Presentations!!

So far everyone, the group presentations have been awesome!!



Group #2 (my group)

Great job everyone!! way to be dramatic in your acting and amusing for the audience to watch. I appreciate all your thoughts and ideas that were put forth during our planning stages and was very satisfied with the outcome.



For anyone that missed it, we created our own story that was a combination of all of our favorite morals from our favorite stories we read this semester. The story that we acted out was of a young girl whose mother had recently passed away and whose father was slowly loosing his sight and needed more help from the daughter around the house. The young girl wanted nothing to do with growing up and gaining more responsibilities and at one point says out loud, "I would do anything to stay young forever". Then the young girl was visited by a stranger who offered her the opportunity of a life time. He offered her twenty four hours to decide between eternal youth and growing up only to end up as sad and lonely as her father. Later that night as the young child drifted to sleep she was awakened by a ghost, her mothers ghost, that brought her to a dark and scary place. Her mother's ghost brought her to a room where a child lay bound by chains that hid from the light. She explained to the child that if she decided to chose eternal youth that is where she would go, to be abused and tortured for eternity. She continued to explain to her how much her father needed her and how much she meant to him. The child then awoke in bed unsure if it was a dream or reality that showed her such a miserable place but either way she had to make her decision within hours. When the time came, she made the right decision to grow up and asked the stranger to leave and never come back. She returned to her father and told him that she decided she was ready to grow up and help him with whatever he needed.

In case you didn't get a sense of the stories we chose to incorporate here they are:
Peter Pan- the desire for eternal youth
The Cathedral- the blind father in need of guidance
OMELAS/Brothers K- the idea of eternal torture of a child
The Lottery- the inevitability of death and torture
and many many more!!!

Nice job team we rocked it!! :)
