to a dancing partner may mean intimacy and a step backward away from the dancing
partner may mean letting go.
PAIR WORK. Write F (Forward) if the character just did a forward step and B
(Backward) if the character did a backward step through the
given lines in the story.

Task 4. You Can Dance!
What can be more close to the story than being part of the story--this time in a
different dimension. Interpret the emotion, thoughts, and promises that Awiyao and
Lumnay have for each other in the story through a dance. Were they really saying
goodbye to each other for real? Or were they giving a commitment they would hold on
to even if they would be separated from each other.
In groups of ten, be able to:
1. Choose a song to capture the mood of the night, the intensity of the struggle of
emotion, and the depth of feeling Awiyao and Lumnay have for each other;
(The song choice alone gives away a big part of your interpretation of what‘s
going on with the two characters.)
