Your text offers suggestion on two basic approaches to acting, ie. the internal and the external. Chose either one and take the scene between Emily and George as your reference point and develop a fragment of "inner monologue" OR tactic concerning interpretation underlying a short section from the scene. I suggest the men choose to deal with George and the women choose to deal with Emily, although if you wish you may choose to develop an "inner monologue" or "external tactic" for either character. You may use up to 500 words for this module, given the complexity of the requirement. Be sure you let me know exactly which section of dialogue you plan to use for developing your answer.

- Inner Monologue for George

I chose to begin from the point that George realizes he's been elected to council along with Emily.

"Oh, there's Emily right there! She's so beautiful. Since we're both going to be on the Senior Class council, I'll finally be able to spend more time with her. But, she's been acting awfully strange lately. But she's still so beautiful, I can't help but look at her... I should walk her home and catch up with her."

[Starts conversation with Emily]

"Oh wait a minute, before I leave I should say bye to Bob! Give my teammate a bit of directions, just in case their captain shows up a little late. Oh, there's Lizzie. Where was I? Oh! I should congratulate Emily, I'm really proud of her."

"Why is she acting so distant? Have I done something to hurt her? She's been acting like this for a while now. I need to get to the bottom of this."

"What? I've changed? I don't know what she means. But she wouldn't have stayed so distant if there wasn't something genuinely wrong. Oh no... I don't think she likes me anymore. What have I done? And now shes about to cry? She doesn't deserve to cry. What will she say next?"

"Stuck up? Conceited? There's no way she would tell me I'm either of those two if it weren't true. And it just isn't only her? There really must be a problem. It's just that baseball and my responsibility as captain has taken so much of my attention, I just haven't been able to pay much mind to anything else. She can't cry though, I won't let it happen anymore. This behavior of mine needs to be corrected as soon as possible if I want to win her back. I just didn't realize my faults."

"Does she really expect me to be perfect? Gee, that's a high standard to be held to. I don't agree with her, every man has their own fault. Its girls like Emily that are perfect to me. Oh no she's tearing up again, I can't let her do that. But it's so hard for me to even talk right now... I need to bring her back up, maybe ask her out for ice-cream sodas? Please don't say no... I don't know if you'll even speak to me after. This may be my only shot."

"She said yes! There's still a chance to win her over. I can't mess this up. Gosh, she's so pretty. Maybe I should hold her arm on the way to the drugstore?... Maybe I should do that later... I pray to God she gives me this one chance. It's all I want."
