Character Sketch Essay: An Sketch Of A Story
This sketch is set in present day in the playhouse in a kindergarten classroom. The two main characters, Emmi and Lucy, are both five years old and are best friends. While glitter painting is another favourite of theirs, ‘pretend’ is their game of preference.
Emmi: Do you want to play pretend?
Lucy: Ok. This is our house and that is our dog and I am the wife and you are the husband.
Emmi: How come you get to be the girl? You ALWAYS get to be the girl.
Lucy: That's because you didn't share your Gushers with me and that makes me the girl.
Emmi: That's not fair, I'm telling!
Lucy: Fine. You be the wife and I'll be the husband. I'm home from work honey!
Emmi: Ok, I'll make dinner. [Makes dinner on kitchen play set while Lucy …show more content…
[Emmi gets a duster and starts dusting while Lucy eats and reads]
Emmi: Ok. Let's pretend it’s bedtime. [They lie down on a bed and snore for 5-10 seconds, then Emmi sits up]. I'm going to make breakfast.
Lucy: I have a better idea.
Emmi: What?
Lucy: LET'S GET MARRIED.
Emmi: But we're already husband and wife.
Lucy: So? My mom got married three times already.
Emmi: ...Ok!
[The girls quickly dress up as bride and groom, and stand facing each other]
Lucy: I love you and promise to watch TV on the couch while you make me food.
Emmi: I love you and promise to cook food while you watch TV.
[They exchange rings and give each other a kiss on the cheek]
Lucy: Ok. We're married. Let’s go on a honeymoon!
Emmi: [grabs doll, stuffs it under shirt] AHHH, I'M PREGNANT!
Lucy: What? How?
Emmi: I don't know! Maybe we kissed too hard!
Lucy: No, my mommy said something about birds and bees. Did you get stung recently?
Emmi: No, I'm allergic! If I did, I would be having anaphylactic shock by now!
Lucy: Well, did you touch a bird or something? Or maybe you ate raw chicken?
Emmi: JUST DO SOMETHING, MY WATER'S BREAKING! I'M DILATED TO A 9.5!!!
Lucy: PUSH HONEY, PUSH! YOU GOT THIS!
Emmi: Do you want to play pretend?
Lucy: Ok. This is our house and that is our dog and I am the wife and you are the husband.
