REGRET BY KATE CHOPIN
Make a dialogue between two characters
DIALOGUE
When Mrs. Odile left
her children with her neighbor Mamzelle Aurlie, she went to the station accompanied
by Valsin
Odile: Mr. Valsin is very kind of you to
take me to the station
Valsin: is a pleasure, it is also the
least I can do considering what is going on, it has not to be easy to have your
husband away and your mother ill
Odile: yes, it is a difficult situation,
but now what worries me the most are my children, I do not know if Miss
Mamzelle Aurlie will take good care of them, do you think I take a good decision?
Valsin: Mrs. Odile you had no choice,
besides the neighboring Mamzelle Aurlie is a good woman
Odile: of course, I do not doubt it at
all, but sometimes I worry about she and I do not know if she is a good
influence for my kids
Valsin: what it is the reason for your concern?,
neighboring Mamzelle Aurlie can be a bit strange but i assured that she will take
good care of your children
Odile: your words are of great help, and
with respect to your question Mr. Valsin I care about neighboring Mamzelle
Aurlie because of its loneliness, it is alarming that at this age she do not
have a husband
Valsin: I guess Mrs. Odile that no man has
come to love Miss
Odile: I considered that impossible, at
some point in her life she must fell in love, maybe it was a forbidden love and
today she laments silently
Valsin: maybe it can be Mrs. Odile, but in
all cases that did not get her rid of his singleness
Odile: definitely, you have given me a
great idea, when i return to take care of my mother and my husband is at home I
will find a husband to Miss Mamzelle Aurlie
Valsin: I hope you have good luck neighboring
Mamzelle Aurlie is demanding
Odile: sure, she will not be this year
without a wedding ring in her hands
Valsin: If you say so Mrs. Odile
Odile and Valsin
continued talking until she reach the station, Mrs. Odile parted not without
constantly recommend visiting Miss Mamzelle Aurlie and her children to Mr.
Valsin.

THE MCWILLIAMSES AND THE BURGLARD ALARM BY MARK TWAIN
Make a poem using 10 unknown words
ENCLOSED IN A BODY
I woke up
in the harem
It is
difficult to be sit on this chair all the days of my life
People call
me cripple
Mom and
sister says that I hobbled their lives
I see faces
and I heard voices but for them I’m invisible
They can’t
listen to my voice; I can’t move my legs or my arms
I should
commit suicide but I can’t even do that
People tell
that what I say is seemingly wanton
I squirm asking for help,
am enclosed in this body
I’m
gradually fading toward the end of the world maybe that’s a better
place
People are
made of miscellaneous experiences
I can’t
write my own history, am just a tinware for the creation
Today I
have a dazzling idea that wouldn’t be heard like always
My father
doesn’t refurnished my chair since 1995
He continue
talking pleasantly with my mom and just for one second he look at my eyes
And everything
is flawless.
