Having a blank slate in which to create characters, bring them together, make their bonds strong, set them out into the most beautiful of landscapes, have the most spectacular situations fall into their laps. Writing a story has always been fun to me. If I wrote about something I enjoyed I could put it to paper with tremendous speeds. I always jumped at the opportunity to write a story for a project in class as well. I wrote a massive amount of lyrics throughout my studies at high school. Since then I wrote poetry and music lyrics. The judge said “I’m sure one day that you’re going to grow up to become a poet!” I received second place due to the fact that I describe scenes of beauty in nature in a very detailed matter. I specifically remember back in 5th grade, that I entered a “Why I Am Proud To Be An American” writing contest. I’m an aspiring writer and have been writing for the past 8 years of my life.

Tom Scutt's split-level set, with a Corinthian palace above and a dark forest below, seems too palpably symbolic of the play's division between public and private worlds. The production's moral ambivalence extends to the Athenian king, Aegeus, who offers Medea sanctuary: as played by Dominic Rowan, he is both a benign altruist and a cautious diplomat anxious not to offend the Corinthian ruling class.įor all its psychological astuteness, the production has one or two oddities. The point is also clearly made that the play is as much his tragedy as hers, so that when Medea tells Jason "we are as wretched as each other", it is true. Michaela Coel's Nurse, in her opening speech, describes Jason as "a demon, a he-devil" in Danny Sapani's performance, however, he is less an obvious ogre than a politician who uses sophistry to justify his abandonment of Medea. It is a reading that prevents the play from being a simplistic apologia for an abused woman. "My heart is wrenched in two," McCrory announces at one point and throughout, her Medea switches, with brilliant volatility, from the manipulative to the murderous to the unpredictably humane. *Katie originally inserted foot in mouth at this point but has removed it. Katie: Valentine is described as classy and Creole, tall, thin, witchy and the possessor of an amazing shoe collection. This leads Finnie to New Orleans and to a witch residing in the French Quarter named Valentine. So Finnie travels, swims with sharks, bungee jumps and basically lives her life like some National Geographic Explorer host.īut, as orphans are wont to do, she misses her parents and wishes she could trade it all in for a chance to see them again. Her parents died when she was young but not before imparting onto their daughter their sense of wanderlust and adventure – along with a healthy inheritance with which to fund the aforementioned traits. Patty: Seoafin (“Finnie” to her friends, and thank God because my brain cannot even begin to know how to pronounce that) is an adventure-seeking, fearless, embrace-life kinda chick. That said, this is definitely one of her better attempts in spite of being 30% longer than it really needs to be. The heroine is ultra femme, but kick ass, while the hero is prone to some grunting and physically moving the heroine around where he wants her to be. In others, it’s one of her typical books. There are witches, elves, talking animals, magic spells and instances of body swapping. It’s got a strong fantasy theme designed to appeal to geek girls who like romance. Katie: In some ways, the first installment in Kristen Ashley’s Fantasyland Series is a bit of a departure for her. For more, visit The Model Health Show ().

Brooke Kalanick are here to share the science behind being hangry. On this episode, I’m joined by not one, but two incredible guests! Sarah Fragoso and Dr. Controlling your hanger starts with understanding what’s physiologically happening in your body. While hanger is a real emotion, it’s not necessarily something you should be experiencing on a regular basis. Just because certain experiences and symptoms are prevalent in our culture doesn’t mean that they’re ideal.įor instance, well-known commercials insinuate that hanger (being so hungry that you become angry) is a common, laughable state of being. When it comes to managing your health and finding a nutrition approach that works best for your body, it’s important to remember that what’s common and what’s normal are two different things. |
