1. I thought it was difficult to write stage directions. I wanted to have so many different scenes, but I had to limit myself to having only two or three. The set that I imagined in my head was much more detailed and pretty, but when I wrote it in my stage directions it wasn’t at all like I pictured. I liked explaining the scenes and characters through dialogue rather than just telling the reader how everything was. It was hard to have a theme in my play...I kind of just told a fun story. I don’t think I would be interested in writing drama or anything like that, but I could be good at coming up with some ideas!
2. Some ideas for my personal essay, I could write about a day in Montana. Details of how I learned to love the outdoors and love the water. I could write about Paige’s accident and how I remember every detail and every facial expression of the people I was with when we found out. It seems like that moment was frozen in time...I’m never going to forget that. I could write about the day my sister Callie got in a car accident and the paramedics told us it was a miracle she was alive. I have some ideas for my story but it will be hard to figure out which one to write and the incorporating the detail so it feels like everything is so real.
3. If I were to give a 10 year old advice about growing up in today’s world, I would tell them to not change themselves based on other people. From what I’ve learned and seen, some kids love to do rebellious things to be different and get attention. I think the people that are different are the ones who stay true to their values and beliefs and gain respect in a good way. Peer Pressure is a big issue and if you find a group of friends who share the same morals as you, you will be fine! Advice for school is to do your homework (especially starting in 9th grade). If you do your homework, that’s most of your grade right there and then the testing and quizzes will fall into place after that! :)

I hated writing stage directions too Natalie, it was not fun at all.
Wow, I had totally forgotten about Paige's accident. I was shocked when my mom told me about that (she lives down moorland from me), but I bet that would make a great topic for a personal essay if you were comfortable writing about it. It sounds really scary.
Doing homework is overrated, what are you talking about? hahah
Yeah bring confined to one set was extremely hard....and pretty much mentally retarted compare to a movie. You can capture so much more in a movie. That is why plays kinda sorta do absolutely suck. No offense mista miles.
You and I both on Paigeys experience...I still get sad to think that I almost lost sucha close close cousin and friend. I can't even imagine if I almost lost my sister....That is so cool how you have found a passion for the outdoors. Almost like an acquired taste, nature is in everyone. It is so hard in todays world to truly find peace anywhere but nature. It is like God's art, more beautiful and amazing than any human can create. Alot like art, it helps humans find self understanding and express themselves. We need nature/God in our lives as the base of our minds...If we act and live based off of that, we are able to live a more fulfilling and meaninful life. I feel (not being sexist) but especially behind edinas glamour it is hard to find a girl who understands nature's place in their lives....NP i guess you get it after all ;)
PS hw sucks more than plays.
the second word is being** not bring. duh.
I like your advice. The way you word it expresses it in ways I haven't really heard before.
It sounds like you have much to draw on for your personal essay. They all sound like they have potential for something interesting.
