My experience so far with doing these two monologues was very exciting yet nerve racking. It was pretty easy for me to memorize me lines and study the text and film to know how to act in my monologue but it was hard to stay in character the whole way and follow along with the script because I was so nervous. I created the character by using depression for rose and showing emotion by looking depressed and hurt because rose was really hurt by try's actions and she also was angered and depressed but I chose to use her depressed side more then her anger because I felt that the anger was all a result of how she truly felt which was hurt. What I felt I did well was stay in character the whole way and portray what I wanted to portray. What I think I can improve on is being more sentimental and louder. I also could have improved on memorizing my lines fluently so that I wasn't shaken up. I learned that it's hard to completely reenactment a character and their emotions so you have to put it in your own way. What I seen in my peers monologues was that some people gave a lot of emotion which made it better, and some people were very realistic which strengthened their monologues. Something else that I realized was that the voice of the character and the intonation that you give while performing is a good idea and it draws the audience in. Next time I preform I will try to add as many of the good things I seen in everyone's performance to make mine better.

The words that stick out to me with the sound are words like plums, icebox, delicious, sweet, and cold. I think mainly because they are feeling words and the writer probably wanted he reader to feel the words. Also in the beginning the first stanza of the poem when the writer says the plums that were in the icebox had stuck out to me because of the T sounds that I got from the poem. Also the last stanza when the writer says so sweet and so cold. The so was repeated twice to emphasize the amount of sweetness and coldness. Also the s sounds. The meaning of the poem is that whomever has eaten the plums did because of temptation and the writer is trying to have he reader feel that temptation. They didn’t really want to eat them I’m assuming but get were really hungry and they want whomever those plums were to understand the reasoning behind it. They also want to be forgiven for what they did. Some images that come to my head is like a cooler of some sort with plums in there. Only he plum...

Play review: The romeo and juliet play at the park was very interesting. We were all laid out comfortably on blankets on the grass. The play started at 8:00. It was the original shakespeare play but with a twist. It started off with the scene in the village, and then went into a scene with juliet and her mother . In between the scenes they played more modern day music which i thought was entertaining because it gave the play more of a modern feel. During the play there was singing a little through out but it was mostly a straight play. The costumes that the characters in the play wore were accurate to the time period of romeo and juliet. There was a scene in the play where they foreshadowed the death of juliet when she wore a white robe that both tybalt and mercutio wore when they died. Because the play was a romance tragedy, there were two or three scenes where romeo and juliet kissed. In the play they danced a lot as well, but to keep the play a little modern the actors were danci...
