Although it was his turn to order, Nora notice that he had suddenly turned around and left the queue. He walked away empty-handed. Nora was suspicious. This made her curious. She needed to talk to Liming to find out what was wrong.

    “It’s time for lunch!” the teacher announced. Candide was quite confused, as the clocked seemed to read 11:00 PM. He was very impressed with the teacher’s tremendous analytical proficiency, for she could figure out what time it was, even though the clock was clearly not accurate. As the loud and droning sound of the bell rang, all the children ran out of the classroom as soon as they could. “How fantastic! I can’t wait to taste the mystical delicacies of Diamond Bar High School!” Candide fought his way through the crowd, but eventually reached the lunch line. Standing in the hot sun, Candide squinted as he struggled to read the lunch menu. “Special: week-old rice with a side of mystery meat emulsion” caught Candide’s eye. Candide’s mouth watered with delight as his eyes feasted upon those words. He couldn’t wait through the long line, so he walked past ten people in front of him, stood next to an unsuspecting individual, and made a new friend. As soon as he received his food, he exclaimed, “This is fantastic, this is what I have been waiting all that time for! It looks too good to eat.” Candide stared down at his tantalizing and healthful meal as he picked it up and took a bite. “Amazing! This is the most enjoyable flavor I have ever had the pleasure of tasting! There is nothing I admire more than a pungent and flavorful mix of rubber and…

    It was cold, on that November morning. Knowing that, I pulled on my coat and mittens and threw a scarf in my bag along with my vintage Polaroid camera and sketchbook. I ran out the door, knowing exactly where I was going. I sprinted the few blocks to the old trailer factory, my bag flopping against my side. Once I got there, I stopped to catch my breath. I was frozen, today being 39 degrees and all. Maybe, I thought, leggings weren’t the best idea today. I thought back to my warm home, my slippers, my flannel pajamas. But no, I needed inspiration for my next project. I had major creative blockage and decided to go look at the graffiti in the abandoned trailer factory. At that exact moment, I remembered I forgot my flashlight at home. I didn't…

    In the midst of what seemed like the perfect marriage, Nora realized how imperfect it really was and figured out what was best for her even if it meant her giving up all she had. This imperfection starts to settle in while she was talking with and old friend, Ms.Linde, in act one. By the beginning of Act two she has come to the full conclusion of her unhappiness and resolved to kill herself. This idea changed to a less dramatic ending of her just leaving her family behind, which would cost her everything but at the same time it was happy because she comes to the realization through her actions that she has been treated as a doll for her whole life first by her father then later by her husband and has never been taken seriously. When her husband finds out about her illegal deeds to save his life and lashes out, it hits her with full force that what they have is all imaginary. This may seem sad, her leaving her children and lifestyle, but it is good because she realizes she is independent and ready to be treated as if she was her own person and not a doll with no real purpose or power other than to be played with.…
