Today, we started going in a different direction from what we normally would do. Instead of playing games, we read the poem "The Jabberwocky" together and were assigned to do an interpretive narrative play on it where the Jabberwocky stands for some challenge or negative thing that must be overcome by the protagonist of the story. After a long conversation, my group decided to do ours on a victim of rape overcoming their struggle. Eventually the child will seek revenge for its mother. Our choice of topic displays much irony in that a very serious matter is being drawn out of such a  goofy story like The Jabberwocky.  The purpose of this play we will do is to combine all of the skills we have learned so far like stage presence and being able to actually visualize the scene we will play.
