House on Mango Street Audio book
As you preapre for your first piece of work on Dialogue and Narration, listen to at least two of the vignettes or short stories in PART ONE of A House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros.
Based on your work on dialogue, discuss what changes you would make to CHANGE some of the narration to actual dialogue, so the characters are SPEAKING DIRECTLY rather than the narrator is telling what they are thinking or doing.
Change at least four lines to show this in action. YOU MUST FIRST TELL WHICH STORY YOU ARE USING, AND SAY WHICH LINES AND PARAGRAPHS YOU ARE REFERRING TO; that is, you must cite the exact source carefully. Keep the context of what the original story is so you don't change the meaning, but make it "COME ALIVE."
YOUR WRITING MUST HAVE NO USE OF INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE!
The classmates who comment on your blog would determine to what extent you are able to successfully keep the original langauge of the story while demonstrating your effective use of dialogue in the text.
Happy blogging!
