Life is dull, only drama is colourful.

The next few days after we decided to renew our performance to take on a separate, more human involved approach, we did not meet up or discuss much about the performance.
We began by saying we would want a narrative introduction with a Goddess and the President competing for the support of the people. This would then show the struggle between modernization and religion there and then. However, this idea was scrapped as it was relatively boring and there could be more interesting aspects to look at. Moreover, the excessive characterization and involving another theme would make the performance even more complicated.
Most of our talks were present during our corridor conversations and talking whilst lessons were going on about our performance.
With the hope of putting up a better performance, i decided to build the foundation of the performance on the background of it all. Hence I started to find causes and reasons for the situation that was occuring - war. As well as the background of the family.
Following that, I planned an interview with my social studies and the school's history teacher (HOD for humanities) to understand the concept of war even better.
I also dedicated my free time to finding a link between the president and the family as well as the background of the family.
The interview has not yet occurred, however, the backgrounds are clarifying.
The president would be a two faced man.
He would be the father of Pluto, Suzy's family's youngest daughter.
He met Suzy when he lost his previous wife and was looking for a grave for her.
Hence he would be the father figure in the family and yet the evil president as well.
Suzy's family would be more complex. She has lost 3 husbands to war and the president is the longest husband she has had.
This would be the basis on which we would further investigate the relationships between the family.
As for the reason for war, it was still not clear and we couldnt think of anything yet.
One thing's for sure. The President is no longer the short, stubby and squeaky old man he used to be. Now, he is evil and two faced. A new character has surfaced.
