<h2><span style="color: #0000ff;">Dialogue</span></h2>

The first exercise was a warm up and we had to right something to be placed on a bench after we've died. We also had to say where the bench would be placed and why. I wrote: <em><span style="color: #0000ff;">"He came into the world with nothing and the most of every moment". He loved, laughed and lived."</span></em><span style="color: #0000ff;"> <em>I placed my bench in the Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall. It is a very tranquil place, at one with nature and epitomises rebirth and regrowth. All things decline slowly and eventually die with the possibility of a legacy of being recreated.</em></span>

Next in pairs we had to produce a dialogue which contained a line of our own choosing. My partner and I chose the line <em><span style="color: #0000ff;">"I can't believe you just said that"</span></em>. I don't have a copy of the item because my partner wrote it in her book. It centred around a husband and wife discussing dinner when the wife mentions the fact that her husband has finished the bottle of wine. The husband delivers the line <em><span style="color: #0000ff;">"I can't believe you just said that"</span></em> and the wife says <em><span style="color: #0000ff;">"Cheers"</span></em> There was a definite subtext of animosity between them.
