Example of Dialogue (for reference): "You have to help me!" Sarah begged, clutching Tom’s arm. “I don’t know if this is a good idea,” Tom replied, pulling back. “You promised me,” Sarah said, her voice trembling. “I know,” Tom sighed, “but this could get us in serious trouble.” Exercise 3: Writing Dialogue Now, create your own dialogue below: Character 1 Name : ________________________ Character 2 Name: ________________________ Dialogue:

  2. Alex: "I get that, but I have my own assignment to finish, and it's due tomorrow."
  3. Jamie: "Please! If I don’t hand this in, they’ll freak out, and I can’t bear to see that disappointment on their faces."
  4. Alex: "I understand, yet I'm not sure how much I can assist you with a limited time—maybe you should just ask for an extension."
  5. Jamie: "An extension? Are you serious? I can't just throw that excuse at them! I need your creative input, and you know it would elevate my work."
  6. Alex: "Alright, fine! I’ll help you, but you owe me big time after this, and we really need to hurry."
