Tartuffe 1.5
So Orgon and cleante start talking and joking around witch each other about Tartuffe, I constantly caught the sarcasm an the teasing, then things got very serious and Orgon finally explained why Tartuffe is even in the play. And cleante clearly thinks Tartuffe is just a hipocrit and is lying to Orgon.
They both have these huge monologues in this scene, all in rhyme of course, and it did take me a few tries to understand the basic meaning.which is driving me crazy that im not catching on to more, sooner!
But I see how strong everyone's opinions are about religion or clergy men specifically. Cleante goes off about clergy men for almost a full page. What I want toknow is what is tartuffe doing wrong? I get he's almost stealing from Orgon and using him, but Orgon is letting him. Why is everyone calling him a hypocrit against the church? WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL?

Today we had hspa, so I'm not sure if I write this or not?

Tartuffe 1.2-1.4
so the norton explains this thing called "french scenes" where some scene breaks in the script do not actually mean the changing of a scene, but when characters walk in or out. and the only thing listed are the characters that are on stage at that time. iguess thats slightly confusing to notice location changes, so i'm guessing that the whole play takes place in Orgon's house? im not sure yet.
I find it really funny how no one likes being around Pernelle, except for tartuffe himself apparently. but Tartuffe sounds like a complete ass. He's just mooching off of Orgon, and Orgon hangs on his every word and well being apparently. I still dont get why he's even there in the first place! Really serious question though, when Cleante and Dorine say Orgon is in love with Tartuffe are they serious? i feel like its a figure of speech, like he just respects Tartuffe and is around him a lot, but if he actually loves him that would make this way more interesting! Because first of all, clergy men aren't supposed to love anyone and ESPECIALLY not another guy. Bu then they say Pernelle is also "in love" with Tartuffe, and that Tartuffe is in love back? i'm just confused if this is ment to mean actual love or just like a respectful obsession.
and then finally Orgon comes home, and he really is obsessed with Tartuffe! His wife was seriously ill, and Dorine tries to tell him and all he says is "poor man!" and "ah, and Tartuffe?" i feel like that would be funny on stage, but just reading it, it sounds so cruel and rude to his wife who has waited for him to return. But Orgon's only care is Tartuffe!!
And Tartuffe hasn't had a line yet. I feel like he would have by now since the play is kind of centered around him right now.

Today i helped clear wood off the stage for the dance show. I also made the light plot and dimmer list. Which was confusing! i understood what to do and all, but flipping back and forth and writing the hotspot area then drawing the whole "beam" i guess. then once we got to the actual electrics it got harder, because half of the things jess hung are side light and two-fered.so i wrote the location of the light on the electric, and where the hotspot was and then tried to draw a plot, but it came out like poop.besides that! i went home and read tartuffe, and tried looking up websites to explain fuenteovajuna, because i want to make sure what i got from the play is correct and im not making things up in my mind.

Tartuffe 1.1
So my first impression of this play is wow rhyming.it's pretty crazy.the whole play has been translated and it still rhymes! Every line. It made it kind of hard to follow at first because I was caught on the rhyme pattern, but I re-read it and the rhyming made it easier to understand as it went on.
So basically what happened so far is this man Orgon and his family recently started living with a priest named Tartuffe. Orgon is married and has two kids,each with maids, so I'm guessing they're pretty rich. His mother Madame Pernelle comes for a visit and is quickly disgusted by the family's attitude about Tartuffe. The children and even the maids complain. Pernelle is clearly from a different time because she's angry with maids speaking out of turn and even orgons wife Elimire and how she runs the household.
I'm wondering if that will be an issue later on in the play. I also get the feeling that the children will some how disrespect either Tartuffe or Madame Pernelle. And I'm slightly confused as to why Tartuffe is there in the first place, it might have been explained but right now I didn't catch it.
Pg-100
Today I helped tech for nths. And I hope to be on that stage next year getting inducted. When I went home I read Tartuffe, and worked on some sequences for the film. Basically I drew out some in-between moments that I didn't draw in the storyboard because they're kind of "if we can do this" ideas.and I drew out some blocking I want to work over with Emily. And I looked up some songs if I end up using music at any point in the film.

Even though I wasn't completely there in class today, it's mostly because I feel kind of uncomfortable talking about health in class, on top of that we talked about colleges which is of course my FAVORITE topic. I'm going to try to be a bit more positive next week.I thought a lot about changing up the story board since our location has to be changed and slot of shots can stay the same just what is seen will be different.

Fuente 3.5 3.6 3.7
So the master returns! I don't really understand his place in the play. Because he's not a part of the commanders men, but he doesn't really live in fuenteovejuna either, s I'm not are where he belongs. But basically after hearing about the murder at fuenteovejuna he's determined to tell fernidand and isabel, and kill fuenteovejuna himself.
The townpeoples strength really surprises me. Not one of them cracked and they endured the pain. It's kind of crazy that such a large group like a whole town could stick together that well. I think even Laurencia and frondonso were surprised that fuenteovejuna held together like that. Because they were both worried about the "inquision" with the judge. But the townspeople eventually tire him out.
Then the townspeople go to Ferdinand and Isabel and plead their case, while the master pleads his case of just killing off the village. But ferdinand eventually forgives the village and frondonso and Laurencia stay in love. Their whole story I feel is either completely covered up by othe action of the play or is the full focus of the play, so it's nice to hear how they end.
Pg-100
Today I got to hear a read through with my actors, for the very first time. I'm happy with the sound of the screen play, even though I know that will change once the cameras on. I really tried to help with their character work, and to get them as a group of characters rather than individually working with them. They all have a very good dynamic wih each other and clearr opinions of the other kids in their class. Plus today we learned about film lights which I am very excited for, because they're completely different than stage lights. They're going to be used in a very close space so designing for that is completely different than I'm used to.

Fuente 3.3 and 3.4
So Flores told Ferdinand and Isabela about the commanders murder. One thing that really stuck out was the sheer brutality of how he was killed. First the men took care of him after he begged for mercy, then he was thrown down to the women who basically ripped his body apart. While I applaud them for goin through with it, that's a bit harsh I think. But then again they dealt with this guy for awhile. so I guess it was just time to take all their anger out.
Another thing I noticed in this scene was the rhyming. The translator mat have worked pretty hard to keep the rhyme scheme while translating. It actually made it a lit easier to understand and pay attention to. I felt that even with the huge monologue Flores has I was able to follow along way easier because of the rhymes.
Then in 3.4 the town starts to celebrate. They joke around about where to put his stuff and they're all happy to follow their "catholic kings". I actually think their idea of blameing all of fuenteovejuna was smart because how could you punish one man that way? Atleast they will all go down together as a town.
Pg-100
Today I deserve a 100 because I felt like I got the ball rolling on our screen play. Lea and I discussed final costumes and the story board. Miguel is working on the schedule and finishing the proposal. I'm getting big scared and excited for filming days. I feel like I have a good idea of what I want to see on screen and I'm determined to see that vision through. In like my own keeper of the vision!!!!!

Fuente 3.2
They raided the castle! I was honestly laughing while reading just at the irony. The commanders whole team doesn't worry about the villagers and they step all over them for so long, but then the villagers come to kick their asses! Even the women! Who are all bloodthirsty, especially Laurencia who goes to take someone down all by herself. I was surprised but not,because I kind of felt this coming; the townspeople have been pushed down for so long by this commander and the town is strong enough to band together like they did and kill him. Oh how the mighty have fallen.
Pg-100
Today we learned about the globe theatre. I took notes even though we didn't really have to. And I asked questions about the time period because I think it was really interesting how theatre kind of got started, or at least became the huge deal it was in London at the time. It's also interesting how it was so looked down on. And while it still is (just not AS extreme) it's crazy to think how far we have come in theatre land.

Fuente 3.1
It's official,I'm in love with this play.
Laurencia's speech to the men of the town was amazing. I was proud of her. After being raped on her wedding day,having her husband taken away from her,she still has this crazy power to lead the men of the town into action. She basically told all of them,since you didn't protect me why don't you just call yourselves women and do our work, and that the women would be better soldiers. I was pretty blown away, even though I had to read it twice to completely understand every word.
But on top of leading the men to action against the commander, she got the women to act too!! Which is crazy, because women would NEVER fight back then. I'm really excited to see what happens to the commander next, I just hope he gets what he deserves and that the villagers actually kill him.
Pg-100
Today I came prepared with my independent activity and my blacks. I think I'm getting slightly more open with repetition, and I'm trying to not care about others opinions especially because that's what usually screws me up. I got to do my independent activity today and I'm looking forward to trying again next week with added repetition.

2.3-the marriage of Laurencia and Frondonso! While all the celebrations are going on, the commander comes to break up the party. He comes to reprimand frondonso for defending Laurencia.
Honestly the commander is such an ass, just because Laurencia doesn't want him, and frondonso wanted to protect the girl he loves, the commander comes on their wedding day to kill him or throw him in jail! Then Esteban gets arrested for trying to reason with the commander. Though he did eventually insult him, but even still this commander is an ass, why wouldn't you insult him!! It's like a dirty cop, they get all the power of cops, but they sell drugs on the side or something. And even Laurencia gets arrested for tying to save her father in law. And the commander will probably try to get her to marry him or something soon.
This play is now really catching my interest. And in starting to understand everything a little better.

Today we had testing for sophomores, I got a 255 in math and a 239 in English. My math teacher told me anything above a 200-220 I think was good. So I'm happy with the yet scores. And Miguel found our janitors closet today that we will be filming in. I like it because it's really small but large enough to film in. Plus Lea and I discussed costumes a little bit more, and what we were both thinking for the story board.and I got honor roll this marking level and came one B away from high honor roll.

2.2 of fuente actually caught my attention. Mengo, Laurencia, and Pascuala were leaving fuenteovejuna? Is it because the commander was hitting on Laurencia, and kind of forced her into his house, or did I miss read that whole part? Then Jacinta comes in and is also trying to leave because the commander tried to take her as a whore too! Honestly who does this guy think he is, even if it is the time period and partly him using all his power as the commander, all this screwing women is a little ridiculous
And while his men are trying to take Jacinta to ciudad real, they beat Mengo just for trying to protect Jacinta!!! And she still gets taken away!!
But I guess there's some happy ending, Laurencia and Frondoso are going to get married, which is kind of weird since a few scenes ago they were debating whether or not love exists, and now they're proclaiming their love to each other. And I guess Frondoso is refusing the dowery? Which I thought was nice, like he has no other want or reason to marry Laurencia other than he loves her. At least that was my take on it.

Today we had our first history lesson in awhile. The time line really messed me up. Only because thinking of everything over lapping and trying to remember where everything happen is hard for me, but I love learning world history. I guess it's just finding that muscle. But I took notes and participated in the class discussion, and I'm actually looking forward to more theatre history, because we haven't had any history all year, even in academics, so its nice to get back into history lessons.

Still reading fuente. Honestly I'm kind if confused on what is happening. Most because I continually forget who everyone is. It's reminding me of cherry orchard since they both have a crap load of characters.
So in 2.1, the commander is kind of looking for girls if the town,and, I think trying to choose one for the day. Like they're just his play things. Which I think is such crap; just because he's a great military leader doesn't mean he's this god that can get any woman he wants, married or not. Then they all leave to fight in some battle? I'm kind of lost in exactly what happens in this scene.
Pg-100
I was looking forward to acting today, and I enjoyed starting Meisner again. I thought I eventually got back into some sort of grove with repetition. The stick is what got to me. Once you upped the stakes,I lost it. For some reason having extra credit dangled in my face for doing an impossible task, depressed the CRAP out of me. And I defiantly gave up. But I defiantly tried in class today. And I read once I came home. Plus I started thinking of what to do on our first production day, which I'm kind of scared for.
