The Jabberwocky
Today we did not play any games. However, we did visit wonderland. At least a poem from wonderland, called The Jabberwocky. After taking a few turns to read the poem by Lewis Carol, and having a few spacey moments here and there, we set forth to decide what The Jabberwocky would be for our performance. We were put into groups of six and then we started brainstorming. We through some ideas here and there, things like poverty. But finally me being the genius that I am, we came up with love. The poem from Alice in Wonderland was about a monster. The poem talked about the scenery using portmanteaus like mimsy that were used to describe a happy scenery. Some of the other things were bandersnatch and jubjub bird, which were creatures within this magical environment. As soon as we got what our idea was going to be we started placing things around. The idea of love was not going to be the type that you see in the movies, where boy meets girl etc. Instead we were going to portray love as a monster, the 'Jabberwocky,' something to beware of. So The Jabberwocky was love, the bandersnatch was going to snatch lorenzo who was the lovestruck victim into love. The jubjub bird was the distraction or the actual love, which would be played by margaux and sarah. The father who was the guide to make sure lorenzo didn't fall in love was to be played by mohamed and the vorpal sword which was the defence against love was to be played by omar. After assigning the parts we developed how the story would go. The first stanza was an intro, the second stanza would be about the father warning the son about love. The third and fourth stanza would be about the son coming across love and being distracted by it. The fifth and sixth stanza would be about the vorpal sword fighting off the love, and then the father congratulating his son. The seventh stanza would be a repeat and a close to the performance. Once we had our storyboard we were prepared to start the next lesson.
