"Goodstudent Plays"

The most difficult part of this play as far as structuring was to make it consistent as far as character formation. In order to differentiate between the concept of a party and the literal existence of a phone for text messaging made it difficult to just call them by names when one is an idea and the other is a thing. It definitely took more time to write a very short story like this than if we had just written a narrative. At the same time, though, personalities are much easier to express by just acting. It definitely adds another dimension to the writer's arsenal and can definitely be used to persuade the audience much more. Personifying themes and representing them in a more humanistic manner makes things more real and believable. Narratives have to work extra hard to do that in most cases- but, like movies, it takes away some imaginative abilities for the audience as the director's imagination is in control.
