Compose a short dialogue. 1. Select a parable from the New Testament (such as the prodigal son, the five foolish virgins, or the tares of the field) or an episode from the Old Testament (Ruth, Naomi, and Boaz; David and Goliath).

2. Reread the passage carefully, deciding what the emphasis should be.

3. Next, decide how many characters will be necessary, listing their Biblical names and a brief character description. Also, visualize the setting, and describe it in a short introduction.

4. Now, write the scene in dialogue, using modern English. Your play should be no less than 250 words.

This dialogue is based on: (Ruth 3:7-14) it’s over 250 words.

“Who are you? What are you doing?”

“It’s me my Lord, it’s me your slave girl Ruth”

“Why do you frighten me like so? I am an old man, a troubling heart could have come upon me my child. And, why do you refer yourself as my slave girl? You are a free youthful soul, are you not?”

“No my Lord, I am not free”

“How are you not free my child?”

“I am not free for my heart belongs to you. I long with all my heart that you become mine only. I stopped myself so many times from telling you this because I feared you would reject me your servant girl. I hoped you yourself would step up and speak to me, I hoped that you yourself would notice that you were my repurchaser. But, it is me who has come to you this trembling night to confess how much I care for you. So, please spread your garments over your servant girl, for you are my repurchaser”

“Blessed you be my child for your eyes have not looked upon the youths upon this land. For you have not fallen for or wedded men who are either rich or poor. You have showed loyal love today more than the first day I saw you. And now my daughter I shall do everything you say dear for everyone in the city knows that you are an excellent woman”

“My Lord, have you really found love upon your servant girl?”

“Since the first day I saw you my child my eyes saw a hardworking soul filled with loyal love. I laid my eyes on you before you ever laid my eyes on me dear child.”

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
