Assignment #12

1. Writing my play was a lot of fun for me. I got to write about what I was thinking about when I was thinking about it which was great. My only problem was the limitations to what I could do on stage. I originally wanted to have my play take place in several different settings but when you are performing something on stage it is difficult to do because there is a limited amount of space and time to put on a production. I personally don't like writing plays because I don't feel that I can be very creative because of all of the limitations. I also don't have the patience to write a play. If I have a good idea I roll with it but once I stop I completely loose interest.

2. I think I could write a story about my old dog Winnie because she is something that I'm really passionate about. I think if I wrote about her I would be able to keep going with all of y experiences with her form the day I brought her home to the day she died. She was very important to me and my family so I would be able to tell the story from more than one point of view. I could also write a story about my family and the things that go on in our lives. My family is unique to put it nicely and I think that a select few of my family members would be good characters to base a comedy off of.

3. If I had to tell a five year old kid something about growing up in this cruel world is to not have any individuality. If you are like everyone then people will like you. It doesn't make any sense to try and branch out and be your own person because people will just not except you. The only way to make friends is to have something in common. No one appreciates individuality everyone is just obsessed with being the best. My best advice for them is to buy what everyone else is buying and look like everyone else and you will have friends and life will be good for you.

Assignment #11

1. I think that it is very important to have a theme in your writing because without the theme the story doesn't go anywhere. If you write a story how can you write without a theme? I think that would be really chaotic. The story would jump all over the place but even then it would still have a theme of being jumbled. It is virtually impossible for a story to have a theme because there is no such thing as a story without a theme in my opinion.

2. If the piece of literature is good and attracts a big audience then it will be passed on for a while. Things have good themes, central ideas, and main points will be read for years to come. I can not see myself writing something that lasts because my writing isn't very good. I kind of get caught up in the mix of my writing and I forget to add something and I'll add it later but it doesn't necessarily make sense so I put is somewhere else where it makes equally as little sense as before. It's just one big circle of confusion.

3. I want to be a famous actress and I think that would have an impact on the people around me. I have always dreamed of being on Broadway some time in my life time. I want to be the one who blows people away for a change instead of being in the back round. I want people to remember me and talk to their grand kids about the time when I did something that really amazed them. I want to be the person who kids want to be! I just really want to be famous.

Assignment # 10

1. Something in the world that concerns me is bad teachers. It's really surprising to me how many there are and it concerns me when I take into consideration the fact that almost everything that we learn is from our teachers. It also freaks me out because they are the ones who are the bad teachers yet they are the ones who give us our grades! Then those grades are recorded in our record for colleges to see and if they don't like the grades that we are given they don't accept us and it all goes to the teacher that gave us a bad grade for their sucky performance.
2. I know this person who is BOLD beyond BOLD! She always says whats on her mind no matter if you want to hear it or not. She's not trying to be mean she just feels that she needs to let you know. The thing that I like about her is that I know if she didn't care about me that she wouldn't say the things that she does
3. Explain in detail. Something that really inspires me is good music. When I listen to good music ideas, no matter how random they are, start flowing like there's no tomorrow. The music that has been inspiring me the most lately is the sound track from Le Roi de Soliel. Even though it's all in french I feel like I understand whats going on and how the characters feel and that inspires many ideas in my head.
