I and Yichen use the form of the letter to make conversation between the son from Night Women and the daughter from New York Day Women. Based on the story, we develop our characters more in their emotions. Both of us talk about our feeling to our mothers, that we understand their sacrifices and we should be grateful to them.
In our dialogues, we use some words to connect our letters, that makes our conversation more real. I start my first letter with the title "Dear D.Daughter" and ending with "Sincerely". Also, in my first letter, I repeat the similar points between characters like "my family did not have a superior background either" to link our characters. Then I use her words about "Behind every colorful life..." to start my second letter "The break of the shadow of my colorful life...". In my opinion, by having those connections in dialogues, our audience believe that our characters are actually writing letters to each other.
Our story in developed from both Night Women and The New York Day Women, we choose to let the son and daughter grow up and talk about their mothers. The main point of our story is to understand. So we first tell the original stories in our dialogues, then we exchange our understand about mothers. Those lead to the sacrifice of mothers and led our character to be grateful and respect their mothers. As we say together "Never forget those sacrifices your family does" at the end, we want the people of the story to move on to their new life.
In total, I think our scene let the story of the book continues and develop more about our characters. We also find it interesting to provide new perspectives of our characters. After all, it is interesting to work in this short scene.
