1. Well theme is obviously very important you can't write anything even a song without a present common theme. In order to have a story you must have a theme that builds up to the climax. For example in Robin hood the theme is giving. Robin doesn't do it in the right way but in the end after he steals from the rich and gives to the poor. Themes all in all bring the story together in order to make it exciting and adventourous.

3. There are many things that I would really like to incorporate into my play. Two ideas that I have are to write a one act about high school love and gossip aka High school musical the remake. I just think I could go crazy with that one and make a better cooler hsm where the lead character doesn't act so gay and child like it would be a more adult version of hsm. Then my last idea is a romantic murder mystery. Kinda like clue but not. Basically there will be two main girls. They both fall for the same guy then one night at a party they both find out that they are both dating him at the same time. Then as soon as they start at it Andrew (the main guy) is lying on the floor covered in blood. I'll probably choose the second one cause the theme would just be more exciting and dramatic. The theme would be Romantic Drama.


2. For my play I really don't want to write about my family or something thats important to me. I want it to be fun and exciting I really enjoy writing drama scenarios. Personally I feel that it would be super fun to do a Murder drama. I want to do this because I would never get boared or not be able to think of stuff to say. That is why i'm planning on doing a murder/ Romantic drama mystery.

If I didn't have music in my life I don't think I would be able to get through everything that I have gone through. Music is my way out, as well as my stress reliever. I actually have two songs that have inspired me. The first song may come as a shocker to some of you but it does inspire me. The song unwritten. The lines "Live your life with arms wide open today is where your book begins the rest is still unwritten." This part of the song reminds me that yeah in life you make mistakes at times it may feel like the worst thing you've ever done. But, if you live your life with arms wide open you can start over your can rewrite the rest of your book of life and make it better. Another song that inspires me is the song by John Mayer "Waiting On The World to Change." "When were standing at a distance we're waiting we just keep waiting on the world to change." In this song John Mayer gives situations and in all the scenarios people are just standing around and waiting for the world to change when we could be out there doing it ourselves. It just reminds me that if we want the world to change we can't just sit back and hope that it will we have to make it change.

1. The writer's adage is as follows:Reading is breathing in; writing is breathing out.Why is reading so crucial for a writer? Whenever I've heard writers speak--be it playwrights, novelists, or poets--they talk about the importance of reading. In Pat Conroy's memoir My Losing Season, in fact, he goes into great depth about the books he was devouring at that point in his life and what they meant to him.So, talk about the role of reading to the writer and why it is important. If you disagree, then explain why you think OTHERS think it is important. Write at least 100 words. There are several reasons as to why reading is so crucial for a writer. A writer just can't become successful with a snap of a finger and a lot of the time they do not come up with there own ideas. By reading writers can come up with new ideas that branch off of what they read that has not been written by them. Also, a writer can't go and publish something without slowly and carefully reading over what they have already written. In conclusion writters can not be successful without getting ideas from other authors books that they have read. Lastly, before publishing writters need to slowly and carefully read over what they have written. For a writter to become successful i just feel that they should enjoy reading and make it a crucial part of their life.



2. What is something you see in your world that concerns you? This could be something among your peer group, something you see in America, or something you see in the world. What is your interpretation of this topic, and why do you feel that way? Write at least 75 words about it.3. What is one piece of art (painting, movie, book, song, whatever) that has greatly inspired you? What is that piece and what about it has inspired you? Explain in detail. Write at least 100 words. There are a lot of things in our world that I do not approve of. One of the major things that has damaged our enviroment and that scares me too death is global warming. I feel that Presidents that we've had and people all around the world have not done there best to keep our enviroment healthy. There are so many things we can do to make our envroment a better place. For instance, instead of buying a car that runs on gas we could buy a car that runs on electricity also known as a hybrid car. Hybrid cars are just better for our enviroment because you save so much energy. Also, recycling is a big thing that could really help our enviroment. If we were to recycle we would greatly help pollution. There are little things that you can do too. Like turn off lights after you leave, walk and bike and take the bus to places instead of driving a car ect. Global warming concerns me because it is hurting the world that we live in and it can be prevented by our daily actions if we attempt to do those things it would make our enviroment a better healthier place.
