Overview of Story (Week 4)

Scene 1:

Brother is very hard working and gets good results for everything. He gets bursaries and scholarships. Mother is very proud of him, she always boast to her friends about how smart her son is. Main Character is very bad in her studies. She gets very low marks and thus always ends up in the last few position for test and exams. It is not because she doesn’t want to study, but she just can’t get it. Mother is ashamed of her and every time the mother’s friends asked about her daughter’s result, she will try to change the topic.

Scene 2:

Main Character is angry, upset and disappointed that her mother is so bias against her. Her brother is always the priority. She can never be the same as her brother. Mother will get fed up when she see Main Character. Everything the brother say is correct and true, but everything she said is wrong and fake. She is really angry and upset, but she expressed her feelings in the wrong way, causing more trouble.

*Scene 3:

She then grew angry. She expressed her anger in wrong ways. She started to talk back to her mother, causing her mother to think that she is getting more rebellious, thus scolding her more often than ever. She started to go home very late every day, just to avoid her mother’s naggings and yelling.  This causes her mother to get suspicious and worried about what she’s doing outside there all this time. Mother banned her from going out of the house, except for going to school. She grew angrier and as she is being locked in the house, she started to hurt herself physically. She punched walls and flip tables, making a mess at home.

Scene 4:

It wasn’t totally her fault, her mother is at fault too, for being really bias against her. Soon everyone was angry at each other. Her teacher saw that she has been very restless in class recently, and asked what happened. The teacher talked to the mother and the Main Character and they realized their mistakes. Main Character became more hard working and mother became more understanding.

*Scene 3 may be separated into further scenes as there are quite a number of problems happening and cannot be filmed into one scene at a time.
