pg-100
today we did view points.and i learned i can't be critical of myself.and that we have to be un-civilized to be actors.i'm scared now.i'm my number one critic,and now that we can't really do that.i might be lost at first.
but anyway,i participated today.i tried not to lead or have an ego.but i think i faultered alot.i can't help but laugh when we go group thought.i need to learn focus.once i think i have that,i think i'll be better with view points.
and thats why i want an A!!!!!!!!

six characters day 2!
so i think this is what going on with the 6 characters.
the mother.was with the father for sometime.untill she met his secretary.the father could see that she was un-happy with him so he sent her away with the secretary.
while with the secretary.the mother had a child,the step daughter.
the father kept their one child the son.and these two began to drift apart and butt heads.
then the father became curious of his wife's new family.
so he (for lack of a better word)stalked the step daughter.the way she describes it.he sounds like a petifile to me.is that the conflict going on between them?the reason for their tension together?
but when this new father died.they were poor so the mother came back to the town where the father lived.
the mother then took a job.where the owner and her boss was "after" her daughter in some way.
i'm confussed to say the least.they seem to be talking about things while skipping over others.where did the last two children come from?what happend with the father and step daughter?what is up with the son?is this an affair?or simply another relationship?when will the other actors on stage be brought in?or are they there for "Decoration?".
confussed.questioning.i'm trying to read into it more,to try and grasp whats going on,but i can't.
pg-100
so today we helped the seniors read.i'm really excited for mainstage.but today.i took notes in class.i asked you about the monologues,which i'm working on.i looked them up online,but i guess they're not there,you have to buy them.so i need a trip to barnes and noble.
anyways.i read with kaitlin today.i felt it was ok,though i know it wasn't my best.even though it was for kaitlins sake,i wish i colud have done better.
so i tried!that why i deserve a 100.

six characters in search of an author day 1
so today i began reading six characters.
i get the idea of it.there is supposed to be a play/show begin put on with in the show.i think its funny how the author has one of his own novels being put on as a show,with in his show.its also humerous how he almost makes fun of himself.saying how"they were reduced to to producing plays by pirandello..but neither the actors or critics,nor the audiance are ever happy with his plays..."
i'm curious how the six characters look.in the stage directions they say the characters should have masks on.i don't understand why.to show that they are blank canvases?or to say they can be whatever character nessesary?but that would be un-true.becuase they state that they are characters.not actors.so they have a perminant face and expression?maybe its just to keep their situation or personalities or characters general,like they could be anyone.
i'm also really curious as to what will happen.what did these 6 characters go through?what will the "leading lady" do?will she steal the spotlight?will the whole play be them in rehersal?or will it be at real time,going minute by minute,rather than saying "the next day something else happened..."?and why do all the "characters" have such distinct looks and personalities and feelings?
we'll see what happens.

monologues!
1st monologue.
title:angry writing kills.
character name:megan
megan:anger takes over you when you write.when you write you might think things over.but when your angry,you don't think.thinking is the furthest thing on your mind.you curse,scream,your hand writing becomes sloppy,you become so focused on your writing,the world could be ending and you wouldn't know.
and then you get the cramp.that pain in your hand that won't go away.
now byt his point,your angrywriting has gotten so intense.all you know is the paper,your pen,and the words.so when you notice your hand,your so intent on writing you ignore it.and keep ignoring it,untill the pain has elevated to your breaking point.you throw down your pen and you try to relax your hand.finally by the time your hand feels better,you forgot what you were writing about in the first place.
2nd monologue
title:super mass of brain-ages and stuff.
charcater name:samantha
so writing can be hard.and painfull i guess.but what about thinking?thinking can be just as bad.my mind is a complete super mass of brain-ages.and stuff.its crazy!the teenage mind today is always a overcrowed place for evey moment of every day to replay until its over analized,then re-over analized.
sure adults have alot on their minds too,but they have a life time to perfect there over thinking.like a fileing cabinet.kids have a moments notice to get there thoughts in order!why?because society asks too much of us.you know?like we have to look happy and pretty for adults,or friends,peers,the opposite sex!plus and school work,chores,homwork,extra classes,that boy that sits next to you who runs around the track field with no shirt.(dreamy pause).its just enough to make you go mad!so writing clears your head of one thing,but what about the shirt you can't find,that you left under your bed,or that history report due,or the fact that gossip girl is on and your missing it to go to dance practice.and while your at it!you have to do all this with a smile on your face before someone calls you emo!but not too happy because then your weird!and tell your parents about the day they want to hear not the day you had!its just too much!i can't even breathe with out thinking!and by the way,do you think that boy who sits two seats down from me in science has a girlfriend?

2.thesis
3.read 6 charaters in search of an author
4.keep better track of my blogging
5.remember not to do these for hours at a time.
i always pick the worst time to blog.always at night.when people are on facbook and i want to check it every 5 seconds but i can't because if i do it will get me off track.
besides books being drugs,facebook is too.
by then i realise that i still have to blog.so i come back and lose my train of thought.so i need to plan this better.
ok.reading for today.eclipse again.monday i'll being the next play,or friday.but its easier on monday to blog about it.eclipse is getting down to the wire.bella's freaking out.so edwards freaking out.bella has a stalker,so she freaks more.its just one problem on top of the next.its quite ointeresting.then jacob comes in to play with his werewolf-ness.so its just very funny.
what is 6 characters even about?i have to look that up.it sounds interesting.i'm excited.
pg-100
today,i did my realism.which i thought went well.i wasn't sure about the hair thing.that felt really natural.but i guess it was performance-y.and i guess i fed myself to the sharks when i did repatition.i was so confused!i thought i had it.then i guess i didn't.havi kept making me laugh i dont know why.and i kept responding.but i'll get better.just i dont think i want to practice with the seniors anymore.they scared me how good they were!like how do you repete that so much,and when can you change repeting?but i did understand the wall.the defensiveness.i'm really defensive.so i can toally see that.

wednesday!here at last!
it's wednesday!hooray!half way through the week!
i have nothing to write about again.
i want to continue my reading of hedda gabler.but i'm getting side tracked.
eclipse for instance.i'm getting re-hooked.twilight is like a drug for young girls like me i guess.i read it,obsessed over it.stopped once i finshed the last book the 3rd time.now that the movie is coming out.i relapsed.i thought i could live without twilight!but sadly no.i'm getting re-obsessed.
yes.books can be like drugs.
now i'm worring about monologues again.were going to write our own in my other class.which is scaring me.writing is definatly not one of my strong points unless i feel like super inspired.which doesn't happen often.
and i still have to write that other one for this class.which is going to be crap i'm sure.
oh monologues.how i ditest thee.oh well.
so back to reading.i have to pick up hedda gabler again.i'm going to start forgetting it.and i dropped one of my books.should i drop hedda and go on to our next play?i'm not sure.i definatly can't do both.maybe i'll pick hedda back up later on.

tuesday.the most pointless day of the week!
tuesday is here!
i wish it was wednesday!
yay!
so...
i have continued with my reading of eclipse.it getting to the point where bella gets kidnapped by her boyfriends adopted sister.
but i need to think about more important matters.i really need that thesis.
so i present michelle lane's random thesis thoughts!
nora's standing up to helmer:womens revolution!
nora,more than what you see.
nora!she stupid,odd,different,yet i think she's great!
nora's wearing the pants now helmer!
helmer-a master of dolls,untill they master you!
helmer;in it for love or the prize?
helmer,perfect for him.not for her.
helmer=mr.mom!change of life.
christine's motives.
krogstad's true feelings and the meaning behind his actions?
rank,admirer of a toy store,or a toy himself?
everyone's obsession with being perfect on the outside,what going on inside?
oviously these are not my real thesises(thesi?)just funny brain storming ideas.this thesis is going to scare the living crap out of me.because,i will mess it up.so badly.because what if there's a sorce i miss?that could have had a valuable point to make.then my whole thesis is blown apart by that one point i didn't cover.
i'm a lawyer at heart.but i feel un-prepared.
and now my computer is inserting an extra space when i press enter....grr.
tuesday is always such a wasteful day.its so pointless!you've just realised that the week has begun.monday's your day to wake up.tuesday your pilled apon with work you don't want because you were in a daze on monday.so now you play catch up.get into everything,with no transition.its like you have an alarm that was on snooze.and now it screams wake up!its time for tuesday!
and tuesday always goes so slow.it just drags.like your waiting for something.untill you realise nothing's there to look forward to.so your waiting for the next day to come and bring something to look forward to for real.
at least thats how i feel today.so as i write this in my little notbook.i say curse you tuesday.
curse you.
pg-100(note:now that i'm posting this on thursday,i know it won't be counted i just really like wrighting these,they keep me on track with what we did,when we did it.so if this ends up counting,thank you,if not.i'll just take the 75.)
tuesday!we wrote our goals today.which i did.and i drew a tree!it looked kinda cool.but i wish it was better.my goals were to find a cool nickname.get good grades(atleast a's and b's).and end this year on a happy note.i'm going to miss my old friends.and i might go crazy without them and be super confussed.but i really want this year to end up good.
we also wrote letters to our parents explaining our goals.i wrote one.it wasn't the best.but i know if my mom really wanted to know how to help i could tell her better live than in a letter.
we also saw our headshots!!!!i liked mine.it was ok.i was wondering if it was possible to get a copy of that.i wanted to show my other acting teacher/singing and dance teacher.even if its through an email or something.if not then its fine.
so thats why i deserve a 100 for tuesday!
i wish it was wednesday!
yay!

participation,before my parents tell me to get off the computer.
pg-100.
today.i remembered my blacks.i did well with the sun salutations.i worked on those streches.the cobra one is really weird.
note to self-work on pose....
i participated in the movement exercise today.even though i messed up alot,i kept trying.there were times though,when i messed up the cycle.like i forgot one flex of the hand.
note to self-work on memory.
i'm excited/nervous for the realism tomorrow.i hate packing up my room though.because when i take stuff it looks less messy,then when i bring it all home i'm sad becuase its still a mess.i'm still thinking about my monologue of choice.i've inlisted my other acting teacher for second opinions too.plus she has some kinowledge of plays.at least more than i do, so hopefully that will widen my herizon.
so thats why i deserve a hundred!!!!

blehhhh.i'm so confused.
mondays.how i hate thee.
i wish it was sunday again.i need more sleep.
i have no idea what to write about.
lalalalalalalalalalalalalala.
i'm confussed about the whole reading.when we finish a play are we supposed to go on to the next one or do you want us to wait for the whole class?because i'm reading like 5 stories at once,and i want to figure out what to give up before we start the play.
i hated headshots today.i'm spo un-photogenic.i hate pictures.i look so bad in them.and i listened to what the seniors said and i tried,but i can never take good pictures.grrrr.
i strongly despise headshots.very strongly.
i started reading eclipse today.yes its one of the vampire books.but its the story.not the whole vampire-is-so-cute-and-oh-my-god-i-will-marry-him! thing.
along with that i'm still reading hedda gabler(i think thats how you spell it...i'm so bad with spelling)and sloppy firsts.and eclipse.but i still have to write that monlogue.which by the way will probably be a hot mess.and i have to start looking for a monologue.i'm so bad with picking them out.and memorizing.and auditions.
but i need to do this!suck it up and do it.

what do you feel about me taking a 10 minute monlouge, and cutting it down?bad idea?i think so.
pg-100.
so monday is here.monday is gone.we didn't do a whole lot today.but i read and wrote.i tried to stay quiet.i tried with the headshots.i really hope people don't just say they look good.i really need the honest truth with those.
i'm going to work on that monologue.finding one and writing one.i need to find like 20,try them all.and find a really good one.i'm going to do it.
today went well in general.i really want thursady to come.i want to do my realism!come on thursady!
but i guess that means i have to pack up my room again.
*sigh*=]
Thursday, September 17, 2009
you know your a theatre kid when you carry your room around in a suitcase on thursdays.
today i began my reading of hedda gabler.i was confused.i'm trying to get it.but i dont really want to talk about it untill i really understand whats going on.so maybe tomorrow.
so.i read that for about ten minutes.untill i had to give up.then i read the book sloppy first for about the 5th time.god i just love that book.the main character is such a pesimist.and is extreamly sarcastic.i love her view of the world that is so true and sarcastic,with little to no care.she's different and is an explosion thats waiting to happen.
note to self:go to barns and noble for the fifth book
i really need more books.i love plays and all,but some times the stage directions and settings and even the dialoge just confuses me.
but i just realised.the norton anthology book has 35 plays!!!this thing is huge! it even has a little backround in the begining,which i'm debating on reading becuase its really long,and it might be overly confusing.but it is talking about everything were talking about in class.
but i feel so stupid for not knowing about any of this.i had no idea who isben was before class began.or that there were types of drama,like romatisism,or realism, or any isms.i didn't think that history would be something we had to know,but aparently it is.
i have to write a monologue,and i'm reading my soc tomorrow(if there is one tomorrow.)i strongly dislike writing.here its fine.the socs,not so bad.but monologues!i tried to write many before,but i never could.they were either,shallow,pointless,sounded like something a 5 year old could do better,or just sounded like me talking,which isn't a monologue,becuase half the time it doesn't make sense!
i love fridays,but at the same time.i hate them.
i mean i've taken creative writing and acting.but the classes have always been mixed with younger kids at different skill levels.so its fun.but never very educational.maybe we would write,but it was never anything important.it would be,what inspires you,or write a poem about flowers for spring.i thought it was making me better.but i dont think it ever did help with anything besides my creativity.
i really hope i can work on writing this year.not just for theatre,but english,and science,and history.i just want to get better.
well.time is up.here goes the pg.
pg-100
today was really interesting with the senior's realism.i don't think i could ever do it as calmly as they did.i was so excited today for realism.but sadly i dragged half my room around for nothing.but there is always next week!just think calm.realistic.and i have to bring more stuff.maybe i'll just perminatly have a suit case that carries around my room at a moments notice.
but reasons for 100 today!
i was respectful of the seniors
i payied attention to their styles.
i thought about what i can do to be like them.
i brought half my room!
i asked questions about next weeks assainment.which is sure to be a hot mess for me......
WAIT!positive thinking!
i'm going to try my best!
and thats why i think i deserve a 100.=]
so.i read that for about ten minutes.untill i had to give up.then i read the book sloppy first for about the 5th time.god i just love that book.the main character is such a pesimist.and is extreamly sarcastic.i love her view of the world that is so true and sarcastic,with little to no care.she's different and is an explosion thats waiting to happen.
note to self:go to barns and noble for the fifth book
i really need more books.i love plays and all,but some times the stage directions and settings and even the dialoge just confuses me.
but i just realised.the norton anthology book has 35 plays!!!this thing is huge! it even has a little backround in the begining,which i'm debating on reading becuase its really long,and it might be overly confusing.but it is talking about everything were talking about in class.
but i feel so stupid for not knowing about any of this.i had no idea who isben was before class began.or that there were types of drama,like romatisism,or realism, or any isms.i didn't think that history would be something we had to know,but aparently it is.
i have to write a monologue,and i'm reading my soc tomorrow(if there is one tomorrow.)i strongly dislike writing.here its fine.the socs,not so bad.but monologues!i tried to write many before,but i never could.they were either,shallow,pointless,sounded like something a 5 year old could do better,or just sounded like me talking,which isn't a monologue,becuase half the time it doesn't make sense!
i love fridays,but at the same time.i hate them.
i mean i've taken creative writing and acting.but the classes have always been mixed with younger kids at different skill levels.so its fun.but never very educational.maybe we would write,but it was never anything important.it would be,what inspires you,or write a poem about flowers for spring.i thought it was making me better.but i dont think it ever did help with anything besides my creativity.
i really hope i can work on writing this year.not just for theatre,but english,and science,and history.i just want to get better.
well.time is up.here goes the pg.
pg-100
today was really interesting with the senior's realism.i don't think i could ever do it as calmly as they did.i was so excited today for realism.but sadly i dragged half my room around for nothing.but there is always next week!just think calm.realistic.and i have to bring more stuff.maybe i'll just perminatly have a suit case that carries around my room at a moments notice.
but reasons for 100 today!
i was respectful of the seniors
i payied attention to their styles.
i thought about what i can do to be like them.

go mini-freshman techies!!!!!!!!
lalalalala.a doll's house is all done.are we going to read anything else by ibsen because i really want to read the norton anthology book,BECAUSE it has more ibsen.
what about that thesis paper?i'm so scared.i have to do it.but i have no clue in the slightest what to do it on.so i must think!!!!lets begin that with some final thoughts.
thoughts...i might have gone a bit over board with how great the play was but i did really like it.nora was so brave,i might not have her guts on second thought.especially at that time.i really want to know what happened to christine and krogstad,what happened those 8 years ago that we don't know about yet.what about rank?the kids?helmer?so many questions.if only there was a sequal.
a doll's house two!-mr.mom!
helmer begins on stage in an aprin and work clothes.the kids can be heard in the next room.the maid is not there,but there is a knock at the door.
helmer-(walking to the door)yes?
voice-(hushed)would you please open the door?
helmer-who is there?
voice-it is nora!
(the door is forced open.helmer stands in shock,nora is seen drapped in expensive clothes,jewels,with a small boy behind her carring bags.)
nora-all presents!
helmer-where have you been?what have you done?
nora-i married a rich fellow,and now look at me!
helmer-what?
nora-yeshe saw me walking along the street,and asked right there willl you marry me?
i'm just kidding...that was stupid.i cant write.but it would be super funny if there was a doll's house 2 that was totally self centered with no meaning.it would suck.but be funny.at least for a bit.then who ever wrote it should probably be killed.or sued.or thrown in jail.something!
i really shouldn't go on face book while doing these blogs.i always get ditracted.
focus.
facebook.bye-bye.
writinggggg timee!
i need more books to read.i'm re=reading like my whole library of books i have already re-read.to barns and noble!or i should start a play, but i really want to know all the plays were reading. you might have told us,but i totally blanked.anyway.i believe i'm all done.i have nothing more to say.zip.nada.zero.bye-bye blogger.com.
pg.-100
the purpose of the evil participation grades has been discovered!i guess i need help with these,because all of mine are like semi-compliments,like a did this good,but really i suck.
but here we go with positive thinking!
today.catwalk.so much fun i wish i could live up there.i was the first one to go up.very exciting!!!!!i came down correctly.i learned how the light board works,thouggh i personally believe it should be hidden from me,because i most likely will break it.i helped lift the ladder,and i learned first how matt foots it,then the correct way(thanks matt).but climbing the ladder was fun,the lights was scary.i'm so afraid of burning myself.i want to be a techie,but i the stage too much!

and my third post of the night is........!
totally forgot about the homework.
but here it is!
1.i believe that art should show evil triumphant at times.when good wins out every time it gets boring,you get tired of it,you stop being interested.how many romantic comedys have you seen where the main characters don't end up falling back in love at the end?when their lives dont work out perfectly?few to none.also, to be realistic,you have to know,good doesn't always win,good rarely wins in some cases.often in the real world tragitys happen,millions are killed,and what goodness comes out of it?do the people responsable always go to jail,no.to show the public realism you have to tell them that the world isn't happiness and unicorns,its real its harsh,it's terrible,but you have to live with it.
2.yes,art should be seen as is.society should see that horrible things happen.even if the good guy needs to kill thousands to come out good,then society has the right to know and to see it.it should get a point accross, and make a statement.it might upset you,it might discust you,it might scare you,but if you learn something,then art did its job.if something sticks with you untill the day you die,then it was something worth knowing,worth seeing,just worth it.
should there be censorship?perhapse,should that hold the artist back from proving something?absolutly not.i know this may sound byist,but an artist does need to play to a crowd anyway they can.if they get thier point accross then that was their jo,and they did it.
so yes society should see the truth no matter what,but often times it does have to conform slightly to what the society wants to see.
but here it is!

the knock at the door...tuesdays post.
why didnt anyone tell me how great this play would be???????
it seems like every post i like a different character,i used to hate nora,shes dumb,pointless,"blonde",and all that.
but now!
nora impressed me.she stood up just as i felt i would.she told helmer exactly what was on her mind.and i'm so blown away with what happened.i feel like what nora said was the change of romantisism to realism.she said to her HUSBAND,not her signifigant other,her HUSBAND the man that was conducting her like a marionette,that SHE did something to support the family,and that SHE had her own belifes different from what har FATHER and her HUSBAND had.these were the men that controlled her,and taught her what to believe with out making her smart enough to undersatnd.SHE stood up to the people who pushed her down and toyed with her all her life and said no.
she even addressed religion!the romantisism era was all about the belief in god in religion for all the things that didn't make sense,but the point came when nora said,lets get real.is this all true?she went from the fantasy to reality.
and the love!the man was alwats in control of the marrige or relationship.he had the right to say,i hate you i love you no more.never the women.it was her job to accept love when it was given, and to live with out it when it wasn't.but nora told helmer.no.after the way you've treated me,i no longer love you.
nora was never happy.even though she had everything to be happy about.but i see how she can be hurt by that fact,she never wanted to be the little song bird that helmer thought of her as.she wanted to be equivilant to helmer.unfortunatly it just wasn't her time.
but i nwas so proud of her and how she gave back all his possesions,and kept only what she had to her name.nothing was given to her.it was waht she had.
now for helmer.helmer just switched his role through the final coversation,he was once hating nora,then accepting her and trying to cover up her mistakes,and finally he began to beg.which is seen as such a womenly thing to do.the man is supposed to be strong,the woman just a little perfect doll.but i love how at the very end.nora almost "wears the pants" and takes off,leaving helmer to cry,and be depressed like a woman should when a man leaves.did helmer deserve this for one moment of anger about something that shouldn't occur?no most likely not,but it happened.nora most likely won't come back.and that is the real story.helmer will be left alone.and he won't win back his little skylark.
pg-100
can we have debates every day?????i loved it.just an open discussion.maybe its me,because i love speaking my mind.but it was so fun and educational.i felt like i did well today,becuase i made points during the lesson(another gold star!!!!=]),and i did have alot to say during todays debate.i had my point, i stuck to it.maybe some of the things i said out loud were "wrong" but i spoke up,and i spoke my mind whether it made sense or not,that was one of the most fun times in any of my classes this year.

fight night after the party!-monday's post
so nora has been discovered.after eight happy years,her world comes crashing down.
does helmer have the right to freak out like he did?absolutely!i stand by my idea that nora should have told him when they needed money,instead of forming a mass of lies.maybe it wasn't the time,and women didn't do things like that,but if she loved him as much as she says and if he loved her as much as he says,then it wouldn't or shouldn't have mattered!
also rank is scary.i strongly dislike his idea of his death.and how calmly his friends are taking it.maybe they're just laughing it off,but still i would be worried personally...maybe thats just me.
christine was also odd,was she trying to help nora by advising her to tell helmer or was she plotting against her.will christines past come out?after being dear friends with nora why now would she try to ruin her and her marrige?and what will happen between christine and krogstad?
but back to nora.just some questions...
what did she mean by 31 hours to live?
why didn't she run sooner?
and if she's a feministic character,why wont she follow through with her ideals?i know that im slightly feministic,and if i were in noras time and did what she did,i would stand by it.no matter what trouble i would get in.sure i would end up running,but she seems to regret what she did,i wouldn't!i would stand my ground.
the question now is,who is at the door so late at night????????untill tomorrow,i'll have to wait.
pg-100
monday was really cool.though,i need to work on my center position,its not quite confertable yet,and with the corrections everyone gave me i think i have it to the point where its not forced and its almost natural.but the downward dog,and the serpant warm up,was fun.i really felt more relaxed,and confertable with the stage.i felt like if i made a mistake it wouldn't have mattered.though my breathing was a mess.the "working as one" group exercise i felt went well.i wanted to lead,but i tried to hold back and just let it happen.on monday i just relaxed and learned alot.

doll's house day 3!!!!(i learned there was a title box)
this is supposed to be from thursady....
oh boy am i confused.maybe its me.maybe its the translation.i'm just not sure.but from what i got,krogstad is a very serious person.he's like the evil villian who will truely stop at nothing to get what he wants.he's prepared to potentially break up a marrige just for a position in a bank?i think he should just let nora pay her dues,and move on.he just can't accept the fact that he is fired.done.has to move on.
but in reality nora should just suck up her pride and tell helmer!i can see now how she is a feminist character,she just has to do everything on her own.but what she said at the end of act one,scared me.31 hours to live.is she that desperate for helmer not to know about her borrowing money that she will commit suiced?either she really is as dumb or even dumber than she seems,or something extremely drasic is going to occur.how would her death affect helmer?he cares about her so much it seems,almost like she wears the pants in the realationship because he will do anything for nora.and really her secret would come out right then,because without nora to go through krogstad can tell helmer what ever he wants to.but that was only act 1!!!!!!
what is going on between krogstad and christine?!?!?!!!!!
holy crap.i did not see that coming.i thought they hated each other from something that had happened before in life.but what happend??they're in love???since when!but now this might shed some light on what happened those 10 years christine was gone.what happened even before that?
"a woman who sold herself for another's sake doesn't do it a second time" does this mean christine has taken the fall for nora before?it wouldn't surprise me.BUT by telling krogstad to let the letter be,let helmer find out surprised me.what ever nora did to christine,thats still harsh,its like ripping down the set of someones perfect little world.i dont know, but i like christine so far ,backstabbing or not.(end page 119)
thursday pg-89 b.
friday pg-100
friday i started talking in class!yay!and just when you thought i lost all power to speak.i contributed to the class discussion of the evils of bibliographys(spelling...?)and thesis papers.i took good notes!bibliographies look a little less scary and annoying.i wrote a good soc even though i didnt read..(i will next time!i swear!)and i got 2 gold stars!even though i took an answer away from havi=).(spelling.most likely wrong)
hopefully its enough?if not then i tried!

a doll's house day 2
ok.so nora might not be in as much contol over her lies as i thought.i feel that she will tell everyone her big secret soon,becuase she seems like a blabber mouth.and although it was smart of her to come up with the whole plan for the trip,she made careless mistakes.she should have told her husband in the first place,whether he would have listened or not.
helmer though,is surprising me.i thought he would have given his right arm away if nora asked, but he does have a mind of his own.i give him alot of credit for choosing to take krogstad's job away and give it to christine.but its ironic how he talked about krogstad, and how it basically hit nora's true thoughts right on the head.that is another reason why i think nora will spill her secrets soon.
i used to like nora for her brains but now i feel like she really is stupid.she just keeps blabbing.she has to learn how to keep it inside.its just very frustrating how "blonde"she can be!she was even blind to dr.ranks feelings toward her!like anyone can see when someone else is interested in them.its not hard to tell,especially when they see them everyday.like she does.
dr.rank seems creepy.how he's predicting his death.i think it might just be so nora will notice him and hopefully see that she likes him,or something like that.whats even weirder is that he doesn't want helmer to be near his death bed,just nora,when helmer and dr.rank are closer friends.i think its so rank will see nora more and can admire her more.
the strangest thing is how everyone is coming out with secrets at this time,all towards the begining,what drama could lie ahead for this play?what i want to know is if christine will play a bigger part in the drama,becuase now she just seems like a secondary character;never in the"drama"just around it.almost like a connecting character,what she says brings the seperate aspects of the play together.but i want to learn more about christine.
WAIT!!!!-maybe she''l be the one nora confides in,and becuase nora is the center of the drama;keeping secrats from helmer,paying of krogstad,and now knowing about dr.ranks affections,christine will be the one to crack under pressure.causeing everyone to turn against her!but that would be more of a "masculan" play....
i'm not really sure what to think yet.i'm waiting for something huge to just unravel.it would give me more insight into the play...

WAIT!!!!-maybe she''l be the one nora confides in,and becuase nora is the center of the drama;keeping secrats from helmer,paying of krogstad,and now knowing about dr.ranks affections,christine will be the one to crack under pressure.causeing everyone to turn against her!but that would be more of a "masculan" play....
i'm not really sure what to think yet.i'm waiting for something huge to just unravel.it would give me more insight into the play...

this whole blog is for theatre class.
okay.this is for mcvts theatre class.
mrs.aladren, i don't have constant access to the Internet.i will read and write every day,but posting them here may be difficult.i'm not sure if i can post everyday,but i will try!
anyway.....
a doll's house-day 1.
so after reading today in class as well as at home, i see that Nora isn't as much of an airhead as i thought in the beginning.she actually has a whole life no one is really aware of,but i feel that later on her secrets will come out.Christine won;t keep them locked up for too long.and seeing as though Christine and Mr.Krogstad have history together it will be the cause of more drama along with Nora's secrets.
Nora also seems to have history with mr.krogstad.maybe he's the one who lent her the money for the family's trip to Italy.now he's here to cause problems for both of the girls.
i feel like Nora has the whole group fooled with her calmness,especially her husband.some people know her secrets,but only bits and pieces.when Helmer hears about anything,perhaps any problems he has had will surface.i don't know if they had divorces back then,but if they did,Nora's and Helmer's marriage might not survive.
i feel bad for Helmer because he has a whole outlook on his wife but he's completely wrong.I'm sure he even thinks of her as a "dumb blond" and he may have a whole alfa-male persona because he knows what he's come from.how he rarely borrows money and if he does he will repay it.its all about him in his mind,he supports the family,but it's actually put on both his and Nora's shoulders.without Nora paying for the trip to Italy,he might not be around to support the family.but without him supporting the family,Nora wouldn't be able to pay off her debts,because she uses the money he gives her.so the power is split in Nora's mind,but in Helmer's its all his doing.i can't wait to see how that will work out in the end.(end page mid 45)
