Friday’s Task – 365 Dialogue Task Using third person omniscient, create dialogue that takes place before the story begins. The dialogue will be between Mr. and Mrs. Wynnes. Remember, this is a time period when people spoke in a more formal tone. Given their station in life, we can assume they are affluent and well educated. You should concentrate on using words that will help create character traits for Mr. and Mrs. Wynnes. Make sure to build on Mrs. Wynne’s traits that we already know she possesses. Use your dialogue notes to determine dialogue rules. If you need additional help, you may also look in a book you are reading to view examples of dialogue.
