This is that dialogue calisthenic that we did in class. I would love to know if I am on the right track with this.
" I have always found myself eating all of the apple. The seeds, the sticker, even the stem. But that is only if someone makes fun of me for eating the whole apple. Watching their face scrunch up in confusion makes me want to creep them out even more. Its all fiber actually. Nothing that you couldn't eat regularly." I push the last bits of the Red Delicious into my mouth and lick my thumb and forefinger satisfied.
"My mother always says that I don't get enough fiber. You know she wants me to start putting Benefiber into my water? It says on the bottle that there is no taste but they lie. It makes me want to puke." Four bleach blonde, well toned Tri-Deltas walk by our table and pause briefly by our table, staring slightly in disgust.
"The only part that you really shouldn't eat is the seeds. They have small amounts of cyanide, which if you grind up five of them, you can actually kill a small child. I learned that in Chemistry sophomore year."
"Oh my gosh! My Chemistry teacher at Colonial Hills never knew how to pronounce chemicals correctly. She would screech at us every time we tried to correct her." Leah slammed her hand on the table as if having an epiphany, even though I heard this story just yesterday.
Hey, I think you're doing it right. While I don't know that the apples have any deeper meaning that reveals a whole lot about the character, I can see one forming. The apple-eating character may have been able to talk about what the other people who make fun of them as well in their second part of the dialogue. The second characters answer are great as far as indirectly answering the first. And I don't see any immediate problem with the "outside" factors, but I am wondering why the Tri-Deltas stopped at the table.
