Writer's Challenge
Use a character that's familiar to you who (in this scene) is a peacemaker and pit him/her against a new character who is very angry about something.  Using the best possible SHOW, show your character being the peacemaker. At the same time, using the best possible TELL, make your new character very angry.  (You can reverse the SHOW/TELL if you want).  Click on MEETINGS for an example.
