Life is dull, only drama is colourful.

Hello! I was just thinking, you know, like pre-exam nerves.
And i thought of what was going to be on stage. And i realized that each object had a symbolism behind it. I have about 5 other posts not up but i feel like posting this one here first. (It's pure sloth to type in microsoft word that's why. other times i dont have internet when i want to post my posts)
The items on stage and the symbols!
1) Newspapers - Reality (shows reluctance to indulge in reality when they are torn)
2) Potatochips - escapism (Shows running from pressure of doing work)
3) Homework - obsession (My character is surviving on doing homework to get away from his shattered dreams)
4) Ladder - Symbolic of the pains and obstacles my character went through, only to get his dreams shattered.
5) Smashed plate glued together - symbolic of the broken dreams that my character has, seemingly put together to form one whole dream again.
6) trophies and certificates - achievements of my character in the past.
7) Books - symbolic of the people he tries to go to for answers but give him none.
the positions of my set are also symbolic.
Most of my set is at the back, with pictures of movies, playstation and a rugby ball. The stage is artistically divided into the front and the back, showing the transition in time. When my character was young, he used to love all these things, now they are cast to the back of his room while he only focuses on books and newspapers in the front of the stage.
The tall sets with piles of books everywhere are symbolic of the oppressive atmosphere the character lives in - the oppression caused by his dreams which never come true.
Hence, with this journal entry i've realized that i have many sybols on stage, my only hope is that the audience can see it in such a short time...
ciao
