Suggestions for Nan

Show these in the intro:
  1. Why did you choose these stories?
  2. Maybe have summary of the plot?
  3. What is the highlight of our production? Maybe more than just the music I think.
Acting parts that you would talk about:
  1. What did you do on stage to express how Lili feels?
  2. What role did you exactly do in the production? Not only as the actor but also….
  3. Can you indicate specific examples (act, scene)?
  4. What are your facial expressions? Indicate frowning, etc.
Under “Your adaptation”
  1. We did follow some plot. But we extended the story and we assumed Little Guy is the boy and dies, Guy killed himself for he sees no future, ect. We had a lot of personal visions.
  2. Point 3): you can talk about how we wanted Lili to be the night woman. You said you choose the story of Night Woman in the introduction, so you should talk about it even though in the final product we did not indicate it. Also you can mention how to improve our plot by better indicate the identity of Lili and how she would kill herself
  3. The meaning of French Lyrics and Why (But not too much on the meaning itself. Indicate the essential and focus on how you delivered the meaning.)
The parts you omit:
  1. “Use lots of terms and vocabs” What exactly the vocab you are going to use? Write them down so that you don’t waste time and cost fluency thinking of them while talking
  2. Que？cue？
  3. What do you mean by “refer to the blog post”? Write them down in docs maybe?
  4. “Improvement”: maybe you meant our progression and revisions? I think this is a good idea I need to indicate these in my presentation, too.
  5. Lili in our story is also controlling tho. She restricts most of the actions of Guy and Little Guy. That’s why both of them want to leave. But yes Lili did learned that restriction will turn her son away, she learned that from Guy. So she becomes soft to Little Guy at the end. She still tells Little Guy that “Don’t do anything dangerous.” She worries about him, but is still controlling as she uses a tone of command: “Don’t”
  6. Again for the Girl, be specific.

Overall well organized. Need more details. Connection between sections are weak? Maybe. Could type it into docs so you don’t have to find it on paper with suggestions floating around. Or maybe you prefer this way. But then you really have to fill some details to remind you which example you are going to use and which theater terms you will mention.

Romeo and Juliet's First Expression

The first time that Shakespeare introduces Romeo is by the conversation between Benvolio and Romeo. He is sad about the refusal from the Rosaline. The emotion is so strong that he frustrates himself and unwilling to interact with his friends and parents. Simply say, Romeo is too in love that his love is hurting himself: “ Griefs of my own lie heavy in my breast.” (Romeo and Juliet 21) Later on scene 4, he has worries that something bad will happen during the party and thus unwilling to go. The dialogues Romeo and Mercutio have implied that his anxiety comes from Romeo’s dream. However, it does not suggest the contents of the dream. Based on Romeo previous action about love, I think the dream is about him and Rosaline. He feels fear about meeting Rosaline in the party. Instead of solving the problem, as Benvolio and Mercutio suggest to examine other women, Romeo’s first expression is to escape and turn himself back into his comfort zone. Besides Romeo’s unrequited love and refusal to ...

MLML 8-10 notes

Chapter 8: This chapter talks about the journey of Desiree to the grand hotel. I think it not only notes how hard Desiree is on the way to her dream, but also a real state of the island. It was amazing how the author keeps our blinded as peasants in the beginning, not sure where we are. I was confused and scared at first with all the myths. And was blinded with peasants' one side argument about how widely the people on the island detach from each other. But through Desiree's journey, I finds that the trench between the poor and the rich are not as bad as I was imagining. There are different levels of the poor and the rich, Desiree is just unlucky to love the richest one. First I thought the story happens in a fantasy novel, with all the hierarchy and cruel king. I was wrong. It is a modern society, only that our main character comes from a forgotten no where. The narration of the journey thus makes the world of the story more wholistic. Looking the whole book, maybe the pea...
