Juice
This scene is broken into 4 sections, within it there are 3 characters; Donna, Rodney and Melissa-Anne. The first section of the scene was solely Donna explaining what was going on and the current situation of the party. The next section starred Melissa-Anne and Rodney; this was when they were waiting for Donna to pick them up, they were in Rodney’s bedroom. The following section was again of Donna and she was explaining to the audience that she had realized what was actually going on and also she started to compare herself to the present situation. This continued into the final section of the scene with all 3 characters in it. Donna was in the car with Rodney and Melissa and was talking to them about her personal experiences with alcohol and other existing issues. This scene was very important to the play because it was the set up for the party and hence Rodney’s death. It was also important because it gave an insight in to the relationship of Rodney and Melissa-Anne and showed that Donna wasn’t as responsible as she was initially made out to be.

In this scene Melissa-Anne seemed to be quite controlling and also devious. She was quickly able to take hold of what ever was happening and turn it around to suit her and what she wanted. She also seemed to have power over Rodney and could convince him to do nearly anything, without it seeming as though she pressuring him. Rodney seemed to be quite childish and pretends that he is rebellious. He makes out that he gets drunk to try and impress Melissa-Anne and then turns it into a joke when he realizes that he isn’t fooling her. He also acts like an idiot when he doesn’t understand something or just can’t handle being serious. Donna thought she was mature and responsible but in this scene it became semi-obvious that she wasn’t. She tried to play the “cool sister” by helping Melissa-Anne and Rodney sneak out but also tried to be serious by telling them a story about herself. This revealed that she was irresponsible and

    My group chose to perform seven scenes from the play. The beginning scene for our piece is looking at how the lack of money affected the children at that time, with children that were complaining they were hungry and that they didn’t have all they wanted and showing that the mother couldn’t do anything about it. We chose this scene to start our piece as it shows the audience straight away the time and place the whole play is set in. Mrs Johnston then does a small monologue about how she is coping and how difficult life would be with two more children on the way. I feel this scene allows me to demonstrate my acting ability as it is a monologue and I have to show a lot of emotion when performing it. The fourth scene shows how superstitious Mrs Lyons is and introduces the theme of superstition, which plays a major part throughout the original play. The ‘Our Sammy’ speech was included in our piece as it is a key moment within the text. The final scenes show Mickey and Eddie meeting and how Mrs Johnston reacts when she realises they are friends. We felt that these scenes would be suitable for our piece as the meeting of the two boys is very important to the play and the final scene, again, incorporates the theme of superstition.…

    One of Gatorade’s most noteworthy strength’s is its commanding share of the “active thirst” market, approximately 80%. (Portfolio.com) This makes Gatorade a cash cow for the Pepsi Company as growth is fairly calm. As evident by its impressive share of the market, Gatorade is an extremely popular brand and has outstanding brand recognition and loyalty. The company currently offers three lines of products: its Performance Series, Thirst Quencher, and Propel Fitness Water. The Performance Series appeals to athletes participating in demanding physical tasks and includes energy bars, nutrition shakes, specialized sports drinks, and energy drinks. The Thirst Quencher line offers the original Gatorade formula in a variety of flavors varying from the original flavors to morning flavors to Latin-inspired flavors. The Propel Fitness Water line offers an alternative to water drinkers who want a little more flavor and vitamins that water bottled water doesn’t have. All three of these lines combine to cover much of the sports drink market and beyond. Athletes need a way to refuel while they are engaging in their physical activities and Gatorade offers a solution. Unlike water, Gatorade drinks contain electrolytes that athletes lose when they sweat. Gatorade also has a wide array of flavors for consumers to choose from while water only has one. Most energy drinks are at least lightly carbonated and heavily caffeinated…

    On page 59, Sheila says, “… You turned the girl out of one job, and I had turned her out of another. Gerald kept her - at the time he was suppose to be too busy to see me. Eric - well, we know what Eric did.
