Toward the future/from the past

1. Well first of all at first I hated writing this play, I thought it was lame and had no point to it. I had no idea how to start my play it was annoying and frustrating. But when I did start going to it, it came easily. I knew what I wanted to write but just didn't know how to put it down on paper. But when I did all of my ideas came back and I just went with the flow. I think that my play is really strong and is up to date with issues in society. I mean lesbians in high school would be dramatic and fun to read about or watch.

2. I have only one idea for my personal essay and that is... MY BACK SURGERY! YAY! That is always what I write about when we need to write something personal.. Is that what it's supposed to be? Would back surgery be ok to write about? I really don't know. But it's non-fiction and I would have a lot of details to write about and it would be easy. I really don't have any other ideas. I could write about getting caught smoking in 9th grade on the last day of school but that could be inapropriate for school. But it's always an idea. Does this have to have a moral? Because the smoking idea would have a moral but not the back surgery... well it could be... don't get scoliosis... but I really don't think that would work. Other than those two ideas I have nothing... any ideas?

3. If I were to talk to a younger kid s/he would have to be 10 years of age because I don't think a 5 year old could take in all of my advice. My advice would have to come from my experiences and others. I know a lot of people that have gotten into more sh** than I have and I would base my advice off of that. I would probably tell them to be loose but not too loose. To have fun but know you're limits. Of course this would go into affect in middle school or highschool not elementary. When this kid, I'm giving advice to, gets into high school I would have to tell them to have a proper balance. Because if you're uneven you'll most likely fall. And you don't want to fall you want to SUCCEED!

Thanks

1. Theme is important in what you write because it shows what the play is about and how the writer came to it. It's the main point of the story. If you didnt have a plot then you wouldnt know what the story is about. The theme gives the reader or audience member the moral of the story. A great piece of literature does need to express an idea or else it will go nowhere and just confuse the audience. Theme tells the whole story in a sentence. You can't have a story without a theme or it won't be a story. The series, Gossip Girl, does have a theme and its the lifestyle of the rich and famous teens.

2. What causes a great book to live forever is if people want to read it. Then if people want to read it they will go tell other people and those people will want to read it and then it will get around and it will become legendary. Books with good themes become like that a lot. A book that becomes legendary is a book with a good theme and tells a good story that people will tell on to the next generation and tell their friends.

3. If I could make an impact on the world I would love to find a cure for Aids or the common cold or some sort of deathly cancer. This would change the world forever and they would remember me for being the on who found it. It would be long-lasting because for the rest of the generations would have no aids, no colds and no cancer. And if I did find a cure more scientists can go off of my data and find new cures for other risks around the world.
