Second Draft

-Story
A wall of Fire Rising+The Night Women (Combination)
What happened after Guy died
When we read, the connection is really apparent
I like the personality traits of Lili-strong and independent, also, night women's love towards her son: soft and caring.
Literary Analysis
-Theme: love, hate, and sacrifice
-Character: Lili
Relationship: Lili and Guy(love and hate)
Lili and Little Guy(selfless love)
-Conflict:
Lili and Guy(whether Little Guy should work or study)
Lili and Little Guy(the same as before)
Lili vs. herself
Adaptation:
Love and caring
Staging:
Our version talks mainly about the sacrifice that Lili gives to her son and her family, and love towards her son. As a result, Lili mostly softens her voice to Little Guy. Whenever he has any problem, she will encourage him to the end. However, I think Lili is not only a strong and independent woman. She also needs love, selfless acts, and caring. As a result, when she sees Guy, she will act nervous, disappointed, and sad. 
Blocking
-Black Box( flexible)
-used the triangles to show the separation
-the darker side for Lili
-When Little Guy is arguing about whether to work, he tries to go to my side to show his growth as an adult, willingness to work for the family, but I pull him to the brighter side to show my eagerness of not willing to let him even fall.
Performances
-started with a soft voice to expose my love toward my son; 
-responded with a gentle voice
-sat with Little Guy on the bed to show the connections
-patted his back and looked at him gently. 
-when Guy is there, I lower my head
- crying, frowning, yelling to him
-I also fiddle my hands to show nervous
- pushing him to show my anger
-trilling my voice to show my sadness
-when he is gone, I sat on my bed to show my sadness
-when Little Guy wants to work, my voice becomes less gentle, but tougher
-I yelled at him
-my voice gets serious: saying lines straight and quick and direct
-after I found out my son will be left, I say it with a more gentle voice 
-I sat on the ground to show helplessness

Evaluation will be the same
Improvements:
I can actually put on the crying emotions into the performances. 
I can act closer toward Josh so that it can be clear that we were couple
Did well:
When I had my work down, I clean my cloth and I acted like I wasn't expecting Little Guy to wake up(the surprise)
Also, when Little Guy woke me up after he saw the angel, my reaction is kind of right for just waking up. 
What I HAVE LEARNED:
The culture and political information about Haiti
To also be creative
How to create lines
About the role of a woman in the Haiti society
How to cooperate with my classmates
Props
Easy props-showing the Haitian family and the poverty in the family
Book-education 
Flower-mourning
Different beds between me and Little Guy( further shows sacrifice)

Reflective Blog Post

1). Know well about the terminology of theatre. For example, the downstage, upstage, down right, up left. I know the stage direction pretty well. Also, I know about the type of stage because when it comes to direct the play, I can obviously point out which stage do I want the best. Besides, because I stayed a long time in theatre, the projecting voice sometimes is quite easy for me to perform. More over, as I stand in theatre, I know more about the expressions of characters. How to express emotions on the stage. From IB theatre, I acknowledge the usefulness of colors in the theatre. I know the terms methods of Stanislavski, Uta Hagen, Brecht...etc. 2). However, sometimes, my expression might not be that accurate. I couldn’t reach to the realism. From this year, I will try harder to illustrate my natural performance on the stage. I still have some misunderstanding about certain words-words that I don’t know. For example, the sitzprobe, the dramaturg...etc. I still have to know these wo...
