WRITING OBSTACLE
Write from a dove’s point of view conveying how it feels about being a symbol of peace.
A Conversation with Pax the Dove
“We’re here today with Pax the Dove. She is going to tell us what it’s like to be THE symbol of peace throughout the world.”
“Coo coo coo coo.”
“What’s that you say?”
“Coo coo coo coo.”
“Right. I suppose that you are not necessarily THE symbol of peace. But your kind are. Doves are. So Pax, what does it feel like being that symbol.”
“Coo coo coo coo. Coo coo coo. Coo coo coo coo coo coo.”
“I see. So even though you cannot speak for all doves, you feel that it is quite the honor. Not only that, but you feel that all doves should do their best to carry on that image of peace.”
“Coo.”
“So isn’t that a lot of pressure?”
“Coo. Coo coo coo coo coo coo. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo.”
“I see. So the folks who cannot take the heat should get out of the kitchen. Or they could…”
Coo coo coo. Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo. Coo coo coo. Coo coo coo coo coo coo. Coooooooooooo.”
“Well, that is quite a mouthful. Oh my. Look at the time. We’ll have to catch up with Pax the Dove, symbol of peace throughout the world at another…”
“Coo coo coo coo coo coo. Coo coo. Coo coo coo coo…”
“…time. Thank you Pax. It was an invigorating conversation.”
“Coo coo. Coo coo coo coo…”
