Do you know what dialog is? If you don't dialog is like a conversation between a number of people. You know, when you talk to someone else, you're using dialog. Dialog is often used in literature. Whenever you use dialog, you need to use quotations around what the person is saying and act as if the dialog is a paragraph. Keep it separated from the rest of the story. In example:
After walking down the street for a while, I noticed my friend Tammy standing in front of the clothing store. I walked in her direction while waving my hand.

3. patroon --> a landowner who had certain privileges under the former Dutch government of New York

A proprietary colony was a type of settlement common between the years 1660 and 1690. They were large tracts of land given to favorites of the British crown. In other words, they were colonies owned by a private person, who was supposed to supervise and develop them.
A chattel is any item of tangible movable or immovable property that is not a building or a land.
A patroon was a certain type of landowner that had manorial privileges granted by the old Dutch governments of New York and New Jersey.
Although Cory is rich and of an elite class, he kills himself because he is unhappy.
The poem begins describing Richard Cory as a rich gentleman. The speaker of the poem is one of the townspeople and he says, "we thought that he was everything to make us wish that we were in his place." This envy from the townspeople does not cost him his life. But it surprises the townspeople because they thought they wanted to be him, however, they do not want to be dead like Cory is at the end of the poem. It is ironic because his unhappiness is unexpected since he came across as though he was happy because of his money.
