1). I found that the play format was easy to get in depth in characters by having direct dialogue with two characters which really helped the audience get to know the characters. I did find it rather annoying that you only could write a few words and then switch to the other person which seemed repetitive in a way and seemed that it just took up space. I found it interesting to write it in play format because Im used towriting just essays and I found it to be more interesting and different and more unique than an essay. It's easy to get your point across through dialogue. I would be interested in a screenplay or Television show because those are things that ive been into my whole life and has allways caught my eye.

2). I would give a 10 year old advice in the world to never do drugs. Ive seen what drugs can do to someone and its not pretty. I would try to let them know that drugs are only a crutch for your life and only make you avoid your actual life and the problems in it. It's easy to run to drugs, but its cowardly to not face your problems face to face rather than use drugs to avoid it in a sense. I would tell them how it can completely change who you are and it can completely change your priorities in life which isnt something that you should really do. Drugs can change who you are and the damage it can take on relationship wise can be devastating such as with friends and family. They lead you down the wrong path and take you to places you never would want to go. I would tell them to just say no like they say in any drug class because its not hard to say no and easy to carry out with. Especially at this age of a 10 year old life they are going to start to see drugs more widely used once in middle school and highschool and i would want to warn them before they are interacted with a substance.

3). I believe that great pieces of literature can be written at any time. It only takes an idea and agreat writer to make a piece of work that will be remembered forever. Its not like the people of today can write better because of technology. People write well because of their ideas in their head and how they can critique these ideas on paper form. Writing is something that only a human can possess, not technology, so i believe its the person at any point in time who thinks of a great idea and can express this on paper thoroughly and in a way to keep the people entertained. The time periods may reflect a piece of literature as good too because maybe you write about a hot topic then and is seen as a huge event from today so it will always carry on and on.
