CH 3-5 Notes



Analyse:

Désirée is walking though the woods and she finds a crashed car. At first she is happy that she is finally touching a car
She then realizes that there was a man in the car who is badly injured.
She begins to panic and tries to find help
The nearby peasants find the man and take him back to the village to help the man reluctantly
This man comes from money and is not one like the peasants
They take him to the cabin of Bienaimé where she tries to heal the man
She is not willing to argue with the God's will however and she believes if it is the mans time to die the man will die
Désirée however promises to herself that she will not allow this to happen
After many days go by the peasants grow concerned that the man will die in their village
Tonton Julian and M. Bienaimé try to go out of the village to get the attention of the outside world and say where the man is
They think he is a creole boy and that he is quite rich
The man starts to get a bad infection (maybe gangrene) on his leg. The villagers become really worried especially Madame Bonsanté who is the healer that the man will die.
Désirée conforts the man greatly laying with him and warming him at night
He grows more ill everyday he is in the village and is referred many times at "half-dead"
Désirée keeps insisting that "He must not die!" she drains the pus from his leg and goes to extreme lengths to try to make the man comfortable.
She loves him
A great rain storm comes which limits the search for the man.
Water makes it impossible for people to contact the outside world or even leave there village
Désirée one night with the man says that the window blows open and she sees "Papa Gé" the angel of death but she again shields the man
When things looks its bleakest the storm breaks and a helicopter is able to get into the village
The boy's father takes a look at his son and is amazed that he is still alive. The boys name is Daniel Beauxhomme
 The father thanks Mama Euralie and says that Julian is an intelligent and good man
The visit took less than 10 minutes
Toton returns days later and Désirée is sad that her love left

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...
