Question

Writing with Dialogue

Answer 1

Sample Response:

"Okay, Jayden. I'm ready whenever you are," Patrick said. I stood in front of my brother in our shared bedroom, with the draft of my speech in my hand. I nervously rustled the paper between my fingertips. "Hey, bro, I don't have all day!" he added impatiently. "All right. Here goes nothing," I replied, and after a long pause, I read him my speech. "Here's the thing, Jayden," Patrick began, "If you don't believe in yourself, who will? Read with more confidence, and you'll sound more believable."

Answer 2

" You are trying too hard," he said. " I can't do it. How am I supposed to please him when he had to write 70% of my speech." I kept repeating this thought to myself until he finally spoke. " Don't think that you are trying to convince thousands of people to give money the homeless." He paused, looking for the right words. Then my brother continued. " Look I am the only one in the room, so just think of that tomorrow. I know you can do. Just believe. And hey, that girl you like, Camilia, she will be there too. Doing this will impress her and her your love of helping people. Stop being shy, be you." With that confidence speech my brother gave, and the blushing part about Camilia, I started up again, more confident this time. I was calm and my brother started clapping. We both knew people would be clapping tomorrow.
