Previously on Expressing Emotions:
In Expressing Emotions: Creative Writing, students read the part of the monologue, made reasonable guesses about what the mother said based on the context, analyzed the emotional changes of the characters and continued writing the story to bring it to a reasonable end. They were encouraged to make adjustments to the original script wherever they see fit.

Blessing in Disguise
I’m just so angry, Mom. I mean 3 minutes! Three lousy minutes!
...
I missed my flight! I saw the plane take off!
...
I am still in the airport now. The weather has gotten so bad that everything has shut down so, for now, I can’t even get home. Looks like I’ll be spending Thanksgiving in the airport.
...
Don’t cry, Mom. I am OK. Maybe the weather will change for the better in no time and I can head home. Mom, tell me what’s going on right now? Tell me what you’re having for dinner.
...
How I wish I were there! Who’s there now?
...
Wow. Tell everyone I love them and I miss them.
