‘’It’s bothersome how they can grab you whenever they want. I was hoping to get some sleep this morning.’’

Direction:

Mundane conversation.

Chatting with friends.

You’re slightly annoyed the Sergeant ordered early work this morning.

(inner monologue):

‘’At times like this, I kind of wish I smoked. Rose said it helped with the cold.’’

Direction:

Inner thoughts, introspection. You have taken a break from the hard work. You are cold and tired—resting on a balustrade.

‘’(outburst) You are leaving your own men to die! (silence)…There are still soldiers to be evacuated….Sir’’

Direction:

Your friends are dying a kilometre away. Those you are with are abandoning them. You have mustered up the courage to confront the apathetic C.O. You are terrified.
