1. i found the play format over all to be neather frusterating or easy to use. i think that a play format makes it alot easyer for readers to understand the mood and the actions happening in the seen. but i also think that for the play is limited with its settings and its equipment used in the play. unlike a short story you are able to anything you plaese. the strengths i saw in the play format that i liked was that you are able to tell the actors what to do and then to do it. sutch as making an actor run across the stage and having them yell as they run. in a short story you can do this also but i feel like in the play format it is alot more clear as to what is happening. the most frusterating thing that i faced when writing the play was the format. i didnt liek that each actor needs their own ":" i got really tierd of putting those in every thime someone was going to talk. another thing that i didnt like about play formatting was putting the parenthaseez around the stage directions and the actor actions and then italicising it. but other than that i think that plays are alot more easy to read and understand what is going on.

2. i think the most improtat thing that i could tell a 10 year old would be just to be your self and express yourself. i think that most kids now days see trends going on and see siblings conform to them and not be who they should be. al through my schooling years i have spent alot of time trying to find myself, and i still am but i think that once you do find yourself that life is alot more enjoyable. i belive it all depends on the person on how they should express them selfs. i think that to give someone advise you need to realy have a good understanding of the person. i belive that the advise given to the person depends on there personality, thoughts, and choices. for instance, my little brother use to be the most quiest and shy person ever. so i started to encourage him and tell him that what other people think doesnt mean anything. now he is loud and makes a seen where ever he goes because everyones opinion means nothing to him because he isnt scared of expressing himself.

3. i think that great peices of litterature stay around for years because the authors were writing about real problems that were going on in their times and they used laguage that the read could understand and relaite to. i also think that the authors that writ sutch things offer new and improved styles of writing that people are not use to or maybe have never read before. i do not think that i could ever see myself writng something that could stay around for that long of a time period. i wouldnt consider myself as a strong writer but i think that i have a little bit of writnig skills. to be honset i really dont know how or why some of the peices that are hunderds of years old be considerd classics and are so widly looked up to.
