Broward College, Central Campus Theater in building 6, on Sunday, the 1st of November. The play was performed by Broward College students. The type of stage was Proscenium stage with extended apron. I thought it was a little bit small, but it did not show as a problem. The pre-show was dark and a feel of suspense. I felt excited to see how everything would play out. The play takes place down south of Chicago in the 1950’s.

Violet Duran being a protagonist of the novel “Feed” by M.T Anderson stood out the most. To me she wasn't just some girl, she was different. Titus was drawn to her and from the minute he and his friends started talking to her at the moon, they noticed she wasn't like them. Violet had her feed implanted in her brain when she was seven years old due to her parent’s financial situation. She is also home schooled by her father who is a professor who teaches the dead language.

If somebody’d of come in and took a look… a fifty-year old woman hollering and squealing at the back of their heads about discipline and order and recriminations, they’d of thought the whole bunch was crazy as loons” (144-145). No matter how hard Nurse Ratched tries to control McMurphy, he does not conform to her rule. Though Nurse Ratched controls the television and does not allow the patients to watch the World Series,

The Chosen, By Chaim Potok is an interesting and thought provoking read, yet the moral ideas and thought provoking actions of the characters in To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, will leave a lasting impact on one’s life. Throughout both novels characters are forced to make important decisions and difficult choices. The 2nd novel mentioned, To Kill a Mockingbird, stands out among the two due to the type of moral choices expressed, the way that the book connects the reader with the characters, and the many well written plot twists and story lines. The Chosen has most of these attributes as well, yet the author did not express them nearly as well as the author of the other novel. Both novels are marvelously written and carry important lessons. The lessons of TKAM were more interesting however, and connected the reader’s thoughts with that of the characters.

In the novel Catch Me If You Can by Frank William Abagnale, Frank is a well defined static character. Even though he faces different challenges throughout the novel, he remains the same a the end of the story as he was in the beginning.

From the minute our local coordinators explained what GYSD was, I had been looking forward to that day. And when our team finally made our plan into a reality, the first thought that visited my mind was: “Wow, I can’t believe this! We actually did it”. I have never seen us so happy, so accomplished, so united.

I look forward to the opportunity and hope to be joining the MCMagic Cast Member team in the near

My overall reaction of the book's conclusion is pretty good. I turned out happy. Spoiler: America does make it through the first part of the competition. I'm glad that she does make it through though because Prince Maxon Schreave and America would be a very cute couple. I think America deserves to win because the girl who wins this competition, gets make perks such as her family will be generously compensated, she becomes the princess of Illéa which also means she is part of royalty. For the most part, it does make sense that she could win the competition because the front cover of the book is a girl in a big dress. Plus why would there be a whole series about America if she wouldn't win the competition? I also think the ending is good because
