There are two parts to the discussion this week:
Whether you are a novelist, playwright, screenwriter, teacher, or editor, dialogue can make or break the authenticity of a scene. Think about this scene from the film Snatch and how dialect is portrayed in this scene. Now turn your attention to the characters in your chosen works. How does their culture influence how the author writes authentic dialogue? Provide specific examples from your chosen works.
Take the dialect quiz found in the module reading and resources are to help you determine your accent. In your initial post, share which accent the quiz told you that you have and state whether you agree or disagree. Provide examples from the quiz results that were accurate and/or not accurate. Share an example of a word or phrase that is common in your area and what it means.
