Frank Vernon is the pen amongst pencils you see here in the picture above. One of the reasons why he is the only pen, is because he has stuck to his job and his friendship to Logan and the Roy family for over thirty years, while the other people in his world keep constantly changing their minds and their motives. A pencil you can whittle away at until it is merely not there anymore, and that is what the Roy family is on the verge of doing this entire show, but Frank always seems to be a kind of safety and security among the ever changing lives of the Roy clan.

It was really interesting to listen to someone talk about why they think people cry, specifically for this instance as well. I am Jewish and at first when I heard a musical of Anne Frank's life, I thought it was a terrible idea, but after hearing how the audience reacted and how well it went, I may have sort of a changed perspective on the matter. I also was intrigued to hear that the reason people cry is not because it is good or emotional, but because it is specific. Anne Frank was a real person who actually went through these horrendous experiences. When the woman Natasha sang about a ten year old girl, she envisioned her own daughter who is around the same age. I saw To Kill a Mockingbird over this weekend and the woman who played Scout who is supposedly around eight years old, is actually forty three. She did an amazing job at portraying the youngness and naivety of a little girl, and even won multiple awards for it including a Tony. This just shows that the more specific and authentic you make your behavior and circumstances as a character, the better you will be as an actor too.

I came to help Logan out with some legal advice about thirty years ago now, and simply could not get the courage to up and leave. I have worked my ass off to be a part of this family and to get the respect and support I do, so having me be even a candidate to go to prison for the Roy family, is not far fetched, but still hits the gut. On one hand, they value me enough to see me as a threat in the media, but on the other hand, I cannot go to prison. I go with them everywhere and am a huge part of their lives, as they are of mine, but I feel like I am not a heard voice amongst the loud and rowdy clan of people, so having Roman already dislike me and being moody, this could not go so well for me. Hopefully I will be able to get a complete sentence or thought in soon.

Annette is the shorter stack of rocks that seems to be less than the larger pile of rocks, in this case Alan the big shot lawyer who does not have time for these little altercations. This is deceiving, as Alan looks like he has more authority and superiority as he is the taller stack of rocks, but in reality, Annette is there to give him space but also to balance out his crazy work life. As we see, the taller stack of rocks would clearly fall over if not balanced by the shorter stack, and thus, even though on the outside Alan may look more authoritative, the balance and shyness of Annette is what makes the relationship work.

This is a clip of Fantine singing her famous song from the Les Miserables sound track, I Dreamed A Dream. This is such an amazing performance for Anne Hathaway, as she really shows off her incredible range of both singing and emotion, but besides that, it also shows status in a really grounded way. Fantine is a very poor person who has a child to take care of and raise alone, and has to cut off her luscious hair, become a prostitute, and many other horrible and inhumane things to give her money, that eventually caused her death. She is so desperate for money, that she risks it all, including herself and her life, but regardless of how low she is on money, her status will never make her do anything to put her daughter in jeopardy, and that shows major character and commitment.

A Moment of Orientation for Harry Potter

# data[].attributes.body
Start from about 2:25

I decided to choose this scene from Harry Potter, as it is to me and to Harry, the moment we realize he is actually a wizard and belongs in this intense world of diagon alley and Hogwarts. Even the man who works at Ollivander's (the wand shop), has a moment or orientation or realization that this is a very important wizard, not only for having the famous name of Harry Potter, but also because the only other wand of this sort was given to Harry's family's mortal nemesis who tried and failed to kill him. Moments of orientation do not have to be between a person and another person, and as we can clearly see here, the object being presented creates quite a strong moment of orientation for both characters in the scene.

This is a very tough question, as I am an American citizen and love the life I have here, but also constantly feel like an outsider and that I do not belong. In addition to being a potentially beautiful place to reside in, America is also completely corrupt and giving free handouts that make it seem like "the dream", when in reality there is so much wrong with today's America. America is all about making profit no matter the cost, and even goes as far as to alienate people from their religions, homes, cultures, and more. All of this being said, America has a lot of growing to do, and to me, it is a country of potential for good, but not a promised land in the slightest.

I agree with this Elliot. Making a profit and greed have had too high of an impact on our country. I also agree that America has potential, and I hope to see it reach this potential. Yet, I agree that there is a ton of work that will need to go into it.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

I chose this specific text, as I love reading poems and this one by Frost is an extremely well-known and like-able writing that any person can easily see the rhythm in. This poem is moving and the rhyming and rhythm of its words go really nicely with the arch of the story and truly aids in creating a better storyline with the very carefully chosen vernacular and intonation of the writing on the page.
