IN CLASS Peer Questions 12/5




1 Amanda always hopes Laura to find gentleman caller, Why does she think that having marriage is really important for Laura?
Amanda thinks that it’s really important for Laura to get married is because eventually when Tom will leave they need to have supplies and they; need someone who can give them that. .So Amanda can give Tom a permission to leave the family, and Laura’s husband will take care of both Laura and her mother.

2. Which character faces life more realistically? What affected them to be like that?
-Tom faces life most realistically; he owns all responsibility to earn money and to support family since no one works other than Tom. Therefore he has to give up his dreams, which are becoming as a poet and writer, and adventure. He spends all his time to working in the warehouse. He gives up his life, and puts all effort to work. Tom is exhausted and faces to the reality the most compare to Amanda and Laura who always stay in home.


3. How would laura's personality change if she didn't have a crippled leg?
Laura’s personality would change greatly if her leg wasn't crippled. She would become happier with her life. Laura’s main character flaw is that she is too shy. This stemmed off of her limp. She recalled going up the stair to the music room as if sounding like thunder. This enabled her to have a normal high school experience. She never had the courage to approach Jim and tell him how she felt. She is extremely insecure solely about her leg. If her leg was never crippled there is no evidence to think that Laura would still be an introvert.

How can you create the feeling that Laura is separate from the world
clothing
no one acknowledge her when she talks like an infant



Do you believe Amanda is a pitiful character?
She is selfish
She holds Tom back because she needs him
She pushes Laura only for her self needs

Footloose Review of Winter Musical

On Wednesday night February 27th, I decided to attend the Cheshire Academy varsity production of the musical "Footloose" in the black box theater. This was a dress rehearsal for the actual performance that took place on the first weekend of March. "Footloose" was written by Dean Pitchford, and Walter Bobbie in 1998. An interesting fact about "Footloose" is that the musical came out after the movie in 1984. Many times it is the movie that is made after the book or play. For the Cheshire Academy production, notable cast members included: Tony Wang, Olivia Williamson, Aaron Luo, along with 10 graduating seniors. "Footloose" is a musical play that many high school students can relate to. Ren McCormack is a teen from Chicago, who doesn't really fit in anywhere. Ren moves to a small town in the middle of nowhere. He loves to dance, but in this town dancing is illegal. This is because of Reverend Moore's son died in a drunk driving car crash ...

In class writing 5-7

Something that made each poetry recital unique is the performance and interpretations each actor had for their poems. Poetry is very adaptive and can be recited in many ways. For example, Leslie and Nan’s performances really stood out to me becuase they chose to sing verses of their poems. The music they chose had no relation to the original poem, but they made it flow as if the poem was perfect for the song. Their performances turned out great, and were by far my favorites of the class! Jack’s recital and performance I felt was kind of dry. He displayed very little movement on stage, and he was very hard to hear. Both of these things effective his overall performance negatively. On the bright side, I felt that Jack did a great job of picking his wardrobe, and was by far the most flashy dressed actor of the group.  When it comes to my performance I felt I could of been a little more engaging to the audience by adding music/sound since it seemed as if this was a constant strategy u...
