the graphic organizer or come up with new a setting, new characters, and a new conflict.

Give a brief summary of what is happening and make sure the conflict is clearly stated.

Then rewrite the scene using mainly dialogue. Use the dialogue between the two characters to create emotion, mood, and conflict. Do not explicitly reveal what the conflict is. Use a narrator to describe the setting and the actions of the characters but nothing else.

Your Story should be AT LEAST 2 pages in length.
Please use quotation marks.

Remember, using slang and vernacular makes dialogue sound real and can add to the conflict, mood, and emotion of the story.

Use “Hills Like White Elephants” as your reference.
