Sorry it's taken so long, there were no copies of the script so I had to type up the extract that you needed for this homework. I've attached here the extract from 'Journey's End' and also the lyrics from 'The Grave'. Your task is to read through the extracts and discuss how they relate to one another.
Your next task is to talk through the emotional memory exercise that we completed in the lesson and evaluate how it helped you in your interpretation of the script. Remember to back up EVERYTHING you say. Don't forget the hows and the whys .
Everything that you come up with needs in this homework needs to be posted on this blog. Please use it as a revision tool. Plus it took me a long time to type up the scripts and if you don't do this work your heads will be on the chopping block!!

I think that both the extracts show men at war losing there sanity, for example in the journeys end script Stanhope is definatly going crazy because he goes on about random things which are unrealted to the conversation he is having with Osboure. Such as 'I hope so. I wondered if there was anything wrong with me. D’you ever get a sudden feeling that everything’s going farther and farther away – till you’re the only thing in the world - and then the world begins going away – until you’re the only thing in – in the universe – and you struggle to get back – and can’t?' this shows how crazy he is he just rambles on about some totally unrelated subject and osbourne just laughes weakly, showing that osbourne knows stanhope is losing it. this relates to the grave by don mclean because as the man is in battle he gets scared and begins to dig his own grave which i beilive show hes completely nuts, or it could mean that when the dig there trenches at war that they will die in thoise trenches, so underlying meaning is the do effectivly dig their own graves.

The emotional memory exercise mdae it easier for me to show fear, when acting as one of the soilders in the play, as i could imiatate fear i have experienced in the past, this helped to recreate a realistic, believeable character.
