I seem to be starting an annoying habit of not being able to choose.. probably cauused by the long due holiday ;-))..<BR/>Another dialogue, from the Joy Luck Club (Amy Tan).<BR/><I><BR/>And then, one evening, after I had begged her to buy me a transistor radio, after she refused to buy me one and I had sulked for an hour, she said, "Why do you think you are missing out on something you never had?" And then she told me a completely different ending to the story.<BR/>"An army officer told me to run away from Kweilin. [..] So I packed my things and my two babies into this weelbarrow and began pushing to Chungking, until my wheel broke. By then I didn't have enough feeling left in my body to cry. [..] <BR/>I tied scarves into slings and put a baby on each side of my shoulder. I carried a bag in each hand until deep groves grew in my hand. And I finally dropped one bag after the other when my hands began to bleed and became too slippery to hold anything. [..]By the time I arrived in Chungking I had lost everything except for three fancy silk dresses which I wore one on top of the other."<BR/>- "What do you mean by 'everything'? I gasped at the end. "What happened to the babies?"<BR/>- She didn't even pause to think. She simply said in a way that made it clear there was no more to the story: "Your father is not my first husband. You are not those babies..." </I>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912920652511807597.post-37048201364146688002007-08-14T14:31:00.000-05:002007-08-14T14:31:00.000-05:00Okay..

I never remember dialogues from books!<BR/>But still, I have done some searching, and to stay inline with your blog, I came up with one of mine and my children's favorite books: Fantasia II from Geronimo Stilton.<BR/><I> <BR/>- She smiled at me: 'Welcome Geronimo'<BR/>- 'Sweet Majesty, though the difficulties the Fantasia Club has encountered were infinite, here it is: the Heart of Happiness!'<BR/>- She accepted the Heart: 'Thank you Geronimo'. Then turned around and said: 'Return it to the crystal cave!'.<BR/>I squeaked: 'What? Do you want to return the Heart to the cave? After all it took us to find it?'<BR/>- Florina smiled sweetly:'I knew where it was hidden, I was just afraid there was nobody left to search for it.<BR/>I was hoping you would. That you would take this long, exhausting trip to find out that Happiness doesn't mean that all your wishes are fulfilled. Happiness is not what you own, it's who you are! That's a small BIG secret, that can change your life.. and the world!' <BR/></I>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912920652511807597.post-21495251532091032622007-08-14T13:19:00.000-05:002007-08-14T13:19:00.000-05:00Thank you Jos! :))AnnThank you Jos! :))<BR/><BR/>Annaniceplaceinthesun.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12356497322124481526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912920652511807597.post-41274355220248254862007-08-14T11:42:00.000-05:002007-08-14T11:42:00.000-05:00Winston, great job, but I do need to know where it...Winston, great job, but I do need to know where it is from? LOL! You can pick from a movie too I did, ha ha<BR/><BR/>I hope you come back and let me know where your dialogue came from. Plus, can I shorten it if I need too? <BR/><BR/>I'm thrilled you look forward to Tuesdays question. I do too! I will try and come up with one that you math wiz's will find stimulating, o.k.?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for playing Winston! <BR/><BR/>Ann <BR/><BR/>P.S. I'm looking forward to reading your post!

"You have to...But Sebastian was completely serious. "You have to leave Lima," he said. "If you take my advice, you will go south to Ayacucho. I have many friends in the city who will look after you. Perhaps the police won't look for you there."<BR/><BR/>"I still want to go to Ica."<BR/><BR/>"You are stubborn and you are stupid- but you care about your friend and that, I suppose, does you credit." Sebastian spat. "very well. You can stop in Ica if you think it will do any good. The first bus leaves tomorrow morning at six o'clock. It is almost certain that the police will be watching the bus station and we will have to think about that."<BR/><BR/>Matt nodded. Suddenly he felt awkward. from the moment he had met Sebastian, he had sensed a sort of hostility between them- without knowing why it was there. "Can I ask you something?" he said.<BR/><BR/>"What??"<BR/><BR/>"You obviously don't like me very much. So why are you helping me?"<BR/><BR/>"You're wrong. It's not true that I don't like you very much. I don't like you at all. The police are crawling through the shanty towns thanks to you. They are making arrests, asking questions making things difficult."<BR/><BR/>"So why don't you just hand me over? It's obviously what you want to do."<BR/><BR/>"It is exactly what I want to do. But it was Pedro who dissuaded me. He tells me that he's seen you in his dreams."<BR/><BR/>Haha I wait with bated breath for your Tuesday questions..Hope next week's one wouldnt be so literary centred as I am a maths boy :P<BR/><BR/>Please do go over to read my new post and I hope for your valuable comments :)mr fonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05980661085489515044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912920652511807597.post-73733922575627482007-08-14T08:40:00.000-05:002007-08-14T08:40:00.000-05:00- "Your God person puts an apple tree in the middl...- "Your God person puts an apple tree in the middle of a garden and says, do what you like, guys, oh, but don't eat the apple.

Wow, I really admire you for coming up with these great questions each time.<BR/>My first reaction on my favorite dialogue would definitely be the one from When Harry met Sally.. But hey, let's not enter that one.. Would ruin my 'reputation' for ever ;-))...<BR/>I'll do some thinking today (which is kinda hard, since it's my last day at work before holidays, so stress levels are going through the roof...). But I'll definitely try to to enter a good one!<BR/>Hope you have a good day, and very good entries!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
