Answer 2

Hey, can you help me

Answer 3

You can learn a characters traits and appeals, and learn more about what is going around in your surroundings just by mere speech between two or more people. In other words, a dialogue. Now, you pull some proof out of Alice and humpty dumpty to support this claim.

Answer 4

@MissSmartiez thanks, but can you help me a bit more. It is still a bit hard

Answer 5

So i understand what dialogue is but i need some more help

Answer 6

I didn't read the story sweetheart. Provide me with it and maybe I can give you examples. Or just pick something randomly with dialogue. Speeches like:

"Hey, Amelia, wait!"

"I cannot, I must flee beyond the moor!"

or something and I will help make something of it.

Answer 7

ok

Answer 8

Alice : [Amazed] It's a rabbit-hole--I'm small enough to fit it too! If i shrnk any more it might end in my going out altogether like a candle. I wonder what I would be like then! What does the flame of a candle look like after the candle is blown out? I've never seen such a thing!


Humpty Dumpty: [Sits on the wall.] Don't stand chattering to yourself like that, but tell me your mane and your business.


Alice: My name is Alice, but--



Humpty Dumpty: It's a stupid name enough, what does it mean?

Answer 9

@MissSmartiez

Answer 10

We can tell that Alice has a, somewhat curious nature. Poking her nose into anything that interests her from the dialogue.

Show me some evidence of this, @Infinexa

Answer 11

Ok, i think it shows that when she says, I wonder what I would be like then! What does the flame of a candle look like after the candle is blown out? I've never seen such a thing!

Answer 12

@MissSmartiez

Answer 13

Correct. Now.

What does humpty sound like to you? A bit curt? Maybe uncaring about other people's feelings rude? Answer this, then bring out the evidence.

Answer 14

He is rude and uncaring about other people's feelings, when he says, It's a stupid name enough, what does it mean?

Answer 15

@MissSmartiez

Answer 16

it means he disregards Alice's feelings and judges her in a somewhat crude way. Remaining hotty. So his character is what?
