Right now, I'm just a kid going through high school, taking life experiences on the way. In the future, I plan to still be myself and have my same level of creativity, if not more, but more professional. The professional part can wait though, for now. I hope that this class helps me have more courage and bravery than I have now, with the in-class performances and stuff. I also hope that more people can learn about me and who I really am.

1. Who is more important... the playwright or the cast and crew? Defend your assertion with your logic and some examples. 2. Also, how did your first performance in class go? What did it feel like before, during, and after?

In my opinion, the cast and crew are the most important. The cast and crew are the people who really make the play come to life and actually act it out, but the playwright is just the minds. You can always do improv if you have to. My first performance went really well to me! I wasn't really nervous or anything, and it was pretty fun.

Reflect on the process of writing your monologue this week:
1) How did you begin? Did you brainstorm, get struck by a spark of imagination, or begin with by recounting a personal story, etc?
2) Has thinking about objective and tactics aided in your writing of an interesting story? Give an example of a tactic your character is using...
3) What theatrical genre would you call your monologue at this point and why?

When I began thinking about my monologue, I was lost for words and didn't know what to write about. Then I started looking and listening around the class, and a lot of people were playing minecraft, so i decided to make mine about minecraft. Thinking about objectives and tactics didn't really help me to be honest, I just tried to get into the story as much as possible. I would call my monologue comedic, but also full of sorrow.

Reflect on your monologue performance. What it like in preparation and anticipation? What was your experience during the delivery of your monologue? What parts do you feel went really well. What parts so you know you'd want to improve upon? Also, what was it like being an audience for your peer's monologues?

Overall, I don't think my monologue performance went that bad. I wasn't really nervous at all, and although some performances were longer, I think my monologue lasted a good amount of time. I felt comfortable while I was speaking in front of everybody, but I also feel like I could've done better when I said the "THE CREEPERS" part. It was pretty cool seeing everyone else perform their own piece that they worked on too.
