1. Showing vs. Telling

2. Showing or Telling? When I got up the courage to confront my roommate about using my things without my permission, I could tell that she was really hurt at first. Then she became angry and slammed out of the room. I am not sure things will ever be the same between us.

3. Showing or Telling? I took a deep breath. “Isobel, if you are going to borrow my things, please ask first. The shirt I wanted to wear today is dirty because you wore it and didn’t even bother to mention it to me.” Her face fell. “I thought we were friends. You can borrow anything of mine, anytime, no questions asked.” “But I don’t,” I said. “I try to be considerate, and I want the same from you.” She snatched up her car keys and headed for the door. “Fine!” she yelled. “If that’s the way you feel, I’ll never ask you for anything.” As the door slammed behind her, I wondered if things would ever be the same between us.
