adaptation proposal

1. what story or stories
- children of the sea & between the pool and the gardenias
2. why will it be interesting
- it will be interesting because i will combine Celienne and Marie's characters as one character. it will explain that she was on the boat and had a still born baby and threw it over board and relate that to why she is just in love with the dead baby that she sees on the ground in the street, and further relate these two stories.
3. Characters list
- Celianne/ Marie
- Pool cleaner
4. Directors vision
- The setting will take place during the pool and the gardenias and will briefly go back to explain the situation of her miscarriage to the pool cleaner
-Celianne will be her real name but she is called Marie so that she is not remembered as Celianne
- I want the audience to understand the connection between children of the sea and between the pool and the gardenias.
- Explain the reasoning for using a dead baby as a real one or a doll to carry around
- Explain how there is an emotional connection between her picking up the baby (might look just like her child of the sea).
- The focus will be on recreating a story about a woman who never had a living child of her own and wants to be able to feel that love and affection that comes with having a baby.
5. What aspects of the text/ literary analysis will you be hoping to highlight?
- I will be hoping to highlight the reasoning for Marie's decision and why she was so fond of getting rid of the baby. this is because she is traumatized by her past experience that no one knows about because she changed her name.
- Also in children of the sea Celianne is 15 and so she can explain that when she was 15 she cut her face with razors to become unrecognizable , and now she changed her name because they had healed.
- The pool cleaner will be the only one that knows about the story and ends up telling the police who she really is after telling them about the baby that she had buried.

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...
