What a “bird”! I like the “bird” in Peter’s tableaux, even though the bird is not important to the story.
Tableaux give me a new cognition of performance. In other words, I like the way to study stories. I did not clearly understand the main points of The Veldt after I read it. As a matter of fact, I have no interest in this story.
I can pay more attention at the story by taking a tableau. This is why I like tableaux. We opened our mind when we were preparing, and lighted our passion when we were taking our tableaux. For example, if Miss. Yu gives a long story to Max, and say:” Max, this is what are we going to do today, read it now!” Max’s idea is self-evident, he will not read it, and he will waste his time. Sorry Max! This is just an example. Hence, study in tableaux can help some student willing to study and including me.
In the end, I hope we could have more tableaux than long…long…long…stories.

Hm... I will disagree with you about the vulture (or bird) being not important in the scene. It is, in fact, an important part of the story. Vultures are also known as predators (like the lions) but they usually eat the dead animals (carcasses). This is often because they can smell the blood and the death. When we see the vultures in the beginning of the story, it shows the "time" of the dead "prey". It means that the lions have finished eating and the vultures are sweeping in to "clean up" the mess. When we see the "vulture droppings" in the first scene, this suggests that the vultures have digested their food. When we see vultures swooping down in the next scene, we know that they have not eaten yet. And when we see vultures hovering above the scene, we know that something has "just" died. Therefore, we can use vultures to symbolize the time of death.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, haha, we will be studying LONGER stories...but hopefully we'll be able to break them down into easier and manageable parts. =)
