I felt like our group did a great job of performing our scene. I feel like everyone did a great job of  memorizing their lines. Everybody did a good job of showing good emotion and knowing where they needed to be on the stage. As I was watching our video one thing that I really liked about our performance was the physical interactions between the characters. This was shown when it was the first scene with Yun and Josh where they were arguing and Yun was poking Josh and Josh hit his hand away. This was incorporated into the performance because we realized that a good way to show a characters emotion was by physical contact. I also did the same thing that Josh did in my first scene with Yun where I was given the two options on if I should work at the sugar mill or go to school. One of the strengths that I felt our group had was chemistry on stage. When we were performing it was easy to show emotions of angry or sad or happy because our group did that naturally. One of the weaknesses that I saw from the video was that in scene 8 with Josh, Yun and I. It was very easy to tell that we were trying not to laugh on the stage. We ended up getting through the scene without messing up but because we had to hold back our laughter, it effected our ability to perform our scene. Also, in scene 10 when Helen dies and I go out and find her, Helen was dead but she was moving in the scene. So Helen was supposed to stab herself and die and I was supposed to replace the knife with a flower and the book that Little Guy had for his schooling. During this transfer I messed up and did not put the book in the right place and because of this Helen moved her hand. I would say that it was my fault that she had to move. I really liked the way our performance of ended where Guy and Lili are reunited back together. I felt like this was the perfect ending to show them back together again because they know that their son is safe. Overall I felt like our group did a great job in our performance.
