Writing exercise.

[ysobelle]

"Only she can write back."

Write five sentences, each one stressing a different word in the above sentence.


ETA: Mea culpa. I didn't explain myself. One sentence to respond to a different stressed word in the above. Example:

Only: "The rest of you will have to wait your turn."

She: "He'll send a carrier pigeon."

Can: "No one else can hold a pencil in their tentacles!"

Write: "The rest of the class sent terribly ineffective mental waves."

Back: "But you're welcome to send her as many silly, desperate notes as you want, loser."

You may have one cookie, and one cookie ONLY!

She's not who I thought she was.

My sense of Can-do spirit is weak this early on a Saturday morning.

I don't write as well as I'd like to.

Stand Back from the line, move slowly.

Ah, ok..I'll have to think about that one.

I totally wrecked the explanation! Sorry, snooks!

"Only she can write back."

You are my one and ONLY.

SHE ain't heavy, she's my dog.

I CAN dance the CAN-CAN without falling on my CAN.

When I was young I often mis-spelled right and WRITE.

Baby got BACK.

OK, I did it wrong now that I see your new explanation.

So I am confused. . . you want us to illustrate a different stressed word in each sentence. I don't think I did that, did I. . .::ponder::

"Only she can write back."

(ONLY she can write back) The rest of you will have to dream that you can!
(Only SHE can write back) No one else in the family has opposable thumbs.
(Only she CAN write back) You all are tied up.
(Only she can WRITE back) Her husband has to pee in snow.
(Only she can write BACK) And her co-workers are stuck writing forward.
