Dialogue
Norman Friedman[1] creates the following hypothetical dialogue:
- PT: (a college coed): My English professor gave me only a B on my paper yesterday. I don't think he likes me.
- TH: Would you tell that to him?
- PT: "Why are you so down on me? Don't I do all the homework?"
- TH: Now switch over and be him. (physically changes seats)
- PT: (As her English Professor) "Sure, you do all the work. But you're just a drone, no imagination."
- TH: Can you hear yourself? Whom do you sound like?
- PT: You know, I think he looks a little like my father to me! He never liked anything I ever did.
