Jane watched her friend, not knowing what to do or say. Finally, she hugged her friend tightly. “You don’t ever have to prove yourself to me.” Kelly wiped a tear away. “I know…I’m just tired of trying…”

Formats to use:Formats to use:  Dashes (-) to show sudden break in thought or interruption  Ellipses (…) to show faltering speech or pause  Tab (new paragraph) when a new person is speaking  Double quotation marks vs. single quotation marks.

Interior Monologue FormatInterior Monologue Format  It is suggested that you use italics to highlight a character’s internal thoughts. I wonder if she ever loved me, Brad thought to himself. There was a knot in his stomach as he walked up to the door.

You try!You try!  Look at your photograph/memory again. What thoughts were racing through your head as your were experiencing your memory?
