A Piece By Grandma.

Today we left the dear old farm. The farm that we had everything on, the town that Will and I grew up on and lived on most of our life. Everything we had is here, why did we have to leave? Will and I had no choice but to leave, the family have to stay together and to be honest Will and I can’t cope on our own. California is a long way and when we get there we don’t even know if there is work for us. So many people are traveling, doing the same as us but can California hold all of us? Will and I are old, fragile and need looking after all the time. Back on the farm people can do that, someone will be around all the time, but how do we know if that’s the same in California, it might be completely different. How do we know if Will and I will even make it to California? Is it too much of a risk for us to go?

Inspiration.

I was looking through photos on google, and i came across this photo. It made me think a lot about my charaters and about how close this family actually is. They're always together when Tommy gets back from jail and they stay together until the grandparents died. I love how they're always helping eachother and if somethings wrogn someone will notice and make sure that they're okay and everyone is okay. In the background of this photo where it says 'going places?' on the poster, it pulled me into it, and i was lookign for more detail. I thought about what if we had somethign like this on the back wall off the hall or something where we can point at on the 'road trip' to California.

The Truck.

I think this is an amazing way to make the truck. Its original and out of the blue, its a very eye catching and simple idea and to be quite honest i really liked it.

Parts!

Yesterday in lesson we got given our role in the play. To be quite honest i was so scared. I've done so many productions but never ever had to confidence to go for a part even a little one, so today when i got given my parts i was so shocked. I got given three roles, Grandma, Elizabeth Sandry and Mrs Wainwright. 

When miss told me i had three different part, i sunk down and all my confidence left ( well the little that i had) and i knew that i had to get it back and brave myself up. As a person i hardly have any confidence and when i got these parts i thought to myself, this will hopefully bring me out of my shell and give me more confidence.

With the character i think i'm going to play her with two side, one side would be and old fragile caring woman, but the other side shes going to be tough as old boots and no one will get in her way. For Elizabeth, i think going to play her like a die hard Catholic who thinks she basically God right hand woman and everything anyone else does it wrong. Finally for Mrs Wainwright, i have an idea but not to sure yet, to play her as a lovely person, who everyone loves being around and will give her time for everyone and anyone. Also he give 110% to everything she does.

i think and hope The Grapes Of Wrath will being my confidence out and help me majorly.
