Dialogue That Reveals Character — Homework
Focus on the mechanics this week -- check every quotation mark against the two rules from class.
- 1.Punctuate correctly: [Wait she said Im not ready]
- 2.Rewrite this weak line without the adverb, using word choice instead: "'I don't care,' he said sarcastically."
- 3.Write a four-line dialogue exchange where one speaker is nervous and the other is confident, using correct paragraphing and no adverbs or stated emotions.
- 4.Explain in one or two sentences why adverb-loaded dialogue tags often read as less professional.
- 5.Should the comma go inside or outside the closing quotation mark in American usage: "I know" she said?
