3 questions

What change Lorenzo from only care about himself to try his best to help his sister?

What shows you from Lorenzo's faint in Chapter 4?

What kind of person is Lorenzo's mother?

Summary of the twist

Lorenzo's day start with a scary phonecall which is actually from his step sister but not his mother. She come to the cellar to find the staff she have before she left. Although Lorenzo try as hard as he can to hide, he is still found by his stepsister. She soon notice that Lorenzo afraid of other people to notice where he is hiding, so she use this to threaten Lorenzo to let her stay in the cellar for one night. Also Lorenzo found out some secret from his stepsister's staff and there's a connection gradually found between he and his stepsister.

Lorenzo's sister

From the book, we know that Lorenzo's sister is 23 years old. She was a very beautiful girl two years ago. However, now she become too skiny, sick and homeless. I think she is a very sel-important girl. We can see from she reject the help from her father. She has a really bad relationship with her father. Also she is a really smart girl. She use the weakness of Lorenzo and let her get into the cellar.

A short reaction

The book starts with a 24 years old man's flash back about a "skiing plan" happened ten years ago. To tell you the truth, it doesn't  attract any of my interests from the first several page about a 24 years "old" man. However, it starts to get exciting and interesting when the young man decide to skip the skiing plan and go back to his house by himself without telling anyone. He hide in the basement with everything he prepared to spend his whole weekend. It starts to become interesting to me because I like stories with twist and adventure, but not telling a story in one order. As you can see, I think this book is not boring at all!

A Fantastic Show

“At 25th Annual Putnam Country Spelling Bee, my parents keep on telling me~~” As the familiar the song being sung, I know my experience at drama in winter season is done.I walk straight to the stage, bow and listen to the compliment and encouragement which is given to all the people who participate in the show from my English, Writing and Drama teacher--Ms. Guarino; At that time, I conjecture I am going to have the feeling of free and being released; I can spent my lovely afternoon in my doom to read and playing with my laptop. I don’t need to spend anymore time in the black box theater where I used to get out of as soon as my work is done. However, an opposite feeling appears like flood crash though my heart. It is a feeling contains sadness, regret and reminiscent. Maybe I am not ready for the end of the show which comes too quick and pass by me before I notice. 

Although I never have chance to watch the show completely, from the corner of the backstage, every time during the practice I know every part of the show; I remember the order of the songs and I even can sing with it. Therefore, I have the rights to make a comment of the show. In my opinion the show is perfect, everyone participate in it try as hard as they can to make it perfect. My job during the show is selling food during intermission and changing the background scene for act two. It sounds easy, but I want to say that it is really cold to sit in front of the door in Gym at night and you should have a nimble hand to change the scene before the audience see you. Also I am in charge of carry food and music instruments to the black box theater. Though all the part I have done in drama, my favorite part is helping actors practice as an audience member. I need to spell cow and dance in the song called “Pandemonium”. It is interesting to me to see how actor react to the world I got and the feeling of attending is also good to me. To talk more about this play, I want to say that it fits perfect to a saying which is “Ten minutes of stage, stage takes ten years.” What behind the fantastic show is all the time and passion we spend in the play, so I clap every time at the end of the play and give a thumbs-up and high five after the actors get out of the stage. 

The only things I feel bad about the show is, we should have more number of times to perform at least more than three. During the show I ask Andrew how he feels about the end of the drama season. He told me that he is happy to have free time in the afternoon, but also the sadness which we only perform 3 times. I can tell it is best show I have ever had in my life, although I only participate in one show :). Clap for everybody who participate in the show!!
