Examples: In Macbeth by William Shakespeare, dialogue was used to show the state of  Macbeth’s mind.	For instance, the line “Is this a dagger I see before me?” demonstrates Macbeth questioning  his reality.	This technique reveals Macbeth’s character  by showing the audience that he has started to hallucinate and that his mind is playing tricks on him, or, alternatively, that the witches are having more influence on him than he realises.	Shakespeare did this to show the consequences of Macbeth’s guilty actions. As the play progresses, Macbeth’s mind becauses more troubled and Shakespeare uses Macbeth’s  dialogue, actions, and the conversations of other to reflect this.	This dialogue  can be juxtaposed with the feast when he has a visitation of Banquo’s ghost and says “Then comes my fit again: I had else been perfect”. This highlights, to some degree, the fact that Macbeth is conscious of his hallucinations. However, a characteristic of insanity is the insane person not knowing that are in fact insane and by the end of the play, Macbeth no longer knows what is real and what is imagined around him. This highlights the fact that guilt through murder and ‘unfettered’ ambition can affect the state of people's’ minds.

In the SEXXXY template below, answer ONE of the following questions: I am answering question number: Copy and paste your question here: Planning Gather and Order ideas: Introduction: (Optional)
SEXXXY 1 In “ The OUtsider” by S.E hinton dialogue was used to see how Johnny feels about his life.	For instance Johnny was always get beaten by his parents and also don't care about his life. Demonstrate that johnny hates his life.	This technique reveals the other side of Johnny being beaten at home by his old man and how he love so much being a greaser that the gang is like a family to him.	S.E hinton did this to show us that a gang cannot be like a family but it can treat you like a family.	This can be juxtaposed to the film “ The Power of One” when how P.K hated his life, how his mother died and how Geel Piet got beaten to death by Sgt. Borman.
SEXXXY 2 In “ The Outsider” By S.E Hinton Music was used when Ponyboy was Dreaming about his dead parents.	For example in “ The Outsider” We see that ponyboy was dreaming about his parent’s alive and how his brothers aren’t a greaser a peaceful music was fascinating to hear combined with the costumes and background picture.	This technique reveals how Ponyboy really miss his parent’s and wanting to be free in the middle of being a greaser or fighting the Socs.	S.E Hinton did this to show us that all people who joined the gang are not all bad and are just caught up in the mess wanting to be free from the mess.	This can be juxtaposed to the film “ the Power of One” the african people wanted to have human right from being treated  a slave and wanting to have freedom of not being caught in such harshful ways of being black.
SEXXXY 3 In “ The Outsider” by S.E Hinton Foreshadowing was effectively used to show how Dally will die.	For example in “ The outsider” we see that dally know that johnny died and had a mental breakdown and robbed a store and got shot on his leg by the owner and called his friends to meet him at the park we see a blood at spot where he called his gang and it rain hard and and then they met at the park and got shot until he died in front of his friends.	This shows us the other side of dally of being not able to take that one of his friend died and could accept that his friend already died and he is also scared of losing someone that he cared for as a family.	S.E hinton did this to show us that people have different side but you just doesn't notice it and only judge what you see.	This can be juxtaposed to the film “ Superman vs Batman” batman tried to kill superman for something that superman have done and not knowing that superman is saving his most important person in the world his mom.
SEXXXY 4 In “The Outsider” by S.E hinton sound effect were effectively used on the film	For example in the film “The Outsider “ sound effect were effectively used when ponyboy was drowning it made it more realistic that ponyboy was drowning in the fountain and combined with the facial reaction it made more scared that this is the end for Ponyboy.	This show us how the socs really wanted to take over the line between the greasers and the socs and how they wanted the greaser to be gone forever like the poem “Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf, So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day Nothing gold can stay.	S.E Hinton did this to show us that nothing in the world can stay forever and treasure every precious moment that you have done.	This reminds me of our planet earth if we do not care of planet earth and conserve it and build more factories that consume our resources and create pollution nothing can stay forever.
