Mr Faust Narrative
After realizing Bailey’s distress about forgetting her script, Mr. Faust did his best to alleviate her fears by immediately finding her. He calmed her down by reassuring Bailey that there would be no yelling. When asked if Mr. Faust has ever yelled during practice, Bailey answered,
“Not anyone on stage, no. But sometimes, if the people who offstage get too loud, he’ll kinda look over his shoulder and say, in a kinda big voice, “People offstage need to be quiet.” It’s like he’s reminding them that they’re supposed to take things seriously, while at the same time having some fun with it.”
Mr. Faust has expectations for his students, and as long as people follow those expectations, he’s a goofball with no objections to some fun. He makes jokes with the students and laughs

Other people were pacing as well, but Dan stood out. He kept taking his soft brown leather looking jacket and flipping it inside out so the fluffy interior was on the outside. We watched him pace; he had a wooden, faded silver sword and it swayed in his hand as he took his jacket on and off repetitively. At one point he smelled his jacket for no apparent reason. His fidgeting was arrested when it became his turn to act. Bailey and Mr. Faust asked him to pause, and teased him “Each time you run your lines you keep saying them faster and faster.” Bailey even said she wrote about it in her notes and Dan, with a big grin and laugh yelled, “Really?? You wrote it in your notes?” In the play, Dan plays Bottom who later gets turned into a donkey that Madeline falls in love with because she was tricked. Somebody brought out an origami donkey head for him to wear, and told everyone, “This is a prototype, be careful, don’t purposely destroy it but if it gets ruined it’s not a big deal.” Dan proceeded to put the donkey head on, and passionately and effectively recited his lines. Bailey described Dan to us in an

    Bottom shows concern for others when he announced to his workmates “a lion among the ladies is a most dreadful thing”. This shows Bottom worrying about fellow beings and looks after them to make sure that everyone is looked after and safe. He also is a very good problem solver as he can be a very useful teammate such as when he exclaimed “I have a device to make all well.” This shows he addresses the worry that the ladies and children will think that the killing is real, so he comes up with the idea to write a prologue. He is also knowledgeable in the theatre business such as when he advises Quince “I will discharge it in either your straw-colour beard, your orange-tawny beard”. This shows he knows a little about costumes meaning he has experience in theater before this is helpful for his workmates as his knowledge will definitely be useful.…

    He calls Bottom "the shallowest thick-skin of that barren sort" (3.2.13) when he applies the ass 's head. Puck is Shakespeare, doing what he will with the characters, naming them, making them what he wants them to be, ridiculing them at will. Puck is one layer removed from the play, able to step outside it. He sees himself as both the audience and the actor: "What, a play toward? I 'll be an auditor; / An actor too, perhaps, if I see cause" (3.1.68-69). Like Shakespeare, Puck is behind and outside the play as well as inside it. By his ability to be both audience and player, Puck collapses the boundaries between play and reality. Shakespeare as both playwright and actor does the…

    Before Maxine yells at her family, she describes her vocal cords as "taught to snapping." She tries to tell her mother a confession every day, perhaps to ease her vocal cords off slowly and gradually, but when her mother tells her she doesn't want Maxine to continue telling her secrets each night Maxine stops. As she grows increasingly frustrated at her situation, the man sitting in the laundry comes in and sets her over the edge. She says, "One night when the laundry was so busy that the whole family was eating dinner there, crowded around the little round table, my throat burst open. I stood up, talking and burbling"(200-201). By describing her patience breaking as her throat bursting open, it emphasizes the extent to which Maxine feels she needs to use her voice. She describes her actions as "talking and burbling," creating the sense that she is overflowing with words, unsure of exactly where they will lead her as more and more come out. In finally saying what she needs to say to her family, Maxine shows that she is no longer the silent girl, similar to the one from her school. In kindergarten, Maxine does not speak to anyone and does not feel the need to. However, as Maxine grows older she shows that she now feels as though she cannot wait another moment silently because she has so much to say. Maxine becomes outspoken and loud, instead of silent and submissive, something that angers her mother, yet relieves Maxine. Maxine's outburst in which her "throat [bursts] open" shows that as Maxine grows up and becomes her own person, she makes a shift from the old customs of her Chinese family to the customs of the new world of America, which isolates herself from her parents and their adherence to…
