Lighthouse

For writing, we had to write a dialogue on a video about a man and a lighthouse. A dialogue a conversation for a play video or pantomime. Before we made our dialogues, we had to make a plan. For my plan, I just had a vague outline of what the characters would say.

Dialogue

 “Woo Hoo!” yelled the villagers as the beacon’s light swept past the houses. “YEAH!”

The lighthouse keeper was inside the lighthouse writing on a piece of paper. “Oh, When would these annoying people Shut up?” he thought as he closed his window. Suddenly, there was a deafening CRASH!!! From above. His window flew open and blew out his candle. The lighthouse light had stopped!

    

 “Huh?” said the lighthouse keeper.

“Huh?” said the villagers.

“Huh?” said the lighthouse keeper again.

“I’d better go up and check it,” said the keeper to himself.

“Hmmm…” the bulb had exploded. “I can't reach it, I’ll have to just take the magnifier off and get the bulb.”

There was a low pitched blooooo. “ No!” exclaimed the keeper “that’s a boat horn!” He was so startled that he dropped the part that magnifies the light from the bulb and it shattered into thousands of pieces. “I’m doomed.” thought the keeper.

 Suddenly there was a knock on the lighthouse door.

“We are here to help,” cried the villagers.

As they climbed the lighthouse and held their light up, they could all swear that they heard someone say,

“Thanks! That was a close one!” from the boat.

Then, the lighthouse keeper whispered under his breath, “Wow, it is really nice to be with other people and become friends.”

The End
