In the above picture, these two travellers are exploring the Himalayas for the first time. They got lost and had arrived in front of a locked log cabin. The evening was slowly approaching, and they had very little idea about which way to go and where to stay for the night.Imagine and create a conversation between the two travelers, discussing their route plan and what had to be done in order to find a shelter. |

Answer» Anna: I am sure that we are lost. Tom: I think so too, but let's not lose hope. Anna: Look at the hopelessness- we are right outside a shelter, but this cabin is locked! It will be pitch dark in about 2 hours time. Tom: The cabin is locked, but at least there is a cabin. If nothing better, we'll break the LOCK and spend the night inside. Anna: It doesn't sound right to me. Tom: We'll leave extra money when we leave. I am sure they will understand. Anna: I have an idea. I think we should try going south. Let's mark this SPOT so that if we don't find anything better, we can always come back here. Tom: But why south? We are already lost. How does the direction make a DIFFERENCE? Anna: Going north will mean going higher into the mountains; so, lesser chances of finding a shelter. Southwards we could possibly find a village. Tom: You definitely make sense! But what if we don't find anything there too? Anna: Then we will come back here. Let us give ourselves an hour's time to go southwards; so that we have an hour in hand if we need to come back here. Tom: That sounds like a logical plan to me. Let us not waste time and leave right away then. Anna: Yes, but we need to remember the location of this cabin. How do we TRACE our way back? Tom: We could mark the trees on the way down. A small mark should do, so we don't hurt the trees. Anna: Fine. Let's mark the trees every 40 steps or so. And place the mark about 4 feet from the BASE of the tree. Tom: Perfect! Now to hope for the best! More on dialogue-writing: |
