Importance Of Dialogue In Canyons And The Treasure Of Lemon Brown

Courage is expressed by characterisation, dialogue and plot. Showing or explaining the different personality traits of each character highlights the acts of courage through characterisation. Characterisation is the main technique that can be compared and contrasted between To Kill a Mockingbird and The Help. Although every character is different, some of their beliefs, opinions and actions are similar, which assists in creating a greater understanding of courageous, or cowardly approaches shown in each character.

In The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer, the author uses the dialogue throughout the story to tell how the characters feel about who they're with, their surroundings, and how they respect the other characters. In this book, those are quite important.

The reader could assume how they were feeling, or what they were thinking regarding an event that just occurred, but never hear the voices of the characters themselves. One could say that dialogues can make you see the different viewpoints of the different characters, however, I would disagree because one would not hear the character’s inner thoughts. As a result, one would have to guess about what the characters were thinking. For example, with Maureen’s character we would not see much of it, if it was in other books, unless she was the main character and the writer would only focus on her. Maureen is shy and she does not converse that much with others.

Dialogue in a story can really make you fully understand the characters and everything else about the story differently in a better way. The story “The Treasure of Lemon Brown” by Walter Dean Myers and the book Canyons by Gary Paulsen use dialogue in their stories. Walter Dean Myers uses dialogue in his story to make you understand the characters a little bit more and Gary Paulsen uses dialogue to make you understand the tone of the story a little bit better.

This connects the reader to the story. This connects to the reader and helps the reader relate to the fight between the couple. The author uses dialogue because it helps the reader establish the tension and fury between the two characters. The text states “ What would you like to do? Get the button back and push it? Murder someone “(108). This textual evidence illustrates how the dialogue was worded helped the reader establish how the characters were feeling at this moment. The text states “ Why are you getting so upset? It's only talk.”(108) This evidence portrays the frustration between the characters and how this creates a divide between the characters. In conclusion, the dialogue helps the reader establish the tone and helps the reader understand the story better.

Characterization allows for you to get a grip on each and every character in a story. If a character wasn’t described, you wouldn’t know what kind of person or choices they’d make. Details on each character help separate and show differences. The characters in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest are very different in personalities and problems. Kesey describes Chief Bromden, the

Altman also uses dialogue in a similar manor. The nature of dialogue itself is solely for creating and upholding the self image of the “Nashville Star” weather you are one or not. The conversations never get passed the surface issues, and no one ever speaks their mind unless it’s safe. But, the reality of each character is very real and deep due to the way the dialogue was set up. Most of the people were frivolous so in order to add some depth and reveal their true character Altman had to make the dialogue as realistic as possible. The dialogue seemed almost unrehearsed or not planned at all which gives it its reality. The most odious example of this is when the Hal Walker representative is arguing about the political sign with Barbra Gene’s husband at Centennial Park. He slips on his line in the heat of the argument. I don’t know if this was intentional or not, but I think they chose to keep it in the movie because it seemed to be more true to reality than just a smooth flowing argument that would normally be in a movie. The little slip gave way, for the first time, a vulnerable side to the Hal Walker rep or even politics for that matter.

Have you ever thought about the aspects and emotions of a character in a book? Both Charles Dickens and Jame Joyce have incorporate dialogue into their passages which reveals the aspects of each of the characters. To start with each passage shows how the character is feeling during dialogue and the aspects of the character and how they behave. Also it shows how both characters in different stories behave such as how Oliver Twist acts when he asked for more soup or when they asked Stephen a question and he didn't know what to answer. Also in the dialogue it says a lot about both of the characters show that dialogue shows the behavior of the characters in the stories. It also shows that the emotions and characteristics of the characters in the two stories.

I feel if there was no dialogue between characters, the story would be bland and

Definition: The distinct way a person talks depending on where the person is from or the setting of the story. It might be a choice phrase or style of speaking.

For example, the speaker describes the character being disagreeable by saying “Why are you wearing a mask?... I've got a cold. You don't need a mask for that.” (Natalie 60) And the author also states that she later is cooperative buying saying ¨More line!¨ In an instant he felt the Slack as Skye let out more reel. He was grateful for her quick response.(Natalie 216)

For example, Hazel told the boys she wanted to play baseball with them but the boys told her no “I pulled the glove off my hand and stomped back inside, shivering less at the late afternoon chill than at the nerve of them,”(Behrens 28). This example of personality traits shows Hazel stomping inside after getting mad at the boys for not letting her play. This shows she has a bit of a temper. This line of dialogue helps to create the theme because the boys don’t think girls can play baseball as good as boys can, which shows that when people are mean to Hazel she becomes defensive and angry. In conclusion, personality traits helps create the

Dialogue is the way that the author is able to tell the story using different characters. Mildred Taylor. “Stacy,’ said Little Man excitedly, ‘Whaddaya think they gonna do us? Burn us?” (Taylor 53). The children just heard the dangers of what might happen to them, if they were, found guilty, for destroying the bus. The readers lean that even children’s lives, are in danger, to keep an unfair peace. This concludes, the mood for the story “Its… it’s them again. They’s ridin’ tonight” (Taylor 60). Mr. Avery said this, after he received information, that the KKK is riding. He recommends that they all stay close, and be prepared for anything. This shows that the blacks live in a constant fear of being attacked and separated from their families. The mood is that life is to valuable to risk, therefore you need to always be away of
