By Wednesday, please write a short, informal creative piece of writing on the following and post to your blog:
As you saw in the Hawethorn short story, he makes an effort to accurately recreate the dialogue of colonial Puritans. This is a device used by many other authors (e.g. Mark Twain) to make the novel appear more authentic.
Listen to a conversation and try to recreate that conversation in written form. Don't try too hard (i.e. some words are just pronounced the way they are actually spelled!) but pay attention to how accents can change the way certain words sound. Please place the dialogue in context (e.g. briefly describe the locale, the situation and the people in the conversation). Be as creative as you wish.
