Make Your Character Active

“Is anyone listening to me?” I shout against the loud chatter at the dinning table. My husband sits next to me in an awkward silence. Of course my sister had to make her presence known once again with another dramatic life story of hers. She says her boyfriend cheated on her again, all she does is complains about that fact but never does anything about it. I tell her to break up with him but of course that goes in one ear and out the other. To add onto the annoyance of family dinners the dog bit into the turkey that I had prepared for all day. Now nobody will even touch it, even though I had throughly chopped out the tainted turkey part. My family continues to complain about the night and all I want is to have a nice family thanksgiving but they ruined that for me. “You are all so unthankful” this time I stood up from my spot, threw down my napkin and shouted it from the top of my lungs. All eyes gazed up at me, all with concerned looks like they finally cracked me and I’m now going insane. Having their attention I begin to shout again “do you even realize how much effort I put into the thanksgiving dinner and no one shows me any gratitude or thanks for any of it? Im sick and tired of always putting in my best foot and getting shit back!” My mother looks like she is about to speak but I cut her off by my actions. I begin grabbing everyones plates from the table even if there was still food on them and they were still being picked at. I rushed into the kitchen and threw them into the sick breaking half of the plates. Im so angry at my ungrateful family I could care less at the broken plates laying in the sink.
