  1. DIALOGUE

  2. Which would you prefer? "Hello, hello," said Nearly Headless Nick, starting and looking round. He wore a dashing, plumed hat on his long curly hair, and a tunic with a ruff, which concealed the fact that his neck was almost completely severed. He was pale as smoke, and Harry could see right through him to the dark sky and torrential rain outside. 

 "You look troubled, young Potter," said Nick, folding a transparent letter as he spoke and tucking it inside his doublet. 

 "So do you," said Harry. 

"Ah," Nearly Headless Nick waved an elegant hand, "a matter of no importance. . . . It's not as though I really wanted to join. . . . Thought I'd apply, but apparently I 'don't fulfill requirements'" 
 
"In spite of his airy tone, there was a look of great bitterness on his face. 
 
"But you would think, wouldn't you," he erupted suddenly, pulling the letter back out of his pocket, "that getting hit forty-five times in the neck with a blunt axe would qualify you to join the Headless Hunt?" 

 "Oh - yes," said Harry, who was obviously supposed to agree. Hello, hello said Nearly Headless Nick, starting and looking round. He wore a dashing, plumed hat on his long curly hair, and a tunic with a ruff, which concealed the fact that his neck was almost completely severed. He was pale as smoke, and Harry could see right through him to the dark sky and torrential rain outside. You look troubled, young Potter said Nick, folding a transparent letter as he spoke and tucking it inside his doublet. So do you said Harry. 
Ah, Nearly Headless Nick waved an elegant hand, a matter of no importance. . . . It's not as though I really wanted to join. . . . Thought I'd apply, but apparently I 'don't fulfill requirements'. In spite of his airy tone, there was a look of great bitterness on his face. But you would think, wouldn't you he erupted suddenly, pulling the letter back out of his pocket, that getting hit forty-five times in the neck with a blunt axe would qualify you to join the Headless Hunt?
Oh - yes, said Harry, who was obviously supposed to agree.

  3. QIC - When we're writing dialogue we're QuICk! Concerned about quotation marks, indentation, and comma placement. Quotation marks mark the words a speaker says."Let's go to the park!" said Jim. Indentation needs occurs when: - a new speaker talks - you start a passage with no dialogueThe whole audience was silent. "I never expected this to happen," commented the stage director under their breath. Commas separate what is being said, from who is saying it (though they can be substituted with a question mark or an exclamation point if the character is speaking with emotion). When we’re writing it out, we always put the PUNCTUATION before the QUOTATION.

  4. Let's fix it! Shucks, even though it was Bug’s who’d come real close to getting his heart poked, I was the one who was still having trouble catching my breath. I asked how come you aren’t back at home? But before he had a chance to answer I knew. You’re on the lam. Bugs said yup I’m going back to riding the trails. When I heard about you beating up that kid so bad that you had to take off I figured it was time for me to get going too. I thought you might be hanging around the library so I come down to see if you wanted to go with me. Where are you heading? questioned Bud.

  5. TADA Shucks, even though it was Bug’s who’d come real close to getting his heart poked, I was the one who was still having trouble catching my breath. I asked, “How come you aren’t back at home?” But before he had a chance to answer I knew. “You’re on the lam.” Bugs said, “Yup I’m going back to riding the trails.

I thought you might be hanging around the library so I come down to see if you wanted to go with me.” “Where are you heading?” questioned Bud.

  6. Your turn! That’s where I’m from, I left there not an hour and a half ago the man said. He snatched the bottle out of my hand, grabbed my arm, walked me over to the passengers side of the car and started to open the door. I was glad I was going to be getting a ride but I said sir, I left my suitcase over in the bushes, can we please get it? See my eyes aren’t near as bad as I thought they were, I knew you had a box or something.

  7. EDITED “That’s where I’m from, I left there not an hour and a half ago,” the man said. He snatched the bottle out of my hand, grabbed my arm, walked me over to the passengers side of the car and started to open the door. I was glad I was going to be getting a ride but I said, “Sir, I left my suitcase over in the bushes, can we please get it?” “See my eyes aren’t near as bad as I thought they were, I knew you had a box or something.”
