Final Blog Youtube Sure Thing
I felt the acting in the Sure Thing was excellent. The chemistry between the two actors was strong, for example with every "ding" both characters changed their personal views in a smooth and entertaining fashion. My favorite part was when the male actor pointed our his faults using his love of Trotsky, desire for liposuction and lack of physical endowment as humor.
The stage setting was minimal as to shift most of the focus on the two actors.I felt this worked, though I would have prefered more props to help convince me they were in a cafe or coffee shop. Overall I enjoyed the performance.

Lengel
“I can’t believe how much they want for cabbage these days,” Lengel says after negotiating with a produce vendor. “What in heaven’s name are those girls wearing” Lengel says as he notices the three girls walking in swimsuits down the store aisle. “The younger generation has no sense of decency.” “These girls are dressed like godless heathens, there are young children present. I can’t believe this.”
“Girls, you are not dressed appropriately for my store.” “I don’t care what errands you are running. You need to put some clothes on. Little children do not need to see you in your swimsuits in here.” “What did you say Sammy?” “That’s what I thought you said.” “Sammy, you don’t want to quit over those girls. They were an embarrassment to your generation. What would happen to our society if all of our young people acted like that in public? We might as well surrender to the Reds right now”.
“Sammy, think of your parents for one moment. How are you going to go home and explain this to them; that you are quitting your job over three disrespectful girls? I have known your parents for years and they will not understand this.” “Damn, it’s been so long since I have worked this cash register,” “Be patient, this will just take a minute.” Lengel says as he fumbles with the keys to the register.

The Enemy Of My Enemy Is My Friend/ Class writing 26 March 2009
Between 1975 and 1979 Cambodia was ruled by a fanatical Communist regime called the Khmer Rouge. The Khmer Rouge wanted to de-industrialize Cambodia. Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge leader, ordered the detention of most educated Cambodian citizens. During the Khmer Rouge rule in Cambodia, 1.5 to 3 million of these citizens were tortured, worked to death or executed. This period became known as the killing fields.
US Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, quoted at the time “The Khmer Rouge are murderous thugs, but they are at war with Vietnam, therefore we will work with their government.” One of Kissinger’s aides stated “well, I guess the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” The US went on to support the Khmer Rouge until Pol Pot was overthrown by the Vietnamese Army in 1979. Trials for former Khmer Rouge leaders continue to this very day.

Dialogue Conversation
Noise Disturbance
"I got a MySpace message from the neighbor about us making too much noise” Max said “Well, you should not have dropped me and maybe they would have not heard anything," Susan replied. “And why in the hell did they not call or stop by and say something?” “Why a MySpace message?,” “I am not sure, if they keep bitching I am going to complain about their shity diapers all over the front of the complex. “They never seal their garbage bags and the damn dogs haul all of their garbage and diapers all over the place.” “Yeah, it’s disgusting”, Susan noted.
“I will go and talk to them tomorrow” Max said.” “It’s not like we can’t hear them as well.” “The walls are pretty thin in this place”, Susan replied jokingly, I guess we’ll have to be a little quieter. “It seems like we have had a lot of problems with neighbors in this complex,” Max said. “I don’t want this to end up like the beef we had with the last neighbor, remember?” “How could I forget,” Susan replied. “We called the cops and he got a ticket for minor in possession” “Yeah, and then he poured booze into our washing machine.” “I wanted to kill him” Max said. “Well have to work it out with these guys, we can’t afford to move right now” Susan replied.
