• The distancing effect, more commonly known (earlier) by John Willett’s 1964 translation the alienation effect or (more recently) as the estrangement effect (German: Verfremdungseffekt), is a performing arts concept coined by playwright Bertolt Brecht. Brecht first used the term in an essay on “Alienation Effects in Chinese Acting” published in 1936, in which he described it as “playing in such a way that the audience was hindered from simply identifying itself with the characters in the play. Acceptance or rejection of their actions and utterances was meant to take place on a conscious plane, instead of, as hitherto, in the audience’s subconscious”.my scene was about recruitedments couldn’t training properly or following instructions for example I wasn’t doing push ups properly. The general was shouting at us and trying to make us work harder then he made us stand up in a line but we couldn’t do it then the scene ended

Talk about how the character of the FOREMAN would be performed according to his motivation and objectives.
The Forman’s motivation would be fear . He knows that if he didn’t get the work done in time he’d die. The Forman is the head of the building operation but still a builder himself . But because he’s the head and in charge it’s his fault if the wall isn’t build in time . So he only wants to finish the wall to get paid and keep on breathings as if the wall isn’t ready in time he’s dead . I would portray the foreman as a person who moves a lot and rushing his men to working . As well as nervous and scared around his superiors . I would hope that the audience would think of him as a jumpy character never relaxing and always moving . Hopefully they would learn from the scene that he is worried , scared and anxious

1.”the climb was over the only place to go was down” the suggest that it was to hard to go higher on the mountain.

“the climb was steep and so exposed it made my head spin” this suggest that the mountain is too steep and it makes him reflect on life as a whole because he could be dead in one second.

“all that held me to the world, were two thin spikes of chrome molybdenum stuck half of inch into a smear of frozen water .” This suggest that he’s near death one slip and it could be game over.

2. Jon krakauer describes the feeling of danger by saying how he forgets everything eles like “unpaid bills” or the “cramping thighs” this suggest that he is so focuses on climbing and not falling he forgets about everything else and all his problems.

In our scene we had me billy Henry ibby and lis we decided to have billy and Henry sitting down acting as posh people. There act was to spill tea in there cloths by accident and billy and Henry made a really big fuss about it. But in the other part of the split scene is where Ibby and lis was sitting in the trenches and was scoping them out with a sniper. I shot ibby and there was blood everywhere but no one made a big fuss about it. This tells the audience that there was a contrast between life as a rich man at home and life as a man in the battlefield. It tells the audience that rich people made a big fuss over nothing when there was men fighting a war and seeing there friends die in battle and not make any fuss about it. The audience could see this because when lbby got shot by me no one made a fuss about it and everyone got on with there war. We used the spit scene to compare the difference between rich men at home and men that are fighting a war in the battlefield.

Walt has white and black hair.

Walt wears a beard on his face.

Walt wears wire rimmed glasses.

Walt shows that he is feeling emotional because of his expressions for exsample he gazes blankly which suggest he’s emotional.

Walt resents his sons actions because Walter says Christopher caused his parents so much pain so this suggest he is hurt.

You can tell Walt is mourning his sons death because he says the “hardest part” “is not having him around no more” so this suggest he is really hurt because his son abandoned his own family and ran away.

He shows an air of authority because it says he’s high up in the ranks of his arcane field an advanced technology called synthetic aperture. This suggest he’s respected because it’s hard to get where he is.

Walters work effects his relationship with his family because he’s not around as much when he’s working “it was a stressful existence. Both Walt and billie are tightly wound, emotional, loath to give ground. Now and then the tension erupted in verbal sparring.” It effects his relationship with his family because he’s getting in arguments with his wife.

i don’t disagree or agree with the statement that Walt is a bad father because he had a ex wife they broke up because he wasn’t earning enough money. But he was a good father because he cared about Christopher
