Free write

My free write is going to be about The Walking Dead. Around last summer I started watching the Walking Dead because everybody was talking about and I wanted to see what the hype was all about. So one day AMC was having a marathon so I thought it would have been the perfect time to start watching and ever since then I've been hooked! The Walking Dead TV show is about like the world having an epidemic of zombies that killed a lot people. The people who survived go through a lot while trying to stay alive because they have Walkers (zombies) and Humans trying to kill them. The only character I don't like is The Governor from last season because he is crazy and has a vendetta against Rick (one of the main characters) and Mischone (another main character). Before the Govner dies he goes to "War" with Rick's group and they live in the prison which has been their only stable home for a long time. During the war The Govner ruins the prison and kills people in ricks group.The Govner has been in the show for 3 seasons and I wish that they would just kill off his character and I got my prayers answered during the season 4 owhen the governor got killed I was so happy. But I was also sad because before the governor died he messed up the prison (the good people live in the prison) so now nobody can live there.One of the people The Govner killed was Hershel and he was a the level headed person of the group the foundation for everybody but now they don't have that person anymore. I like this show because it has a suspenseful and good story line. Season 5 Just recently went off season but the writers of the walking dead is supposed to be coming out with another show called The Fear of the Walking dead and I cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BAM

Over the past month or so we have been working with an instructor from BAM in my English class.Sorry I can't not remember what what that stands for. Anyway our teachers name was McCray but asked us to call him WT and he was a nice guy. He taught us a few acting tricks and helped us prepare ourselves to preform excerpts from Midsummer Night Dream by William Shakespeare. We did exercises like Yosemite which is like Simon say but we used characters from the book to call out and action. We also did vocal exercises to warm up our voices to so that we could project them when preforming. My class preformed the Mechanicals part which the play within the play and I think we did pretty good. The other class did a scene where Lysander,Demetrius,Hermia and Helena were arguing. I really liked there's because the put an urban spin on it. When we visited BAM the building had cool structures and they feed us a lot of pizza and cupcakes which was nice. We also got the chance to play one last Yosemite with both classes put together and it was fun. When I entered Ms.Hegeman's English class I did not expect to be participating in an activity like Bam but I liked it.
