Composing a Present Scene with Dialogue and Symbolism
This weeks post is going to be a present scene in my life about a college payment. Before writing this blog I have read How to Format Dialogue, Symbolism and Hills Like White Elephants (Ernest Hemingway) to help me compose a scene that includes both dialogue and symbolism. I lay in my bed with my eyes closed for 20 minutes before starting my day. The whole time I was annoyed by the sun peaking through my window straight into my eyes. Soon after, I wake up, check my phone, see that it it’s just past ten on Tuesday the eleventh and think to myself “pay day.” But, this weeks different from most I not only from my job but my mom offered me some money but I know I not be able to get it till about three when she gets done working. Knowing that, I call her to make sure that we were going to go get the money and she answers and says “of course I’ll go to the bank and give it to you to pay for it.” So I continue on with my day binge watching Netflix, texting friends, and messing around with my pit bike until about three. Soon after, I drive to Charlie’s where my mom also works and enter from the normal employee entrance. “Hey how’s everything going so far today.” Said by me to my mom “Not bad we were pretty slow today.” My mom said I then said “You are ready to leave right.” She didn’t say anything back and continued to run dishes to the front area as if I didn’t say anything to her. So, I then go out to my car to sit and wait for her to get done. I play a variety of games for about 50 minutes and check the time and see that it’s three fifty-five and my mom is still inside. Four minutes later she comes out smiling and gets into the car. Before I had the chance to change gears I asked her “sooo where do we have to go.” she says “home.” Not a second later I quickly changed gears and pull out of my parking spot and drive home regretfully not saying anything. When I had gotten home I logged onto my computer and paid my college bill.
