Weekly Writing Assignment #2: The Argument
Let’s face it: Conflict is part of the human experience. Wars, both public and private, both grand and small, persist throughout our lives. Of course, some people live for conflict…live for the argument.
This week, your assignment is to write a dialogue between two or more people having an argument. And by dialogue I mean NO NARRATIVE.
No need for paragraphs of introduction or descriptions of the scene.You may include small descriptions of the characters’ body language, since non-verbal communication is as much a part of an argument as what is actually said.
The characters can be any relation: spouses, parents, children, parents and their children, parents and other people’s children, coworkers, a boss and an employee, a bus driver and a bus rider, complete strangers, etc.
