The funny, but little childish Snow White





The Art Festival of NFLS and GCA was held at the end of December, 2008. Every class should have at least one performance to show others. After the long time of discussion among classmates, we decided to present a play which I did not like very much – our class’s own version of Snow White.

On the cafeteria of our school, there is an assembly hall. (I did not know that when I started to go to the school first.) All of the performances – not only GCA’s ones, but also NFLS’s ones – should be showed there.

Because of my introspective character, I do not like taking a public performance; so of course, I do not want to play the leading part of the performance, too. I played the role of hunter – one of the supporting actor of the story – who was ordered to kill Snow White by the queen, but let her run away. The person who is on the left side of the small picture is me. This scene is the part that the hunter comes to kill Snow White and Snow White asks the hunter to let her go.

Generally, I do not like this performance. It was not serious enough or funny enough; it was half-done. Also, I thought it was little childish. We are Grade 10 now. How do we still play children’s tales? Third, the preparation for the show was too little. For example, the gun which I have in the small picture is a gun made by a team when we did the Happy Trash project, and then, there were only two clothes for the queen and Snow White; most of us wore our own clothes. I hope we can improve the conditions when we take part in the nest Art Festival.
