Intensifiers - obstacles that you will have to struggle against. The
struggle against obstacles makes one perform at an intense level. I.E. speaking
to a partially deaf person. Intensifiers make an actor work harder, while
making your quest dramatically interesting.
With a partner, copy the following dialogue and memorize.
When finished, I will give the scene, which character has the intensifier,
what the intensifier is and the location.
