In class writing

1. What was your vision as a director/creator for this project?
I am as Mrs. Mallard's sister Josephine to present the entire story in turn from an onlooker's perspective.
2. What elements of the original story did you maintain in your project? The part of Mrs. Mallard's thoughts that he fell into because he heard the death of her husband, and the part where she returned to see her husband alive and died of heart disease due to extreme excitement.
3. What did you change about the original story in your project? Mr. Mallard wanted to get rid of Mrs. Mallard, so he deliberately told his friends to ask them to help him play the drama of his death, so as to start his new life.
4. What is the twist or climax of your adaptation? People may think that Mr. Mallard and his wife are very loving, and they will not think about Mr. Mallard but want to get rid of his wife.
5. What is the strongest part of your project so far? Mr. Mallard decided to get rid of Mrs. Mallard's thoughts and actions.
6. What is the weakest part of your project so far? Mrs. Mallard's mental activity after learning that her husband is dead.
7. How has this project helped you learn about how stories work? 
If you write a story, you must have a climax. Of course, if the plot is reversed, it will be more attractive. When you set the plot, you must consider how to explain to the reader how this happened and why.
8. How has this project helped you learn how theater works?
 As a character in the play, I learned more about how the emotions of the characters should be expressed when shooting, and how to adjust to the best shooting angle.

modernize this story

I will replace the telegram inside with a mobile phone, or the news on TV, etc.
I will change the plot to make this ending more dramatic. For example, Mr. Mallard deliberately made his wife and friends think he was dead. He wanted to get rid of his wife long ago, but he never found a chance. Just taking this opportunity to get his wife's heart attack so he can start his new life
