The famous philosopher Plato once said, “You can discover more about a person with an hour of play than in a year of conversation.” But dialogue and figurative language can help the reader understand people, and their surroundings. An hour of play can’t tell their deepest secrets and their emotions to bring your fate's together.

In the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Guy Montag, a fireman, encounters an odd girl named Clarisse, she seems to have wisdom far beyond her years, and almost anyone else Guy has

Language such as this helps the reader connect emotionally with the story. There is very little dialogue in the story. Granny’s dialogue creates impression that she is encouraging, loving, understanding and brave – although this is never said in the story. The text uses music in language to make the story more engaging to the reader.

The voice that tells the story is the author, Laura Hillenband, she is a narrator speaking in 3rd person omniscient. The audience gets to hear, and understand every character’s thoughts and see their actions. There is only one speaker/narrator throughout the story. The speaker is not clearly identified as a person or character in the story, but rather as a narrator that sees and knows all. There are many facts/statistics added throughout the story which shows that the speaker is well educated on the topic. Their emotional state is stable, but the range of their emotions allows the audience to get a full spectrum of what everyone is feeling. The speaker’s background does not shape her point of view, instead she acts like an overseer simply telling

In addition the dialogue is repeated several times. Remember, dialogue should reveal information about the character and it should move the story forward. Repeating information hinders the pace. For example, Alex says that Amanda won’t go to the police because she’s too scared. He repeats this several times.

Dialogue is an important tool in literature. In the case of “Barn Burning” the last interaction between Sarty’s mother and aunt, give the reader insight into the deep rooted control that Abner has over his family.

In addition to meeting the developmental needs, the premise of the novel Speak is based on Melinda who is outcast, none of her old friends will speak to her and other kids in school contribute to the castaway feelings the main character exhibits by talking about her behind her back. This banishment stemmed from her calling the police to report a crime during a summer party that caused many people to get in trouble, instead of the intended purpose of the call, which was to report an

The dialogue features strengths and weaknesses. Avoid dialogue that sounds un-natural and on the nose. For example, “It seems Ronard had a slave called Trish and Ember and Sid have to rescue her.” Later, “Badir and Ronard raped me many times. They drugged me and raped me.” Then Sami repeats (avoid repeating the same information), “Badir and Ronard were evil. They raped, pillaged, enslaved.”

In addition, this is alleviated by being in the same universe as the novel. Admittedly, we believed that this would promote the issues of clones further, as in the novel, not once did the clones showed signs of resistance to humans. However, in our adaptation, we are demonstrating a situation when clones finally stood up to criticize the original ideal of clones being donor’s giver. Likewise, these ideals ties in with our SF generic conventions of birth. Those who try to pursue birth in an unusual invention that has distorted the nature will be punished. Humans who try to pursue unnatural attempts to create a life that shares a similar resemblance to humans, but put them through torture and death instead. Therefore, we believe that our medium is both effective and affective since it demonstrates one of the first time that clones are unafraid to stand up for what is right. Since our target audience is humans, this is an appropriate method to educate students of newer generation about the situation that is happening to clone’s society. In the same way, we are communicating to humans directly which we believe is one of the influential tools of levitating a voice. Within this experience, humans are encouraged to feel strange and unpleasant, but this is essential to our goal. So, our audience realizes that these issues exist and there is

The impact on having the narrator explain what both characters are thinking gives the reader a better understanding and clarifies why they react the way they do or say the things they say. The reader gets a better feel on why things play out as they do and how it expresses what happens. For example, if readers didn’t know what Madame Liosel was thinking or thought about certain things and her husband was telling the story we would only know half of this story. If only Madame Liosel was telling the story, she couldn’t have read his mind and so we wouldn't know why he would say this or that or why he made the choices he did. Conversely, with the narrator being able to tell readers what characters are thinking it creates a bigger impact by providing
