Homework 1

Write up what you found interesting about the East End Tale you have been given include:

A discovery you made while working on it and any questions that came up about rehearsing it and challenges you think you might have bringing it to life. 

We have been given Tale 6 which is about a man in a pub waiting for his brother who works in the pub, he see's two people who look like mother and son. They have dark skin, strong chins, welll kept names , messy hair, wide noses,  and they were carribean. The warm tired women turns from the bar and hits him, spilling her drink over him. The man looks furious and the bar sees him and they all watch exspecting him to hit her. Then all of the sudden she puts her arm on him and says my round next and all is well. 

The lesson before we had to develop on this tale and write about what we thought about one character, in my group we picked the narrator. We wrote that he was quite a hidden person that was a friendly but wasnt open to evryone. We had to go through a day in the life of him. 

1st- the narrator left his hosue and trpped so someone caught him he brushed it of and walked of quiclky because we were showing he wasnt friendly. 

2nd- He got on the train with loads of people around him, bumping into him and snezzing and coughing which shows he is quite uncomfortable 

3rd- He is walking through a back alley to get to the pub and bumps into a group of cockney 

girls who trys to chat him up , he doesnt respond and tries to get through them, this shows us that he isnt confident ladies man. 

4th- He is in the pub on the phone and people are trying to talk to him , we did this because from the tale we can see people thinks he is unsociable. 

I think this is an interesting tale because it tells us alot about different characters and it builds tension. The short sentences makes it easy to read and it is exciting. Weve discovered that the narrator is a big part of the tale and we find alot about his veiw and perspective on the things, we also learnt the atmosphear of the pub can be used in a really cool way because pubs are usually busy and loud. i think we might have challenges with amount of people in our group and using physical theatre in it because we might need more people in it.
