Great Gatsby Dialectical Journal
Scene1:
Scene 1 takes place in a small town. It is nighttime, very dark and very silent.
Inside the Way-stone Inn there are five men drinking beer and listening to Old Cob telling stories.
Old Cob is a very old man with a scratchy high voice. The men are in their early twenties. One, the apprentice that is always addressed as boy, is a hand taller than the others.
Off to the end of the bar a young inn keeper is listening to the story being told. You can tell it is familiar to him.
The Innkeeper has dull red hair and dull eyes very average build and height.
Old Cob: When he awoke, Taborlin the Great found himself locked in a high tower. They had taken his sword and stripped him of his tools: (lean closer to the four men making …show more content…
No windows. All around him was nothin but smooth, hard stone. It was a cell no man had ever escaped. But Taborlin knew the names of all things…..
The scene goes from the inn to a clearing. At the base of a tower the sky is black and a fierce storm can be seen all around. The camera moves up the enormous tower all the way to the top. (all this happens while Cob continues his story) (Cob becomes the narrator)
….and so all things were his to command. He said to the stone: “Break!” (The stone at the top of the tower explodes and out comes Taborlin.) He stepped to the edge and jumped.
Apprentice: (as the camera goes back to the inn you can see the apprentice’s eyes grow large as he gasps) He didn’t!
Cob: (nodes to the boy seriously) So Taborlin fell, but he did not despair. For he knew the name of the wind, and so the wind obeyed him. (Flashing back to the clearing you can see Taborlin floating gently down to the ground and the storm leaving as the sun came out.) (Camera still on Taborlin with Cob narrating) And he felt his side where the Chandrian had stabbed him and there weren’t hardily a scratch.
Apprentice: But how could it be …show more content…
(All the men’s eyes peel away from the beast to look a Kote with astonishment.)
Jake: Ya, ya, ya know what that is?!?
Kote: Scrael. I’d though the mountains—
Jake: Scrael? Blackened body of God, Kote. You’ve seen these things before?
Kote: (his eyes are now bright green and his hair is bright red. No one notices) (Stirred out of his trance) What? Oh, No… No of course not. (noticing that he is the only in arm’s length of the scrael he takes a step back.) Just heard of them, that’s all. (all the men stair at him)
Cob: Remember the trader that came through about two span ago? (everyone nodded already hearing this complaint a hundred times.) “Ba**ard tried to sell me half a pound of salt for ten pennies.
Jake: Wish I would have bought some…
Cob: Would of paid two pennies. But ten was a robbery.
Shep: Not if there are more of the one the road. (Said in a dark tone)
Kote: (Watching everyone’s eyes study the scrael) He told me he saw them up near Melcombe. I thought he was just trying to drive up his prices.
Carter: What else did he
