First of I want to thank you all of our class mates. John jiang, Abi, Robert, Cade, Angel, William, Josh, Jack and the great Ms G. I really enjoy the time worked with you guys. I had a fantastic journey on acting. It opens my view to the drama and everything. I want to say something at almost the end of this class: Wow! The time is really fleeting so fast. I just like still stay at the first day at school--naive, immature. I can't believe a semester just past.
We did a lot of thing in class. Thanks for John jiang and Abi to led us to finish a lot of scene. I did a lot of things. I still remember the first time I introduce myself. I am really sheepish. I knew no one. I am afraid to make mistake just the same as I did in China. But MS G and others support me a lot. Then we did silent movie. That was really impressive. I still remember the sneaky smile of Cade. Sadly Cade will not come back next year and William is graduated from high school this year. I will be really sad. I will miss them a lot. Then we did monologue, the scene of flash, The movie scene of Coach Carter, Inception and Hamilton. I love those scene a lot especially Hamilton. It's a musical scene. At first I hope to accomplish some goals in this semester. I still remember now: be confident when I am acting, brave to talk and gain suggestion from Ms G and other class mates. I still wonder to enjoy every scene. I think I accomplish " be confident when I am acting, brave to talk and enjoy every scene as well. I saw my improvement not only from acting class but also from today's American culture class. Today MS michels asked us to imitated part of scene in the show called" Friends". When I acted out. She said" wow there are some real actor in our class" I was really happy to hear that. I think I became more and more confident now. Bravely express personal opinion can shows I am became more and more confident now. In the past, when I found someone's mistake I won't pointed out because it will cause awkward but actually it's not. Acting is not just a class for act it's also a class of life. How to treat people right, How to talk to others and how to give a speech. I used to be very panic when I stood in front of the audience. I will get panic, forgot my lines and cover all sweat. I will be really nervous even my voice will be shrivel. During this class, everyone must performance in front of others. After times by times I gain a lot of experience. You don't have to worry about what they do, what they said. You just need to be yourself!
In conclusion, wish I have the best performance for final exam and thank you for everyone. I really enjoy the time with you guys. I appreciated it.

First of all I want to say sorry to Ms G because I didn't see the sentence below the assignment that require to write the reflection of the Hamilton. I really sorry about that and please give me a chance to let me finished it and regraded!
One day when Abi brought that amazing song to us I feel really excited. Because that song is just the type of song I like. You might be confuse of what kind of songs I would like. I listen to all kinds of songs and pop music is my favorite. I like the song which have harmony in it. For example: Adele's "Rolling in the deep", Sam smith's " Money on my mind" etc. I crazily love those voice. I just want to say" OMG!!!!". That harmony was amazing. So did Hamilton. This song included many kinds of music styles. Such as: rap, harmony etc. On the contrary, we were doing the Inception pscene at the same time. This song really attracted me deeply. I like this part very much---In New York you can be a new man, IN New York you can be a new man just you wait. We are waiting in the wings for you, you could never back down you never learned to take your timeeeeee. Well, at this moment, I almost started to sing. Every time when I listen to this rhythm. I want to follow it to sing and dance. This song is powerful. Like the song--You raise me up by Westlife. Every time the rhythm will inspire every part of your body.
The interesting part is not just singing. We not only sing but also dance at the same time. The posture we created was awesome and cool. We were not just did the posture randomly. We did it followed the rhythm. We even snap our finger in the beginning part of the song. Cade's rape and Robert's rap they were on fire. They are awesome rapper in our class. William, Jack, Angel and I we both have our own position. And John--- The real Hamilton. He has a very low voice. Sounds very dangerous and make the whole atmosphere full of nervous.
In conclusion, I love this song and the performance very much. I really appreciated and really enjoy of this song. I enjoy the time to work with everyone.

After watched the show I really wanted to say something inappropriate" Laugh my ass off". The show was amazing and ineffable hilarious. John Jiang, Lexi they are awesome. My favorite show are Popular, John Jiang, the latte boy and Morning meeting gone wrong.
In the scene "Popular' Lexi helps William make up "her" face it's so funny. I have never seen a boy make up before. The last time I made up is in the Kindergarten graduation ceremony. I can't remember what I look like that time. Making up is very uncomfortable because first of all you can't drink water because it will destroy your face. Second when you feel itch on your skin don't touch it. Because it will make you like a zebra. Making part of your skin not look the same as other part! William is a funny guy. William and I are classmate and we have the same acting class. He is very outgoing.He likes to try different kinds of performance. And he wear a dress. At that time unleashed a volcanic eruption of laugh make the Black Box like a market--noisy and full of laugh. I remember the point we laughed was when Lexi said" You will become popular but not as quite popular as me". Of course how can a boy more pretty than a woman. Unless he has a very well look face. And then William started dance. He turn his hip and try to made himself as sexy as possible. I just want to say" wow, fantastic baby".
Before I started introduce the Morning meeting gone wrong there is something really important to me. This semester goes too fast. Time fleeting very quick. We even can't trying to slow down our pace of move on. Every morning meeting is special. It just feels like after couple times of morning meeting and then we will improve to another grades student. I really appreciate the time that makes me unforgettable--the speech of student, the performance of student, Ms Anderson's awesome joke. This scene was wrote by my roommate and Sela. This scene just let us remember the joyful time and amazing person during the morning meeting. Ms Manham, Ms Anderson. The student just acted the same as the teacher. Only those people who have special personality and characteristic can be remember by others. Student and teacher live and work together every day. They must be really careful about what teacher says and what they did. The creepy sound of Ms Anderson. Ms Manham serious face expression make every one can't help laughing.
In conclusion, I love this show. Hoping next time their performance.

I will sing the song "Let her go" and playing piano while singing. I choose this because the lyrics are very touching because it reminds me that don't let yourself regret about what you did. I play piano since I was 6 years old and my mother coerce me to play it since now. Now I am growing up, I really appreciate my mom at that time coerce me to play piano. I think music and singing can be the best way to express the sounds innermost our heart. This is my first time singing while playing the piano, it's a challenge for myself. The time are fleeting so fast and I want to show others a very different me, a special me. The final draft will due after three week and I need to practice to make it better.
If you want to be a good actor the first thing you have to learn is confident which is I spend whole semester want to reach. Second is relax, not mean being relax when you are prepare the performance. ON the contrary, we should prepare very hard and be very relax on the stage. That can help us have a better performance. The third is how to being special, how to attract the attention of the audience. That's the most important point. When you really join your performance, pretend you are playing for yourself and you will attract their attention to you. If I reach one of it above then i will be satisfy of myself.

I felt disappointed after watching this scene, I am completely not satisfy with my performance. Everyone else did so well but I am really bad especially that the part I am on the plane talked about the sedation. It seems like my tongue twisted and cant's control to speak with a stammer. I just stand there without any face expression and I just like a wire pole stick on the ground. I looks so nervous and not very natural. I found out a lot of problems such as I clench my fists all the time and I think maybe in the future I should do some movement that makes me makes the audience more comfortable. I am just like isolate from that group because I always just stood there and do nothing or sit there. I need to be diligent and put more effort and enthusiastic on the scene. The advantage is I participate in this scene and memorize all my part of words but unfortunately I couldn't performance as well as the character in the movie. I am lack of experience so I feel so awkward when stand in front of the camera.
I can make the conversation better if I put more effort on memorization. I should really practice how to say the words smoothly not doing so much other unrelated things such as " uh uh ". Precisely speech will always make us comfortable no matter audience or myself.
I really admire Cade and Robert they are always being ebullient to treat the scene not like me sometimes I am pretty lazy that's true. Thanks for our director that hardworking make this film and participating in to this movie just like a leader. Enjoy this class so much!

Inception scene
I have to say the lines of inception is a bit difficult for me to memorize. It is a great deal of work for me. Because I feel very anxiety when I am taking the video. I afraid to make mistakes especially in front of the camera. It will makes me awkward, such as I don't know where to put my hand without shaking it. And I don't know where to stand even I don't know should I watch the camera or not. That's the things I need to work on in the future. I gain a lot of confidence during this scene. And I explore some of the talented of acting. During the line, it helps me learn how to communicate well to the people it also helps me learn about the story well. It's a peerless work for all of us. I enjoy the procession of finished our own work. I learn that how to communicate with my team mates, how to work well in the group. Team work can always be a essential things through every things.
Inception is a film that talks about the dream how to get in the dream, how to build a dream and makes it more sedative. The intelligence scientist can help them creates three layers of dreaming. Inception can help me learn a lot of vocabulary, there are plenty of unfamiliar words for me in the inception. It's good way to writ it down on the note book and review it. After finished this we are going to perform a song called Alexander hamilton. I like this song so much especially the part that we sing together. I like that kinds of music. I like listen to every kinds of music and judge them by myself, if it's good enough that worth me to download it and it will definitely be a nice song. My mum alway says you are a strict judger of music. Indeed, I like listen to music it can not only for myself but also brings me happiness. It makes my life have so much fun because of a song and a listen to it over and over again. There are so much things I need to learn hope I can grow up and enjoy it.

My character in inception is a person name Yusuf. He is the team member who formulating the drugs-- Somnacin. They are try to enter the dream world. This drug can allowed the dreamers get into multi-level of dreams. During his part of role I add some emotion in it. I think Yusuf is a deadpan. In his part of role I think there is not enough evidence or words mentioned in the scene can reflect what his characteristics and personality is. This is because he just have a few sentence. But I think his a clever scientists. He knows everything about the dream include how to get into the dream. He is a little stubborn because when someone suspect his choice he will stand out and explain his personal opinion and the reason why he choose this guy or trust this guy.
Speaking loud and act out is always my biggest problem or potential problem, I am not that confident and I am not really willing to perform and speak louder to let others hear my voice. I am also not good at do some action. I need to put more effort doing that , I should watch more movies and maybe I can learn a lot from the movie. I really need to watch the movie " inception". Actually I like act out some comedy, I am excited to make the audience laugh maybe is because my personality is like this. I like to make the audience laugh. I really enjoy when I can make someone laugh. It's my pleasure to bring others happiness. For the class I have to put more and more effort on my part of the role although it's a small role but it's still an important part of the scene. Although sometime I feel very boring, I still should focus on the scene because I am part of it. I need to contribute to the scene.
"inception" is a movie that difficult to understand and I think is a little bit boring because dream is made up by our own experience.

As Ms.Guarino said my part in the scene is just a few lines I need to fix this. I will find a longer scene next time. We practice a lot. Our scene is a part of the movie " coach carter". This is a really motivational movie and it's really touching. It depict the life in high school R. At first this academic school have the worst basketball season they won 4 over 54 games. The team mates they are not respect the coach not respect each other. They don't know how to play like a team. When coach carter replace the job of the original coach. I think he is the disaster of the whole team. He is so strict and cold blood. But at the same time he is the father. The most impressive thing I remember he said is we should respect each other , one struggle we all struggle, one failed we all failed, one needs help we all help. His quotes and speak is ineffable. Honestly, this movie is the movie that i like best. Because it can bring me power and each time when I am down this movie always raise me up. It's my light through the darkness. We do the final part of the movie when they lose their final game Vs St francis High school. And then he speak the things that influence me a lot. Four month ago I had a plan and that plan failed, I came here to coach basketball player and you guys became students. I came here to teach boys and you became man. For that I thank you. This is the procession that each of us will experience. We can't always be immature and be foolish. Some day we need to learn how to be a man. How to face the pressure how to fight with life or other enemy.
This is the reflection of our life in high school. Study, test, playing basketball or something else. I choose this film because I want to really feel the words. The words are so powerful beyond measure. The things I can do better or have space to improve is I shouldn't be lazy. I think I need to get a bigger part of the role so I can performance more and show more to everyone. It is my pleasure to performance in such a beautiful place. I feel that I am getting more and more confident while acting. It's a good challenge for me to be better and confident. This class can help me discover a lot of good movie and we can act whatever character we want. It will be really fun. I like the scene of Cade and Josh. I thought Josh is a little bit shy so his voice is so small to listen. I like Cade he's the best. He is so suit to act a comedy. I will take a video of his in the future as a good memorization.
This is it our acting class is always full of imagination and creativity.

The hardest part for this scene is that you really act like that person in that situation. Although we have the same words act like the same character but it's difficult for us to act. First of all we are not the professional actor. Acting is not only a subject but also it's a self showing performance. In the film we always can see some character crying, do that actually crying? Yes they are but they are fake crying. It's hard for a person that crying for no reason. Especially when they are excited. During acting class I am always very excited. It's hard to control my emotion especially act like you are in pain or sad. When I act out that part of the scene in flash I am Cisco and Josh is the reverse flash. I am the man who been killed by him but before that the emotion I should act is scary, surprised, and shock. It's quite difficult for me at first. I learned those things from John and Abigail. They are good classmates and good teacher. I learned a lot. I practice face expression for a lot of time. The final due time is the best I ever performance I achieved great success. In the future I still need to practice that I think watch more and more movie can help me improve this skill especially some type of movie that talk about the spy. They can control their pressing precisely. If they make one mistake such as a crafty smile. They might expose themselves. It can easy makes themselves fall in danger. Practice harder and harder especially stand in front of a mirror you can clearly see your face you can practice many kind of facial expression. That will be really helpful.
I should always asking other how to do better, it's a challenge for me and I should always be confident while acting. Sometimes I am not very confident of myself. There fore there are two points I should work on. The first is face expression, another is confident.

During this period of time is about act out a part of scene that in the movie we found. I and Josh chose a part of scene in the famous and popular movie--The Flash. We did a good job on memorization we can make the dialogue smoothly. We meet a lot of obstacle during the practice time in class. I think the first time we act out is suck!!! We both feel to shy to perform beneath so much people watching. We speak in a really low voice so that no body can hear us. This is also a mental problem I need to work on. Because in China teacher and Students will always laugh at you when you make some mistakes. That will be super awkward to make a mistake. It will definitely destroy my confident. IN here, In the united states, I have a completely feeling. I want to thank Ms Guarino to help me so much. She encourage me and Josh all the time. She is a mother rather than a teacher. When we make some mistake they always provided us useful advises even perform our scene to us and show us how to make it better. I learn a lot such as how to make this scene have a better connection to the audience instead of we act ourselves. Acting is not easy, I am shame that I think this is easy. Because i experience that perform beneath so much people watching. My character is Cisco which is the assistant of the Flash. Josh's character is Doctor Wells---The reverse Flash. During the first time performance we don't have any body language, no face expression. It's really boring to practice time by time. I have to admitted that I am pissed off because sometime I can't do that so well. We practice every class. I can see our progression. The due day is coming I feel unprecedented excited because I really want to prove myself and show them what I got for a long time practice. We record and video the first time we failed because Josh still speak in a really low voice but i and deeply went through the scene i am proud of myself Ms Guarino also praise me did a good job. Then we started second time recorded. We made it. I think is not that perfect because I forgot some words but mostly I did a good job I still need to work hard on that.
There is another interesting thing is I am always the guy who been killed. Last time for the silent movie I died in the scene this time I still been killed. It's really a challenge for me to act like being killed. The time to lay down the face expression, groan is all relative.
Other i like Cade and Robert scene they are so funny to perform a trade but the total money is just switch from their hands. LOl.
I enjoy acting class a lot it's a really good class. Thx Ms Guriano for all the things.

Once in a island is a really emotion and touching theater. I must admit that i don't really like or watch theater before because it will always makes me fall asleep. But today's theater is really attractive and fantastic. I like Abi's voice is really attract the audience when she at her parts many audience whisper and i clearly know what they are talking about. Some of the audience said "this girl is amazing she is good at this." Her voice makes me realize that it's similar to a singer i know--adele. She control her voice to well, it's not too much it's not too lack it's just precisely. It's a enjoyment to listen her songs. So do Abi. This theater once in an island indicate a very sad story about Teen moon the girl who fall in love with a Boy and when that boy really hurt in a traffic accident she pray to the god and save him. He didn't remember anything but Teen Moon wakes his memory and they fall in love with each other. The boy's parents don't allow him to marry with Teen Moon. They arrange him to marry with another girl. The boy just left Teen moon alone. I feel really mad when i watch this scene i really want to push that boy on face because this is not only unscrupulous but also cold blood. I will never left a girl i love so much even though there are so much obstacle in the future. She dies because she trades her life to the god of death. When her friend use venomous view to see her and innuendo her. She has nothing to say it inspires my sympathy to that girl. John is also a interesting person not only shows on his face language but also his body language that makes me laugh. I also took some picture when he performances as a frog it's really funny.
This theater is not blinded because it's not just a simple theater, they sing to communicate with other , now i can use a few lyric to express my feeling or the feeling of teen moon. " You have got the words to change a nation but you are biting your tongue you have spent a life time in silence, Afraid you say something wrong, If no one ever hears it how we gonna learn your song so come on come on, come on come on. You have got a heart as loud as lions so why let your voice be tamed maybe we are a little different there's no need to be ashamed" Theater can sing what we like to sing, singing is the way for people to release their deep feeling in the life. When you are afraid, when you are sad, when you are happy or even when you are frustrate. Singing can help you express yourself not stuck in your innermost. It's a wonderful performance but the prop should be more real it will be awesome.
I just want to say Thank you to all of the member, Thank you to let me enjoy this theater.

Cisco: Barry, I think Doctor Wells is really not who we think he is. I need to find out what went wrong that night we captured the reverse flash and find out how he really escaped. Can you cover for me?
Barry: sure I'll tell wells you went out of town to run an errand.
Cisco walls down the hallway to the trap they sent and captured the reserve flash. Cisco works on a computer.
(Cisco watches the holograms) : Doctor Harrison wells we meet at last. Cisco plays it over again. : Doctor Harrison wells we meet at last.
Wells: hello Cisco your incrediblally clever.
Cisco: your him the reverse flash.
Wells: We never properly introduced. I am Eboard Thawne.
Cisco: Thawne... like Eddie Thawne.
Wells: let's call him a distant relitave.
Cisco: you were there that night when Barry was a kid. You killed Nora Allen why?
Wells: it was never my intention to kill Nora. I was there to kill Barry.
Cisco: Your his friend. Your teach no him how to go faster. Why?
Wells: I'll tell you why Cisco. I have been stuck in this time for 15 long years. And the flash, and the flashes speed. is the key to my way home. to the future. And no one will prevent this from happening.
Cisco: I can help you
Wells: your smart Cisco. but not that smart.
This is hard for me. Because have become quite fond of you especially you. And in many ways you have shown me what it is like to have a son.
Wells: forgive me

Feedback of monologue
First I have to say is a fantastic experience for me because I haven't try to do a monologue by myself until acting class. Now I have a clear definition of monologue and Ms Guriano is the best teacher because she is very helpful and patient for every student there is always encouragement around me that makes me confident to do anything. The main point of the class is not only improve and build you to a good actor but also it's a class that encourage, rebuild your personality and motivate you go on every thing bravely. I think the good thing is I recite and act it out at least is a progress for me. I need to be more confident and put more emotion in it because everything without emotion it will be really boring and bland such as speech it will get two complete different results. One is the audience all fall asleep another is influence the audience and makes then very excited. I can also be more smoothly while talking and giving a monologue. This is more like a talent show for me because we are the judges and we can watch any kinds of monologue, it's really attractive for me. The most impressive one is made by William he is a genius he can make the monologue so well and he just like always stay with it. The body language he mad is accurate and exaggerated that makes me surprised. I notice a detail that he always control his speed I'd monologue that make it better. I like Ryan's song for his monologue it's really sad and romantantic I even search the name of it it's called River in your heart what a name! His monologue just like the song sugar. I like it. Angel's monologue is also very great especially she add the music it became more powerful and stronger. I will always remember this experience because is not only a challenge for myself but also is a lesson for my life.

Monologue
I learned a lot from the performance. That's a very exciting experience for me. I haven't get in touch with monologue before. I am too shy to do monologue in China but when I came to American I feel more outgoing and confident because Ms Guriano always encourage me and inspire me to do monologue. It became a inevitable section in my life. My monologue is about a ware wolf. I think my Howl is too annoying and harsh. Because it will change the voice when I try to howl in my throat. Ms Guriano encourage me to do that other classmates also encourage me to howl. Luckily it's very good and I am satisfied of my performance. Monologue is focus on soliloquy performance. I am afraid to give a speech or performance if there are so much audience. I feel good of my monologue because I create that scene when acting. I turn off the light put a rock on the floor and there is moonlight. I feel a little nervous at first but at last I perform very smoothly at last. The most difficult things in monologue I think is memorization. You need to memorize all the stuff you need to speak when you are acting. It's difficult for me to combine two things together I will forget when I am acting. That's super awkward and embarrassing especially there are so much audience. It's definitely a challenge. I solve this problem. I read my word again and again and underline the important words. I memorized it time by time finally remember it. I learned a lot from acting class. I get great help from Ms Guriano , she taught me how to perform well and put my own emotion in it is also a necessary part. You need to be really patient of the acting class. Monologue is also a diversified curriculum. It's related to life.
I learned a lot from the performance. That's a very exciting experience for me. I haven't get in touch with monologue before. I am too shy to do monologue in China but when I came to American I feel more outgoing and confident because Ms Guriano always encourage me and inspire me to do monologue. It became a inevitable section in my life. My monologue is about a ware wolf. I think my Howl is too annoying and harsh. Because it will change the voice when I try to howl in my throat.

(starve makes me woke up,and stomach start growl)
I feel so strange tonight, waking up in the full moon's
light. Something had changed. I am not the same.(when I turn around try to refill to sleep I feel my hair has been twisted by the pillow) I'm getting really hairy. More hairy than I thought a man could be. This is rather scary and ...and....(when I try to say something to myself) my voice is changing toooooo.(fall in to panic, and stand near to the window and pace around)
(Neighbor is playing a familiar song in the midnight , can't help myself singing)
(Question myself about the voice)

First of all I haven't experience before I take acting class, I even don't know what it is. When Ms Guarino asks us to make a silent movie I am so excited and worry. I am afraid that I will not contribute a lot for my group. Luckily we exchange and share our idea finally accord with each other. The movie's name is kill Sam, not the same as kill bill. It is hilarious, our film maker John, he is brilliant and smart to link the song and our action together. The good things are we act like a real film and make every movement such as sword fight, hurt by a guns. I feel good too. I think we can make the film longer and put more emotion and concentration in it. The other group is also very good. Their style is not the same like us. They are grace. I really need to work on my action to make it more real. It's easy to follow the order of the film maker, but it's difficult to do it well. The funniest thing is I am the first time participate in this activity. I learned two things one is cooperation another is unity.I hope I can enjoy the class in the future and have a better performance in the future too.

GROWING UP IS HARD TO DO"

I feel so strange tonight, waking up in the full moon's light. Something had changed. I am not the same. I'm getting really hairy. More hairy than I thought a man could be. This is rather scary and ...and....my voice is changing toooooo.
(He howls and then slaps his hands over his mouth)
THAD (CONT.)
Was that a howl? And my hands... Look at my nails... did I forget to cut them or are they longer... And sharper than before?
(He struggles with the sheet.... He gets all wrapped up in a panic. He claws and rips at it)
THAD (CONT.)
Claws! Actual claws!
(He finally gets free of the sheet)
THAD (CONT.)
Mirror? Where's a mirrorrrrrr!
(Big growl)
THAD (CONT.)
Was that a growl? From my stomach? What's there to eat? I could really use some meat.
(Holds his stomach)
THAD (CONT.)
Growing up is so hard to do...
(Reaches back And feels something bulging at his rear)
THAD (CONT.)
....especially when you're growing a tail toooooooo!
(He howls and holds his bottom and carefully scoots off stage)

my information
I am Jayden and i'm from China. I lived in VDP. I came to cheshire on January 1st. I chose this class because i am the student for Spring fall, i don't have a chance to choose the curriculum. Luckily the first time of this class brought me a fantastic memory and really impressive me. Before the class i have watch a few of old movie such as "Les choristes" "The father". They were old but they were classic and amazing because i like the story inside the movie and i went to the universal studio and i learned how they create the movie and how to make it realistic. I want to learn silent movie, song and comedy. I have just been creating silent movie with my partner. I watched a few silent movie in class and i thought it will be a wonderful and excited experience because i haven's participating from i am born to now. Come to America will change my future and all i should do is learning hard and study hard also i need to have a good social communication with classmates. And for the song i like to listen to music and maybe i will try to create my personal album if i do really well. I think comedy can be the most difficult one because making other laugh it seems really difficult but in fact sometimes it's easy, it can always put me in a dilemma. I want to be more confidence and outgoing because it's good quality and in China i have hide all of those. That will be a block when i talk to people. Shy will not make so much friend but outgoing could.
