Question

Can you help me?
I'm doing a narrative essay, and at the bottom of the outline is:
In the top box is Dialogue which states - include a conversation between 2 characters using 4 lines of Dialogue.
Middle box is- Description which states answer the question's how? What kind? Why?
Bottom box is -Detail which states what details are relevant to the original story and should be included in the retelling.
My question is am I supposed to answer everything in the Dialogue box or in all boxes. I'm not understanding what to do.

In your outline, each box appears to serve a distinct purpose for your narrative essay. Here's a breakdown of what you should include:

1. **Dialogue Box**:
- This box specifically focuses on crafting a dialogue between two characters. You should write out a conversation that includes at least four lines. Make sure the dialogue reflects the characters' personalities and contributes to the overall narrative.
- Example:
- Character A: "Did you really think they would forgive you?"
- Character B: "I had to try! It was the only way to find peace."
- Character A: "Peace? You can’t find that with lies."
- Character B: "Then help me tell the truth."

2. **Description Box**:
- In this box, you should provide answers to the questions posed: how, what kind, and why.
- Think about how the dialogue and actions of the characters contribute to the scene and the overall theme of your essay.
- You may describe the setting, the emotions of the characters, and the significance of the conversation you just created.
- Example:
- How: The dialogue unfolds in a dimly lit coffee shop, creating an intimate yet tense atmosphere.
- What kind: The conversation is charged with emotion, revealing the characters’ deep-seated regrets and hopes.
- Why: This dialogue is crucial as it sets the stage for the characters' journey toward reconciliation.

3. **Detail Box**:
- In this box, include relevant details from the original story that should be included in your retelling.
- Think about the key elements that support the dialogue and description, such as character backgrounds, significant previous events, and themes you want to emphasize.
- Example:
- Include details about the characters' history, the event that led to their confrontation, and any relevant emotional or physical settings that enhance the story.

In summary, you will need to provide content for each box, but they each have a specific focus: write the dialogue in the first box, describe the elements related to that dialogue in the middle box, and list relevant details in the bottom box. This approach will help you create a well-rounded narrative essay.
