Pick a section of the play, Quarreling and Making Up, that you read today and rewrite it in a way that:

a. avoids clichés — in both dialogue and situations

and

b. adds details that raise the stakes for the characters — underline these.

NOTE:
Because of dialogue formatting, this journal should be at least one page in length, front and back.

The journal should end with a decision or action on his part after he finishes reading.
