Let's write sausage sentences. What is a sausage sentence? It's a meaningful string of words whose beginning and ending letters match. For example, notice how the blue letters match in the following sentence:
Every yellow warbler rested during Gideon's skillfully yodeled ditty.
It's great fun to create good sausage sentences. It's also fun to create a character who only speaks in sausage dialogue.
For example, I have a dog whose name is Puffy, and Puffy thinks sausages are the most delicious thing on earth. We call him "sausage dog." If I ever wrote a story about Puffy, I think I would have him only speak in sausage dialogue:
Dialogue that Puffy might say in my story about him:
"Sausages smell le-dicious!"
"I insist that ."
"Bow-wow-wow!"
Etc.
Can you invent a character who only speaks in sausage sentences? Can you write a story or a comic strip that stars your character and features his/her dialogue!
HAVE FUN!
