Look closely and you'll see,

a different side to what is me.

Its a part that is silently screaming,

and the thoughts are so bad,u will wish u were dreaming.

listen closely and you'll hear,

the sound of evil lurking near.

its so close you can almost feel it,

and its coming for you and you don't even see it.
You think i like you but i put on a good front,

I'm playing with your mind rather than being honest and blunt.

but don't worry the truth will soon come out,

and I'll make it quick but painful of that there is no doubt

The Talking Photograph

Your placed there

starring upon me

never letting go

and try allowing me to be

A person who

Is unchained from you

Free as a bird

And no longer seeming so blue

Try and let me go

To face Reality

That I am no longer here

Im gone completely

Drop this square

And brake its glass

let me fly free and have you

stop living in the past

STARTERS #1 5W's

It was a cheerful day. All the brainy-acks began to take over the halls, trying to prove that they had made it. With there inventions in hand, they would soon become millionaires. But there was a new geek that day of the fair. His name was Chris Wiseact. Now back at Chris' old school, he was said to be the best. He won almost every state fair. But not this year. I was going to win, I was going to take all the glory.
Time was coming close. Every little geek in site ran to their tables making sure everything was fine. Every geek present except Chris. The science fair was not allowed to start till everyone was present. Especially if their invention was already on the table.
It wasn't till the clever police officer tripped over a body in the broom closet. Poor Chris! he had been hit on the top of the head with a dictionary to knock him unconscious. Beside him laid a pocket protector with a name which wasn't Chris', but mine.

I WANT

When I leave High school, I want to go to cosmetology school. I want to master at hair care and design within 10 months of training. I want to move in with my boyfriend and my parents not be OK with it because they feel that i am moving to fast in my relationship. I want to then start working at a top salon and make my way through community college for about a year and transfer into a University to finish out my degree in business.

And within this time i want to ask my mother to help me look for my wedding dress. And when she sees just that perfect dress for me i want to see a tear run down her face and say, "This is the one". And when i walk down the aisle i want to trip just a little because i lost eye contact like the movie 'Run Away Bride'. I want to have my honey moon on a beach with white sand and clear waters. Even though it will probably just be the Holiday Inn here in town. And with my husband who loves me deeply place white sand around the tub and hand soap sea shells around it just to make me happy.

And i want to start my family. I have always wanted many children. Twenty-four is what my husband wants, but in reality it will only be 6. I want at least 3 boys Malakhai, Xavier, and Aaron, and 3 little girls Vamary, Ilene, and Makayla. Makayla and Malakhai of coarse being twins. I want my children to be close in age so that when one of them go out for recess the other ones are already outside playing and watching over them.

I want to get a phone call from the school telling me that my child has gotten into a fight, and to come to the school as soon as possible. I want to walk into the school office with my husband Khai and see that its our two sons Xavier and Aaron sitting in the nurses office with some bloody noses. I want to have a meeting with the principal and have him yell at me and my husband for not teaching my children right from wrong. and i want to yell right back in his face and say "I do teach my children right from wrong! And children will be children and some day they are bound to have a dispute between their siblings! But to be thankful that it wasn't with a fellow peer in their class."

I want all of my children to be active. I want my oldest Vamary to be captain of the her middle school cheer-leading squad. I want Aaron to be the star basketball player and for Xavier to be the decent short-stop for baseball. I want Ilene to be the tom boy that i cant convince to be a cheerleader or volleyball player. Instead her wanting to play football with the guys. And i want Makayla and Malakhai to be in boxing.

I want Vamary to fall for the for Aaron's best friend, and have him break her heart at the school dance because another girl promised him more than my daughter wanted to give. And i want Aaron to get in a fight with his best-friend for hurting his sister. And I want my daughter to show Aaron that she is thankful for him being there for her but never really say it.

I want to take camping trips with my children where my husband Khai tries to help me become unafraid like him and my children. I want them to scare me a thousand times making it seem like they are hurt to wear they see me cry and know how much i would hate for something like that to really happen.

I want to have my daughter Ilene sit my husband and I down with her boyfriend, and tell us something amazing but may be very upsetting has happened. I want my Khai to be furious to the point where he hops in his car and drives. And I want Ilene to come to me and throw herself in my arms and tell me how sorry she is for what has happened. I want to then get all my daughters and sit them down and explain to them that their father and i will never not love them or hate them for the wrong that they do. but we will be disappointed in the choices they may choose to make. And that we will always be there for them.

FOOTBALL

In Elizabeth Cranes "I want" story, she bases her rhythm on ideas. In football there are both ideal thoughts that she has on the future, as well as realistic thoughts that may happen in the future. I find it a bit funny on how she expresses these realistic thoughts, for most people would not say "I want". In other words they would say i hope this is not to happen in the future. Slowing down and the speeding up to me are based on the situations that are being red. When something drastic happens the speaker learns to slow down. As to where the the speeeding up takes place is kinda a bit like a dream. Your more idealistic point of view on life and how it should be. In a dream something goes by so fast your can barely remember all that you saw while it was running through your mind.

Narrative

The sun is already up and my head is bounding. I can here my little sister screaming and my pain in the butt brothers are laughing. This is such an annoying day so far, another day of school and boring teachers. But hey my friends are there and that at least makes it a whole lot better than being in this house. I turn the radio on; it’s my favorite song. The GoGo’s are playing one of my favorite song.
Just finishing cleaning my room, my little sister runs in. “Hey Jen look, what momma got me! Some clothes just like you have”, she says it with such excitement, I can’t help but laughing.
“Janette you know momma didn’t really give you anything new. She just gave you her old work out clothes. All she did is cut them up so that they would look close to mine. Believe me its not new, ask momma she’ll tell you.”
“I don’t believe you Jen, you just don’t want me to dress up like you because you think I look better than you do.” “If you say so Janette,” I walked out my room and headed out the door down the street to where I met my best friend Kandi.
Now Kandi and I have been best friends for a very long time. She used to live right next door but her mom found a nicer home just a couple of blocks down, but oh was it so much fun when she used to be only ten feet away, we would have just so much fun. Everyday after school we would walk home sing Mrs. Suzie. Those were the days.
Sometimes I wish I could be like Kandi she is fearless and unique. She is the type that doesn’t care what people have to say. Plus she has got great style. I think Kandi’s favorite piece of wardrobe is her go-go boots. These white long legged leather boots, well at least they used to be till she scrunched them down.
“Hey Jen!” She exclaimed to me with such joy, “I have got some exciting news to tell you. Now you know that guy you said you like right, what was his name? Well anyways I just heard that he is looking for a girl to go to prom with and well you just might be first on his list.” She exclaimed to me with such joy. Did I not mention that my friend Kandi knows all the gossip around school! Whatever it is she knows it.
We get to school and all the girls are out going themselves. Now almost every girl is head over heals for Kevin. He is like the hottest guy at our school. Now I mean yes Kandi knows all the gossip. But I mean I have a lot of girls to compete with. I do really like him but if its not meant to be its not meant to be.
The day is going long and lunch has just passed where I usually see Kevin talking with his friends in the corner of the cafeteria. He usually makes his way through the cafeteria saying what’s up to almost everyone then finally sits with the jocks, but not today. I’m starting to wonder if he is even at school. I figure he isn’t, I’m sure he knows that he will be fluttered by every girl that walks by him. Not like they don’t already. Comes math, the only class I have with Kevin. Figuring that he isn’t even there I decide

ES Response

Describe any interesting, troublesome or thought provoking examples of characterization or plot from Eternal Sunshine.
-I feel that some interesting pieces of the movie for the characters were allowing them to try to change things around change what they at one point loved and dont want to let go...

Describe at least one technique you want to try in you screenplay.
-I think that a technique i would love to try is the flashback, picking a scene that can mean alot to something and has meaning the only this is can i accomplish cretating the perfect scene.

Describe one aspect of Eternal Sunshine that won't work in the short format.
-The thing that may not work in a shor format would be the flashback, recognizing one scene may be a bit hard unless you can come up with that perfect scene.

Movie Response

1. At this point in the movie the writer i have been able to notice how there is a sense of wonder in the characters. the characters seem lost and in the faze of recreating what they have last remembered. Within the first couple of chapters of the movie Joel and Clementine are just meeting and getting to know each other. So you get this idea of love and first site. Though what we don't understand is how Clementine becomes to forget about Joel. Clementine seems to be this very spontaneous type of person who tries to live life in the moment while Joel is a more simple person who doesn't really care. But makes Clementine feel horrible for the way she is and to this point she can not take it and is unhappy.
2. In my short screenplay i would say the technique i may be able to use is by using the indirect character, because i find it to seem a bit more understanding and not yet so confusing, as to the direct character it may be a bit more of an out there type of situation.
3. I feel that a few ways that Charlie Kaufman handles the plots are by flash back. From the start of the movie you see Joel and Clementine having a good time. Then when he drops her off someone knocks on his window door. Not knowing who it is ignores it well later on the same character reappears. He lets us start to understand the characters while trying to find everything that reminds Joel of Clementine and they review their past. At this point Joel is in a confused state and while Joel is getting his mind wiped of clementine its seems that everything is reappearing to herself.
4. The limitations to a short film are time, how much you actually have compacted into your play, Just the biggest things may take up too much
