Mrs. LaRue Voice Project

In class we read, Dear Mrs. LaRue, Letters from Obedience School by Mark Teague. This is a picture below of the book:

We were learning about the VOICE trait for writing. This book demonstrates many types of voices. In my project I wrote an interview with Mrs. LaRue. I tried to demonstrate Mrs. LaRue speaking in many voices such as angry and fed up. You can read it below.

Allison: I am the interviewer for New York Times We has a guest here and it is
Mrs. LaRue!!
Mrs. LaRue: Hello, everybody!!
Allison: We’ve learned that your dog is in obedience school. Why?
Mrs. LaRue: Yes, Ike is very naughty. He once ate my chicken pie! Oh my!
Allison: Oh no! That is kind of weird.
Mrs. LaRue: Good you got the point.
Allison: What else did Ike do that made you very upset?
Mrs. LaRue: Tons. He howls at night when I’m not at home. Then that bothers my neighbors! He ripped my favorite camel hair coat while I’m crossing the street!
Allison: I guess you made the right choice to let Ike go to the obedience school.
Mrs. LaRue: Maybe not.
Allison: Why?
Mrs. LaRue: Because he said the obedience school was horrible and said he wanted to run away in his letters.
Allison: Uh oh!
Mrs. LaRue: He was very good when I first bought him. I just don’t know what has gotten into him. I’m getting so angry and fed up! That is why I sent him to obedience school. I kind of regret that I sent him because he is running away!!
Allison: Calm down, calm down.
Mrs. LaRue: Thanks.
Allison: Is there any more to share?
Mrs. LaRue: I think that is mostly it.
Allison: Thanks for sharing! Good-bye!
Mrs. LaRue: Good-bye!
Allison: Okay! See you next time!
