so today in English class, we decided that instead of wearing our own 'Scarlet Letters', we were going to make a remake of the book for our age group instead. of course, we had to change practically everything in the book except for the plot. so we decided:
that Hester Prynne was going to be in an abusive relationship with Dimmsdale, who is the resident smart-athletic-good-looking-popular person. Dimmsdale gives Hester a pearl (get it? you know, like Pearl in the story?) choker in the beginning of their relationship, which Hester wears everyday. because of Dimmsdale, Hester slowly goes from being an outgoing, happy, successful person to being an introvert that only interacted with who her boyfriend said she could, namely him. one day for yearbook pictures, Hester is walking up to the stage in the auditorium (because that's where pictures are taken) and trips. the necklace falls off, revealing finger marks around her throat. everyone questions her, and she, out of fear or 'love', doesn't tell anyone who is hurting her, thus alienating herself from others. Chillingworth is an ousted friend that suspects Dimmsdale is the root of the problem, and does stuff to find out. the Governor is a concerned but distracted teacher that is rather ineffective all-in-all, and leaves halfway through the school year/investigation.
my friend in English (the one with the creepygoofymonotone boyfriend who is also in the class) wants to be Hester, but is not sure that the role fits her. i agree, she seems too strong a person to be able to pull off the complete hopelessness of a victim. no matter how good her acting is. actually, i was thinking about auditioning for Hester myself. remember what i said about my comfort zone, Rachel? (it's about the size of a normal envelope, for those who weren't there), yeah, this is me stepping FAR beyond it. if i don't chicken out and not audition. make sure i do it, ok? i want to be more outgoing, even if it's just for a school project.
and guess what? WE HAVE CAREER FAIR TOMORROW! yup, that's right kids, we miss first period to dress up nice and hand uninterested potential employers copies of our 'resumes'! yaaaayyy! (can you sense the sarcasm here?) on the plus side, it gets me out of chemistry. on the minus side, it gets me out of bugging ___, who is in my chemistry class. the one who sits in front of me, Rachel. he's fun to annoy...
BUT! Dr. Dodson, my Biotech teacher, is coming! she's going to talk about her career as a scientist (pre-teaching), and said that i have to see her. of course, i would anyway, but it's nice to be TOLD to.
