TEWWG Journal #2

Rules of Dialect (Adapted from Star Wars and LotR)  Character 1
1) All sentences are short and to the point.
2) Most sentences must end in an exclamation point.
3) The order of the sentence is switched so that the verb is first. Only done about half of the time.
4) If the character is talking about them self, they must do so in third person.
5) Must add an "s" to the end of any verb that is about them self. Such as, "I wants."
6) The word "will" is not used when talking about what other people will do.
7) Almost all of the sentences are repeated, especially those that end in a "!".

Character 2 (Made this up)
1) All sentences end in a question mark.
2) Does not use the word "my", only "me". Such as MEself instead of MYself.
3) Emphasis is put on the second vowel of every word, shown by capitalizing the letter in the place of emphasis.



Dialogue/Layout taken from page 36


"Come here, come here! I needs help from you. Move this couch, we must! Yes, we must, we must!"
"Can't you do it?"
"No, no, no! Gregory is strong, yes! Yes! But the couch is far to heavy for Gregory alone. Lift this end you can."
"Why not find somEbody elsE? Me back is hurting?"
"No, your help I needs! This couch is a fancy couch. Worth very much! Very much! I needs to have you help carry it. You help keep it nice and fancy!"
Gregory stayed strong like a rock wall, while he waited for Mr.T to give him a final answer.
"You, I thought to come to for help, yes!" He continued to remain statute and Mr.T was silent except for a few words,"I'll help with yoUr coUch? As long as me back don't start hurtIng morE?"
"Gregory doesn't know what will happen to your back. Long way up stairs! Far up the stairs - but easier with two! Yes, easier!"
When Mr. T finished with the couch, he laid down on his bed for his back. But morning came soon, so he rose and went to chair by the window. The breeze came through the open pane and blew the curtains aside. He sat on that chair for a long time, until Gregory came by, asking for his help pushing his car that died just up the road.
