I’m in the group with Grace, Stella and Denny and our group’s scene is about how Romeo is actually a psychopath and Juliet is just an imagined person. For this scene, I will be playing Romeo. At first when Romeo tells Lawrence that he is falling in love with a woman called Juliet, his emotion should be happy and satisfied. In order to portray this emotion, I should talk to Lawrence with smile on my face to show the joy and my voice should be soft and I should put my right hand on my heart which portrays a typical man-looking when they are in love. When I sees that Tybalt and Mercutio are fighting, my emotions should immediately change from joyful to angry. This change of emotion can be showed by using correct body language. For instance, I can hold my hands hard as if my fists are ready to fight and my body gets low as if I’m in a fighting position. These strategies are very effective because it can easily tell audience what kind of feelings you have in a simple way. When both Lawrence and Mercutio tell me that Juliet is a person who died ages ago, my face should show confusion. This can be showed by putting my hands on my head and grabbing my hair as if my brain is functioning quickly. 


In this performance, the most important thing, in my opinion, is the control of my emotion and how I can switch into a different emotion immediately, but at the meantime not overact it, since I need to make the play realistic. Also it is extremely important to have a good chemistry with other actors on stage, in order to show the correct relationships with each one of them.

sample question

While some poems focus exclusively on a personal or private experience, others reflect on the place of the individual in the larger human community. In the work of at least two poets, explore the ways in which poems have conveyed the poet’s sense of the world beyond the private sphere.  As an Arabic who is born in the United States and have a diverse family with a heavy sense of culture environment, Naomi Shihab Nye has lots of experiences that can reflect the idea that though people have different identities, they are still all humans no matter what. More specifically, in her poems ‘My father and the Fig Tree’ and ‘The words under the words’, she expresses the idea that all humans try to adapt to different environment, even though it can be difficult.  In the poem ‘The words under the words’ Naomi has a detailed description of her grandmother’s life in the U.S. After reading this poem, it appears to me that Naomi tries to emphasise the idea that humans can adapt in a...

MLML reading notes Chapter 3-5

Continue from the previous chapter, Desiree eventually finds a young man who is injured from the accident, whose name is Daniel. She sees a broken car, which at that time she had no idea what it is. To comfort Daniel, Desiree sings a song and then other peasants from the village appear. They bring Daniel back to their place and look after him. At the meantime, Desiree thinks that all this is fate, it is the will of God that brought this man to their place.
