Dialogue assignment #1
"You were the one who wanted six kids," John snapped at his wife.
"Why are they your kids when they're good," Ann questioned, "and mine when they're bad?"
"Just lucky I guess."
Ann demanded, "Go tell them to quiet down!"
"I told you they're your kids today!" John snarled back.
"Ha ha," Ann laughed, "funny guy."
"Oh just let them be, they're having fun."
Ann remarked "I wish I was."
Dialogue assignment #2
"Son, I think it's time we have a serious chat."
"Okay dad," Billy asked, "about what?"
Joe replied, "The differences between boys and girls."
"I know that dad, boys like blue and girls like pink!" Billy answered joyfully.
"That wasn't quite what I meant."
"Well..." Billy enquired, "what do you think the differences are?"
Joe answered, "I think there are alot of differences."
" I also think your mum should have this conversation with you instead," Joe remarked.
Dialogue assignment #3
"Can't we just talk about this?" asked Dave.
Jenn snapped back, "No Dave."
"Hun," Dave desperately replied, "I've said sorry already, there isn't much more I can do."
"I don't want you to do anything more!"
Dave questioned, "Why can't you just let it go?"
"You think I should just let it go?" Jenn freaked, " Look what you did to me Dave!"
"Just leave me alone!" Jenn added.
"Can you please just forgive me Jenn? I'm really sorry!"

55 word short story.
BEAR
Life, carefree and happy,
Three best friends on a nature hike...
Sounds of the forest, birds, squirrels and wind,
Turn to silence, with a crack of a stick from nearby,
Heart thumping, hands shaking, legs run uncontrollably,
A minute in time which takes a hour to complete,
Back to where it began,
Life, carefree and happy.
RINGETTE
Six players, forty minutes, and a tied score.
Adrenaline and nervousness compete,
Crowd fades as silence takes over,
Skates cutting the ice in rhythmic fashion,
Top corner? Five hole? Decision needed now,
Mental and physical training released through the red light,
Sudden victory for one, defeat for the other,
Elation, celebration and exhaustion,
Gold medal.

O Captain, My Captain:
What would your world be like without me? You would miss my sparkling blue eyes, my witty sense of humor, my natural fashion sense, and my extraordinary ability to make you life brighter. You must agree that I am irreplaceable.
From a scientific point of view, I am very small and my lungs do not need as much oxygen as my larger classmates. You would not gain as much oxygen by killing me as you would by killing a much taller, larger classmate. I have competed at the AA level of ringette for many years, and my body is a finely tuned machine able to use very small amounts of oxygen very effectively. My breathing is not waste full, I make every small bit count.
I also wanted to let you know that in my future I am planning on studying counselling at TRU, I hope in the future I will be able to help as many people as you have, all though that may be an impossible goal.
I will promise you that for every two breaths you take I will only take one. This will save even more oxygen for your personal use.
Sincerely,
Cherilyn Bull
