    A Summary of Lesson 3 Actions In his previous two lessons, Joseph Williams stressed the importance of writing with clarity, correctness, and style. In Actions, he makes two important points: make the main characters the subject of a sentence and make the main action the verbs of a sentence (Williams, 44). Writers create clearer and more understandable prose for their readers when they revise a "revision" and turn a nominalization back into a verb. He identifies common problems, offers helpful tips, and includes nine do-it-yourself exercises that illustrate his concepts (33-44).…

    In some cases I would say that the dialogue does move the plot forward but I mainly used actions for that because if some actions didn’t happen, how could I have the dialogue to go with it? I do think that the dialogue is effective because it showcases the different emotions being felt from the different characters which is mostly fear in which if I didn't show the fear in these characters, it takes away the impact of the scares in the script for the audience in which if all this bad stuff is happening and if the dialogue doesn't show that fear these characters feel, the audience will find it much harder to relate with any of the characters. I believe that dialogue if needed improvement would be to find other synonyms for some the words to make it sound clearer I guess, but I feel at the moment the dialogue does what it needs to do and it…
