Here's the script from our final performance (Prianna Pathak, Karina Siu, Summer Han, Sarah Bristow). A lot of it was ad-libbed (at least on my part) and we all came up with our own real thoughts from these situations. (Thank you Prianna for typing up the script!!!)

It's been a lovely journey, everyone. Thank you all so much!!!

Anne reads Bingquing’s post about human nature

Summer: I don’t agree. I think people are born good not evil!

Anne: What is evil?

Prianna: Well in Parable of the Sower I think the addicts are evil. I mean they’re burning down housse and killing people with out any good reason, unlike lauren who is killing people to protect her friends and herself.

Sarah: talks about perspective and situation

Summer: Are they evil for choosing to use the drugs then?

Prianna: we just keep raising more questions instead of answering them!

Summer: Its turtles all the way down!

Scene 7

Anne: What are you writing about for this week’s essay?

Prianna: Well iw as thinking because I may continue with psych next yeartaht I would continue looking into the brain, more specifically the unconscious mind, and its role in education. I would cover topics such as how we can use it more effectively in both teaching and learning. How teachers can utilize their creative unconscious so as not to diminish the students creativity and use their intuition more.

Anne: You seem to be really invested in this topic, it sound great!
