rozas journey to england

 Its dark, so dark I'm wondering if I've gone blind or will I ever see daylight again. If I do see light again it won't be the same it won't be Iraq's light it will be England's. the air is full of fumes and food that's being transported, just like me. The difference is its supposed to be here, I'm not. I can hear boxes rattling and the sound of a plane driver somewhere near as the plane shakes I hold on to the edges of the bag that I've been stuffed inside of. I've never been on a plane, before now and technically this isn't a proper plane because there are no seats or windows. But its worth it because although I might deny it I do want to go to england yeah wow when I think about it its crazy that tomorrow I could, hopefully, be wallking around london with the queen, well maybe not the queen but wow. A lot of people ask me why I want to go but all I can think is why would I want to stay in a place where I have no family and I'm not safe. They say home is where your heart is and mine is not with iraq, maybe its not with england either but I may as well see. I think all these things whilst I sit here in this bag thinking just thinking. And then I hear it, the sound that allowed me to breathe out I breath I felt like I'd been holding forever, the sound of the wheels connecting with the ground, a new ground and hopefully a safe ground.

rozas christmas

Christmas is the worst time here because Christmas is all about family and giving. But were all just stuck here with no family and the kids here aren't the kind that would give. The dinner is cooking downstairs this is the only time of year people don't fight over the food because no one can injure the managers dried turkey or what ever meat it is he's claiming to be turkey.

The presents we get are donated not ones we've asked for or want like every other child, there not wrapped up with bows or in nice paper there in shoe boxes that are collected in schools.

Everyone will get called downstairs in a moment to watch a speech by a queen that isn't the queen of where were from but of the people in England and she will talk about the people in England who are English not the ones that have escaped here and miss home.

Thoughts, feelings and appearance exercise

I found this exercise very useful in understanding my character because I was able to go through the script and work out how my character may be feeling or what she may be thinking when saying a line. This allowed me to think about how I would then channel this thoughts and feelings into my delivery of that line.

Also I did some of the exercise with willa who is also playing roza. This allowed us to think about how we were going to act as roza so we could make our versions of the roll similar.
