The hopeless earth

In the scene we played during class we shows some confusion in our play, the flash back are the second scene, the fourth scene, and the sixth scene. And the other confusion that we had was who is my character. I agree we still have a lot to work on, but I feel the group work was good and we did have a lot of progress during other days. I assume a play that without lighting change and sound effect is not a complete play. What we had for the first draft was the brave draft which with out the sound and the light effect, we even did not have the setting of them for now, so to understand this play was hard and required a lot of reading of the orgian book.

The book was about the story that after a sunset the sun never went up, every one living in the city that full of snow and darkness. My character was a doctor who also is the boy friend of the mother of the family, he always come visit the family after the father leave them, after the sun set he visit the family more frequently to give them advice to survive. Both of his daughter died during the flu and himself also died after few days. So we add in a new scene talk about the kids did not wish to get the flu and they will feel hopeless when they got the flu, because the boy friend of their mum who is an doctor got the flu and finally killed by they flu, which makes them feel disappointment when they found out that the visitor of their family has been killed by the illness and also they will give the hopeness emotion to the audience.

We use the flash back to show that the compare the life they once had and the life after then sun set, they used to have TV and watch football together, but now they even need to save food for living and let the younger brother eat two meal a day, but rest of them only eat one meal a day. The older brother was once a successful collage student that leave with the love and honor, but after he come back he was the man who tried his best to survive with the entire family.

The other thing that we did about the play we show that the stage dose not change much but they still need to use the limited sources to survive. That also reminded the audience that they are till 16 years old young kids who are childish and always has disagreement with the family. The younger brother was only 14 years old and he need to be the strong one of the family, and the only girl as the main character she need to go to town and looking for supplies. They have a life they they should not have and they did what they can tiring to survive.
