The writing assignment on page 755 asks you to write an internal dialogue, but I think the assignment might be easier to picture as a dialogue between authors or characters from stories that we've read. Can you imagine Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Edgar Allan Poe debating why you should give a presentation on "The Musgrave Ritual" versus "The Cask of Amontillado"? Imagine, they might even talk to you.
"But Mr. Swaney loves my stories," Mr. Poe stated emphatically.
"No, no, no," interrupted Sir Doyle, "You have no evidence, my dear Mr. Poe, that Mr. Swaney loves anything you have written!"
"That's just not true," Edgar responded. "Each day after school you can hear Mr. Swaney listening to book-on-tape versions of my most popular stories. Of course he would look favorably on a presentation on 'The Cask of Amontillado'."
"Guys, relax!" I exclaimed.
