How to express the feelings of a character in a dialogue

http://www.thewriteprescription.com/catalog/Feelings%20&%20Emotions.jpgHey,

 

today we first warmed up with what you did during the holidays. Here are some adjectives that could qualify Quentin's Halloween party:

 

It was lame / boring /  crappy **

 

Then we continued speaking about the text from A Year in the Merde and we particularly analysed how the feelings and attitudes of the characters were expressed. Here is what we said:

 

Verbes de discours riches (au prétérit):

l-4 suggested
l-11 ventured
l-17 explained
l-38 retorted
l-46 confirmed

Manière d'agir:
L-8 frowned / laughed / turned to... for help (... for support)
L-27 smile
L-27 nodded
l-26 was not looking keen
l-44 was playing interpreter
l-25 were peering at me...
l-49 appealed to...
l-18 T felt as if I...
he put on a eureka smile

 

Autres compléments de manière: 3 possibilités de les exprimer!

- clearly
 

- in a desperate tone
- in a dishearted voice

- in a flat voice

- with a grin

 

 

HW: for tomorrow, you need to finish filling in the column "Manière d'agir". Don't forget the dialogue that you have to write for tomorrow.
