    • For tonight's homework, write a dialogue between you and the friend (or sibling or significant other).

        • The dialogue should be crafted around some sort of conflict, but submerge the conflict.

            • In other words, don't have either of the "characters" in your dialogue actually state what they're in conflict about--at least until the end of the exchange.

        • Incorporate some setting details into the dialogue

        • Also incorporate 1-2 distinctive aspects of the friend's appearance (face, body, movement, clothing, way of speaking, etc.)
