Day Sixteen

Tya - One of the main characters in the story , she will have a Jamaican accent of course. She has the voice of the know it all, she thinks she is better than everyone but deep inside she really has a kind heart. The sound of her voice I guess would kind of be like the preppy girl ( not too preppy, kind of like how I act )


Bailey - He is also one the main characters in the story, he has that shy voice at first but then when gets around people he knows he can talk talk talk talk and he also has a Jamaican accent. He has to feel you out because he has been shut down many times before.


Tya - Wa gwan! < hi >
Bailey - Wa gwan! < hi >
Tya - It is like freezing out here!
Bailey - Yeah.
Tya - Dude? Every ting criss? < Everything cool? >
Bailey - Yep.
Tya - ( looks down at shoes ) Cooh deh! < look at that > Why are you wearing busted kicks?
Bailey - Why aren't you wearing a jacket?
Tya - You are weird man!
Bailey - Thanks ( rolls eyes )
Tya - I got to go I will talk to you later dude.
Bailey - (mumbles) Wear a jacket next time.
Tya - What you say bum?
Bailey - Me seh < I said > See you next time! Mi wi si yuh! < bye >
Tya - Likke man! < bye > ( walks away clueless )


I tried to put some Jamaican words into the story so not only will you learn words but the reader will get excited and want to read more of the story.

  1. I do not mean to be cocky but I think adding the Jamaican words made my post really stand out. I am going to give myself an A+ for creativeness! : )
