For this post I was assigned to read ‘Hills Like White Elephants’ by Ernest Hemingway In this blog post I will be composing another present scene. Except this scene will be focusing on having more dialogue and symbolism. The story that I will be writing out takes place this past weekend on September 21st. My friends and I are getting ready to take the ride down to The University of Delaware.
“HONK HONK!”, the sounds my car is making as I beep and pull up. I pull up to Annie's house on 18th street in Philadelphia “What’s good my dude!?”, says Annie as she runs over climbs in the car. “Took you long enough” says sully as he loads his bag into the car. “This place is like a zoo, you know I hate driving in the city.” I say as we pulled out of Temple University’s parking lot. We set out on our hour long journey to Delaware as I get on 95. It is rush hour so there are multiple aggressive drivers trying to constantly weave their way around my car. “These people are crazy, one of them is gonna get themselves killed.” I bellow as we make our way down the highway. “Philly drivers are something else man”, Says Sully “Anyone wanna play a game!?” Annie says enthusiastically “Absolutely Not” “Jinx” Sully and I start chuckling after we both have the same thought. We see a restaurant on the side of the road and decide to stop for a quick bite as it is nearing dinner time. “I didn't yet today so I'm gonna get a slice or two” I say “We didn’t eat either, so we will split a pizza with you if you want” says Sully “ Can we get a large cheese pizza” I say to the waitress She looks at the three of us and informs me that there large pie is a gigantic 18 inch pizza. “It’s pretty big for just three people” says the waitress “We are up for it do not worry about a thing” says Annie as she just starts to laugh uncontrollably Sully and I look at each other in confusion for a second, then realize she is referring to an inside joke we made at her 18th birthday party. “I am so hungry” I say “Ditto” says Sully The pizza comes out and we see that our waitress was not lying when she said it was big. “Dude we might need more people to finish this?” Says Annie “Oh my god that is so good” I say “I love it” Sully says “Anyone know how far we are from UD?” barks Annie “ About 20 minutes” I say We get back into our car after we finish eating. “ I only have 18 miles left before my car is empty” I say as I pull into the gas station next store. “Tonight is going to be super fun, Amelia has been planning this party for a while” says Sully “ I know right! And it’s a 70’s theme too which will be cool” I say “I got these high heels that have a fake fish in the heal so it looks super old” says Annie We all started to laugh as we pull off the road and arrive in Newark, Delaware. We meet our friend Amelia at her favorite place in town. Bar 18.

The dialogue was funny from the get-go! Good job painting a visual with the drivers, those people legit crazy. If that picture is anything to go by that pizza looks huge.
