Abolishing Child Abuse

Child abuse...Doesn’t this word bring a disturbance to your soul? not just the word but the meaning .Yes this is one of the most disturbing and outrageous act, its similar to domestic violence and bullying .But it is done to a child a small innocent child and do you know who does this ?the parent or any adult. Let me share with you a poem about child abuse just to make you aware of the affects.

'Billy'

My name is  Billy
I'm only three,
My eyes are swollen
I cannot see,

I must be stupid
I must be bad,
What else could have
Made my daddy so mad?

I wish I were better
I wish I weren't ugly,
Then maybe my mommy
Would still want to hug me.

I can't speak at all
I can't do a wrong
Or else I'm locked up
All the day long.

When I awake
I'm all alone
The house is dark
My folks aren't home.

When my mommy does come
I'll try and be nice,
So maybe I'll get just
One whipping tonight.

Don't make a sound!
I just heard a car
My daddy is back
From Charlie's Bar.

I hear him curse,
My name he calls,
I press myself
Against the wall.

I try and hide
From his evil eyes,
I'm so afraid now
I'm starting to cry.

He finds me weeping,
He shouts ugly words,
He says its my fault
That he suffers at work.

He slaps me and hits me
And yells at me more,
I finally get free
And I run for the door.

He's already locked it
And I start to bawl,
He takes me and throws me
Against the hard wall.

I fall to the floor
With my bones nearly broken,
And my daddy continues
With more bad words spoken.

"I'm sorry!", I scream,
But its much too late.
His face has been twisted
Into unimaginable hate.

The hurt and the pain
Again and again.
Oh please God, have mercy!
Oh please let it end!

And he finally stops
And heads for the door,
While I lay there motionless
Sprawled on the floor.

Now this poem i hope summarized child abuse, it is a sad and emotional experience and unfortunately this act still occurs in every country across the world .This was my next assignment in my TV and film class to do a PSA (public service announcement) in a group on a topic we were passionate about so we picked child abuse .We picked this for two reasons one there was not enough awareness on this topic and two we had to let people know. For our performance we decided to do a human video with no speaking just actions and music .We decided to do this because its unique and we believe actions speak louder than words, it was a powerful act that summarized child abuse and how it is dealt. We also gave facts, told a story and did a slide show presentation. And this post is a PSA, here is a question do you know of someone that has been abused as a child or a child that is being abuse just remember don't be afraid speak up. And i have a challenge for you the reader go out and spread the news about child abuse .So stop the abuse...stop the abuse ....stop the abuse...Stop the abuser!!!

I know what you might be thinking what is this? well this was my project in TV and film.It was an assignment to  do a commercial on a specific product or place . and that up there was my lines for my commercial., It may not look like much and well..it isn't the only way you can forget theses lines is if you get nervous in front of the camera.Did i get nervous..yes! i was terrified , well it wasn't mostly the camera that made me nervous it was the fact that my entire TV and film class was staring at me and its very nerve crackling.Just imagine a room full of 26 people thats 52 eyes looking at you and the room is quiet and your on stage with the blinding lights in your face and you heart just beating as fast as a European sports car . And at that time its like every thing went into slow motion and then it happens you hear the word that will sting your ears .....action!!. Usually if you don't know action in stage term means begin the act , so as soon as i herd that word i just froze up and then the camera man had to cut and the next time i froze again and again , until i finally found the courage to say my lines and so i did.And as soon as i finished i was so relived and then my teacher said lets do another take at that time my body started to itch uncontrollably.But there was a reason for her wanting to do another take , she said that since i'm doing a commercial about sunglasses i should have more swag, ha more swag she said i am Orville the swag monster ,the swag king, the swag him self but when theirs 52 eyes looking at you including the cameras lenses i turn into the nervous wreck..But i did the other take and it went well i got a perfect score on my memories of my lines, so i would say it went better than i expected.But to summarize on that experience i would say it was not only nerve shackling it was a fun and a good experience , and i would do it again and maybe with more confidence the next time because this was my first time and i was nervous so the only thing good about that is ts hat i can only get better.So i'm looking forward to the next assignment and hope to do well on it even better than this one hopefully.

Defying Gravity

As you might know by now i go to Fletcher's Meadows secondary school in Brampton and my acting for TV and film class goes on allot of field trips .But this trip that we went on was like no other field trip I've ever been on this trip was to down town Toronto at the Eaton center .The Eaton center is a mall but you might be thinking what does a mall have to do with TV and Film well ...nothing were not on the trip to just go t6to the mall we are actually there to see the play Wicked . But i will touch upon the details of the show later on but for now lets just talk about the Eaton center .So the Eaton center is this huge mall filled with all different kinds of stores like; Victoria secret, Footlocker, Gap, Starbucks, KFC and much more .To some people a big mall with allot of people in it is kind of over whelming but unfortunately I’m one of those people, I get loss easily but it was a good thing we had to be in groups so no ones by them selves. we got to choose our groups so i chose my friends for obvious reasons .So we had fun looking around in stores and walking around then we stop to eat , it was just good safe fun .But at the time 12:45 we had to meat the class at the entrance at the mall so we could do attendance and get our seating tickets and then entered the theater .My first impression of the theater was wow this place is big it looked small from the out side but it was huge on the inside but very nice and well designed. So as we take our seats the play started and this was a live acting play not prerecorded live and it was called Wicked and it  basically the Wizard of OZ but like the true story, i know exciting. It was about a young witch named Elphaba  and how her life was growing up and how she became the wicked witch as you might know her in the Wizard of OZ .She was a special person or different if you will well because her skin was as green as grass , she was attending a school with her sister that is paralyzed and in a wheel chair and every one was judgmental of Elphaba and her sister . No one liked Elphaba not even her own father the only use she had to him was to protect her sister and be her transporter.Elphaba was placed with a very annoying room mate named Glinda  AKA the good witch they dint get along very well , and there was allot of tension between the two .Glinda was the popular one and Elphaba was the outcast so there is a huge gap between the two , but later on in the story the teacher saw something special in Elphaba and enrolled her in sorcery class and Elphaba recommended that Glinda would be also included in the class , so from that day they both decided to become friends they can teach each other new stuff  . And then came the handsome Fiyero the man that is always on the search for fun , and Galinda had her eyes set for him .Then later on in the story a crisis was at fold the animals could no longer talk and they were being caged .Fiyero and Elphaba was out raged by this act and they soon found them selves falling in love ,But then one day Glinda and Elpaba had a call from the almighty wizerd of Oz himself to help .The two girls rushed to assist the wizard in  his time of need but Elpaba was the only one worthy as she had the ability to read spells.But she then found out that the wizard of Oz was going to use her to run the town by fear and soon realizing that Elphaba fled to an hideout .And she was consider an evil soul and was hunted to be killed .She made appearances to see people she loved and help them with her new found powers but the more good she does the more she was sent after by the wizard .Her most helpful thing she had done for some one was casting g a spell on her sister so she is able to walk for the first time .Then the wizard got mad and stop looking for her and had a plan to draw her out , he summoned a storm that shatterd time and brought a girl in a house crashing down unto Elphab's sister and then gave the girl inside Elphabas sisters magic shoes .By hearing what has happened to her sister Elphaba got enraged and vowed never to do good again and was to become wicked.Fast forwarding to the end were we all know what happened , the guard threw water on the wicked witch and she mealted and everyone was rejoiced that she was dead but that was not the end.the scare crow that we all know but actually is Fiyero came back to the seen where the Elphaba died and shouted’ It worked' and poof Elphaba emerged from the ground, she cast a spell on herself to appear to vanish to trick the people that she was no more This was like the heart striking hit of the play cause in  the movie she was dead but this showed what actually happened. If i were to rate this movie out of ten i would give it a fourteen it when beyond my expectations the singing was mind blowing , the actors were outstanding , the effects were magnificent it was just so properly put together and it was worth every dime and i would recommended you to go and see it .Now i will share with you my favorite par of the entire play and it was the singing section called defying gravity , this section was just so powerful and just so beautiful that i felt like crying i was literally fighting back the tears. What this song means to me is to never let anything or anybody hold you down and defy the odds and rise above the rest .
