Blog post due on how to best perform your scene to highlight the specific literary elements and analysis you have identified -- 300 words

After performing a rough draft of our play that we made I identified some thing I should try and show.  I have to show more emotion when playing the character, little guy in our performance.  I was to bland and showed an emotion that was not sad.  I really liked the way our act is performed.  I feel Jasmine and I have a lot of blocking and the scenes are very easy to understand.  I think we should include the separation piece from the start because moving it takes away time performing.  At times I should show happiness because I don’t know what happened to Dad and I didn’t know what moms job was.  I think Jasmine and I show many characteristics like caring, loving, sadness, and awareness of our surroundings.  My favorite part in our performance was when I gave my monologue about my mother and how I comprehend with her job.  This shows like a happy ending that concludes our ten minute performance.  I also think when I’m giving my monologue we should have the color as blue instead of beight yellow shingling on me.  Blue shows like a thriller type of feeling so it’s goes from blue to yellow because I want my mother to be safe and to make money.  It also spices up the act because it doesn’t stay the same stage light.  At times I felt like we were rushed to finish our lines and for the real performance we should take our time so the audience can understand us.  In the beginning , I think Jasmine should come up a little later after the (thump) and show the audience what has happened.  Before Jasmine standed on the side and think the body should be towards the audience not the side.  I look forward to performing the final act.
