In Fiction: How long can conversations go on before they get boring?

From the perspectives of both readers and writers, how long should the literary conversation last? Is more than one page (with appealing contents) too long for a conversation?

Do you prefer to read conversation or descriptive observation when reading a book? Why? (obviously, a mix is preferred, I’m merely asking you to pick a favorite).

Analyze Lord of the Flies exposition?

Ok..so I am supposed to decide whether the exposition of the Lord of the Flies was good or not and explain why. This is what I have so far:
The exposition in Lord of the Flies is done well because the reader learns a lot of background information quickly, but it isn’t just stated outright. The characters are introduced and the reader learns these background details through Piggy and Ralph’s conversation. The reader learns that Piggy’s dad is dead and that he lives with his auntie. The reader learns that Ralph’s dad is in the Navy. The reader also learns that Piggy has asthma because he repeatedly tells Ralph this. All of the additional characters are introduced mainly through conversation with either Piggy or Ralph. Many characters are also introduced through appearance. Appearance seems important to William Golding in describing the characters. For example, the reader learns that Piggy is fat and wears glasses, and that Ralph is fair-haired and built like a boxer.
Could you help me finish it?
Thanks you!!!

Do you ‘member how things were ….before?

By-Gone Era

The art of conversation
Reader’s Digest on the coffee table
Straining to see the first snowflake

Whittling
Playing the harmonica
Hambone, hambone…have you heard?

Not being in a rush
Using a pencil down to the nub

Tiddlywinks, Woody woodpecker, Winnie Winkle
Being afraid of the ferris wheel
In a hurry to grow up
Wondering how much money the tooth fairy was going to leave

Making helicopters with maple tree seeds
Slowly chewing grass stems of cat tails
Tripe slowly simmering in a pan

Being embarrassed over small matters
A fruit cake that actually tasted good
When knowing 16 colors covered everything

Delicious cold water from the fire hydrant
More delicious-er cold water from the water pump
Packing in the car to go to the drive-in movie

Commonplace Cardinals, Blue Jays, humming birds and
Butterflies flitting about in your backyard

The smell of the warm damp earth
Fresh milk on your doorstep
Buying milk from a vending machine

Argo Clothes Starch
Washboards
Wet laundry frozen solid on the line
Glorious sun dried sheets

Absolute stillness after a snowstorm
Thinking that there was plenty of time
Wishing you said I love you just one time

Morally, is this wrong of me?

This thread again, i want more opinions and its deep into the pages.

well, i was talking to my friend who lives over in California, i myself live in Illinois.
He told me that he rejected this girl because he didn’t like her, but she wouldn’t leave him alone. So i told him to introduce me to her, and id do some playful flirting to make her loosen up a bit and get over him a bit.

I kept it light, but apparently within two weeks of us meeting, for three days she was still in love with my friend, and now she wants to marry me.

Iv rejected her and told her that because of where we live, we cant meet and we cant be together, and she needs to find someone she likes that’s closer too her.

she didnt agree with this, no matter how much i insisted and how much of a dick i was, and still tried to flirt with me. But I’m naturally flirty, so within a few days, i started flirting again.

This is where i need your opinion

After a few more days, i made a deal with her; I told her that I’ll still flirt with her and she can flirt with me, as long as she tries to find someone else and her whole day does not consist of talking to me.
She agreed, and we have been flirting hardcore, and she tells me she wants to get a web cam and put on a little "show" for me.

I dont love her, iv never been in love my whole life. I like her, and i want her to be happy, but i think thats as deep as my feelings go for her, i just like her more than any girl i know.

She just turned 14, and i just turned 15, so is it wrong to just keep this up?

Should i just tell her what iv told her before; Think of our relationship like a fairytale. A fairytale is full of love, and its fun, but its not ******* real. Our relationship is a fairytale, it isn’t true.

Iv seen her before in pictures, legally i don’t think this is allowed, but morally? what is your guys opinion on this.

I feel like a complete azz-hat for possibly ruining a girls teenage years, and possibly her innocence.
but we are only about 14 months apart in age, of course its natural for me to like girls my own age, but i feel its a bit wrong that she is talking about getting married when she is 14, with a person she has known for 3 weeks.

Man, i feel better after typing all that out.

Please, tell me morally what you think is the right things to do, and what you think about our behavior.
Feel free to insult, threaten, or anything. i want your true opinion.

I dont want to ruin any moments of her life, or ruin what could have been the moment when she found someone who could make her happy for longer.

She says she happy when shes with me, even if we cant meet, and wants to make it works.
I just don’t love her, i think im incapable of love, but that might just be because i haven’t met the right person.

But, is she really in love with me? or is it just a serious infatuation like she had with my friend, who she got over in three days?

The girl who i flirt with has very low self esteem.
I think shes just beautiful and i do care for her, i just don’t love her.

The first time i told her that if worse comes to worse, i would stop contacting her and block her from every program i use. But my friend let me listen in on a conversation
(readers inner monologue; *gasp* eaves dropping is wrong!)
and i started to notice just how low her self esteem was, and i think i pitied her a bit, and when she started flirting again i just couldnt refuse her.

( getting tired of perfect punctuation, im going to stop using ‘. Sue me. )
And now when i talk to her, theres no blood in my brain, so i cant make good decision’s and
i just want to flirt more.
I’m not going to be hurt by this, only if this whole thing crash and burns so badly she never wants to speak too me, but i only met her three weeks ago.
It’s nothing i would be very emotional about.
@pamela; So my life could be a bad romance novel? bitchin. maybe nina bangs could help me write the rest of it and spice it up with some vampire action.
@Dazed; My nickname for her is the "Super christian" i don’t believe she will be of any harm too herself, but i definitely don’t want to mislead her.

I plan on telling her later today (its hella late today, but i don’t feel like going to school so meh.) my feelings. But if she is still willing to flirt with me, after knowing that i don’t love her and there is extremely slim to none chance that this will work, then I’m just going to flirt back and have some fun.
@ Nat; you speak very well, just thought id mention that.

Of course im hormonal, a 14 year old girl is talking to me about her gym short shorts am i just going to say "…kay.." hell no.

But i have complimented her countless times, and have tried to raise her self confidence and i think iv succeeded for the most part, but when or if i set her in check again it might just make things worse than they have ever been.

This is one of the things im wanting to avoid;
Also, about the car idea. She has talked about saving up money and coming out to see me, or flying me out there.
Here is where i think this plan isn’t too well thought out.
Myself; hey mom, il be back in two weeks, I’m going out to California to see a 14 year old girl im not 100% sure i love, but totally wanna get with.
Mother; ………….ah…..no.
Father; Son, let me check your pupils, cause i think you’re fuckin high.
@ michael;
I don’t know about morally incorrect, but my spelling sure was. But, that’s one of my favorites.
@Joan; thanks for trying to help miss
But personally, i don’t think god has any influence in our lives, i think he just lets us live our lives for ourselves. I don’t practice, but i believe in god.

But i don’t get how my father came into the mix in that one.. lol.
We are 14 and 15.

You seem like a very nice girl though, thanks for trying your best to help me.
Have a Pleasant day, or a good night.
