Question

Write a short script (15–20 lines) that creates an imagined scene between two or three characters. The scene should show a universal theme, such as "friends help and defend each other” or "fights can last a long time.” Be sure to set the mood of your scene by using stage directions to show how characters should interact with one another.

Mark: What's his problem?

Tommy: He wanted to go to Jack's house so badly.

Mark: Oh, yeah! They are having a party there? You should come! It would be so-

Tommy: No! I have things that are more important that need to be done.

Mark: Ugh! You are always so busy!

Tommy: At least I have something to be busy about!

[Mark Exits]

Tommy: I really want to go, but all of this 'more important' stuff is just coming up!
