Task 2: Lit Text (20 marks)
Natural Language: realistic conversations. People don't always speak in complete, grammatically perfect sentences. Some sentences are unfinished (if something happens or someone interrupts)
Show, Don't Tell: Use dialogue to reveal character traits and emotions instead of directly stating them. Imagery + figures of speech in the narration are important.
Subtext: Dialogue should carry hidden meaning beyond the literal words. Consider body language and context.
Variety: Use different sentence structures and lengths to avoid monotony.
Action Lines: Intersperse dialogue with short descriptions of actions and expressions to help the reader visualise the scene (imagery).
