Dialogue+Analysis

Blue Book Unit 1 blue p 58 Dialogue Analysis x An important part of characterization is how the characters talk, or their dialogue. A writer shows dialogue in several ways: ***Quotation marks are set at the beginning and the end of the character's spoken words. ***Every time a different character speaks, a new paragraph starts. ***Speaker words such as she said, he asked, or whispered the boy tell who said the words and sometimes how the words were spoken.

Dialogue makes the characters seem real by revealing their thoughts, responses, and feelings.
