At the beginning of this assignment I had a hard time reviewing and being able to decide on how I was going to write this dialogue. Sometimes I would be ready to start and then overstress about the whole assignment and then decide not to do it that moment. Choosing the scenario was a little weird because basically we had the choice of choosing whatever we wanted. I did not know who would slap who or what would be the outcome? I wanted to choose so many but then they would not fit the description of the setting. My idea was not fully developed in what perspective I would take, but when I decided to take the initiative and start, I found out that it was nothing as how I imagined it. As I was writing the setting ideas came to me and so did the quotes that I had remembered. I found that this assignment was easier than committing to write a whole paper, and also it was more interesting. When I finally finished with the conversation, I went back and read more to see what other quotes I could use and this made it more extensive. I believed that this kind of writing was a new experience due to the fact that it was my first time writing in this way. At the end of the day, I knew that I needed feedback to make my paper better, but I was proud of what I had done.
