Always Watching


(Michelle Marielle Wright Blog-Post)


“Did you see that? Did you see that?” Exclaimed Ivy.

“See what?” Asked Chantelle.

“That brick was totally falling for my head.”

“Yes. I did see it fall. It is the reason why we were trying to run away.”

“You didn’t see it change course?”

“What are you talking about?”

“It was going to fall on my head, but it missed.”

“Yes it missed, because we were running.”

“Come on Chantelle, you must have seen it?”

“Listen Ivy, I am glad and happy we escaped the falling brick unhurt, but I am not following what you are insinuating.”

“It was my dad.”

“Really? I am sorry to remind you, but your dad died 5 years ago.”

“Yes. I know that. I mean my dad is watching over me.”

“You mean like Superman?”

“Stop being funny. No. More like my guardian angel.”

“What makes you say that?”

“The falling brick.”

“OK, but we were running.”

“Last week when I going home some thieves were following me, just when they stopped me they decided to change course on their own.”

“Maybe they saw something white on top of your head and ran. Hahaha.”

“Hahaha. Very funny. The other day there was an accident on my way to school. As the crashed car came towards me, it veered off and hit a street light pole.”

“Looks like you have been having some exciting time in your life.”

“I am telling you it’s my dad.”

“Yeah. Sure. Let’s go to lunch before another miracle happens, like me fainting from hunger.”

They start walking away, but ivy stops and looks into the sky. “Thank you dad.” With that she runs after Chantelle.

Men, we need to wake up

(all photos courtesy of Google). The world is evolving. Time is changing. Women are gaining power. Men are seated, watching, waiting for their turn. In the 90s and early 2000s all campaigns were directed at ‘empowering the women’ Do not get me wrong, women were mistreated and suffered under the tyranny of men and their egos. UNICEF created the International Day of the Girl to help end the circle of violence against adolescent girls. It is celebrated on the 11 th of October annually. Education was the major concern and center of debates, and the United Nations felt that it had serious impacts on human and economic aspects of society. Girls worldwide were forced to cook, clean and do other house hold chores while their male siblings went to school and received care and attention from parents. Girls were seen as a curse while boys were seen as a blessing. Men felt proud having a boy while mistreating the poor mother for having a girl. Something needed to

The Most Amazing Story Never Written

(Made on Canva) Alright. We need to write a short film and shoot it by the end of the month. Ok. What story are we telling? What stories excite the masses? I am not too sure. I think drama has been overwritten. Action? You think we can pull it off? We are going to need a budget for that. Not to mention we are going to need a trainer, an action director, a stunt manager, a doctor, practice the stunts, different days for shooting, a good director of photography and fit actors? Hahaha. Why do you think we would need fit actors? You trying to say we can’t find any? From the people we have. I highly doubt it. What would our actors be fighting against? Aliens? They never come to take over the world here. Zombies, our actors would run and leave us alone on the set. Moreover, we couldn’t get it approved. We don’t fight wars and we never have had heroes we can write about. How about we check online? All I found were stories about aliens, zombies and things that would never happen this side of t

Why an antagonist is important to a story

  (Made on Canva) Who is an antagonist? An antagonist is the villain of a story. It can be a human being, a natural phenomenon like a hurricane, a disease, an animal, an idea or a fictional character like a dinosaur. The aim of the antagonist is to create chaos and wreak havoc while creating obstacles for the protagonist (hero). The protagonist has to find a solution to the uncomfortable situation caused by the antagonist. In story-telling, the antagonist propels the story forward by creating an inciting incident that forces the protagonist to go on a journey to remedy the situation and restore balance. In the Dark Knight (2008), the Joker creates chaotic situations in the city of Gotham with the aim of killing the Batman. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thanos is looking for rings that will give him ultimate power and make him the supreme being of the universe. Why are antagonists not popular? Being an antagonist is not very appealing, especially in the acting business becau
