The document discusses different techniques writers can use to "show not tell" in their writing, such as using dialogue, descriptive details, and thoughtshots. It provides examples of how to use dialogue effectively with tags and punctuation. Snapshot examples show how to use vivid sensory details instead of just stating something. Thoughtshots are used to reflect on events through flashforwards, flashbacks, or internal debates.
The document appears to be lyrics from multiple songs by Linkin Park. It discusses themes of inner turmoil, suffering, isolation, and desire to escape from mental anguish. Refrains focus on having "given up" and being "sick of feeling", with pleas to "take it all away" or "put me out of my misery".

A writer selects words and shapes them in the same way that an artist mixes particular hues of paint and applies them to a canvas using brush strokes. Writer’s effect is the powerful feeling that writers intend to inspire in their readers, through the use of special words or expressions or some unique patterns of writing. Writers commonly create effect through the use of the following techniques:
- Imagery
- Power/Powerful/Strong words
- Figurative language
- Miscellaneous methods (arrangement of letters and words, shapes of letters, etc.)

- Blackheads are caused by a buildup of oil, skin debris, and proteins in pores when skin cell turnover is slowed, not dirt. Pores cannot open and close but steam and exfoliation can help clear pores. Stronger acne products are not necessarily better as they may cause more irritation with no additional benefit. While the sun may initially reduce acne inflammation, long-term sun exposure damages collagen and increases acne risks like scarring. The right makeup, like mineral or non-comedogenic foundations, can improve acne whereas toothpaste is not meant for skin and can cause irritation.

Carlos Marx nació en 1818 en Alemania e hijo de un abogado judío. Marx analizó la primera gran crisis del capitalismo industrial en la década de 1830 y las consecuentes crisis políticas de 1848. Marx consideró que el elemento fundamental de la economía política era la mercancía, la cual tiene un valor de uso por su utilidad y un valor de cambio por su capacidad de venta. Marx llamó "infraestructura" al mundo económico y tecnológico y, según su materialismo histórico, creía que la economía es la base sobre la que se constru
Adam Smith nació en Escocia en 1723 y fue un filósofo moral. En su época, la forma de producción predominante era la manufactura y regía la oferta y la demanda. Smith creía que la división del trabajo provoca un gran incremento en la riqueza y cantidad de mercancías producidas por la sociedad debido a la especialización de los trabajadores, menos tiempos muertos, y la creación de nuevas herramientas para completar el trabajo más rápido.

Extract 1
Authored: January 2015
Description:
An extract from an unpublished play, titled ‘Lost in Transmission’, credited to myself and five
others. I was also the primary Script Editor during its creation. The script was the result of a
collaboration between myself and my classmates during my study with Plymouth University.
The play was a stylised representation of the American aviator Amelia Earhart. Me and my
coursemates performed to the public in January 2015 at The Bay Theatre, Weymouth College.
Scene 4b was written entirely by myself as new material was needed to allow other actors to
prepare for the scenes that followed. It was finished in the space of two hours. The same day
the request was made. Extensive research had already been conducted on the life of the real
Amelia Earhart, allowing me to insert true events into the monologue. I also examined real
letters written by Earhart in order to properly assimilate and replicate her writing style.
Context:
The following scene consists entirely of a monologue by the main character Amelia. The
character is reading aloud a letter she is typing for her father. She is informing of her decision to
take up flying lessons.

SCENE 4b
[At an airfield hanger. AMELIA is gathering her things and
about to leave but notices some blank paper and a pen on a
nearby tanle. AMELIA sits at the table and begins writing a
letter. The only sounds heard are those of the pen scrating
against the paper.]
AMELIA: My dear Father
This letter may strike you as rather sudden on my
part. My last communication with you having only been
the previous week. I write to you in order to share
some news of the upmost importance. It concerns me and
you.
As I pen these words, I find myself sitting in an
airplane hangar at Kinner Field, California. Dusk
draws over daylight and the symphony of engine’s roar
draws silent. The only sound I can interpret is that
of ink meeting paper.
I am here as I have taken what some may consider a
bold decision for a person of my standing. This
decision is one I feel you should be informed of now
by myself rather than hereafter by a third party.
Though I know your duty as parents forbids you from
enjoying peace of mind concerning your daughters. I
still feel I owe you reassurance. I have made an
agreement with a skilled aviator to be taken under her
wing as a student. I wish to gain the skills necessary
to pilot a plane.
Assuming you have not put down this note in order to
light a cigarette and open a beverage, as I know you
are prone Father. I want to have my say.
In the not too distant past, I recall you and I
attending an air show. We discussed, as you called
them, the ‘flying machines’. Soon I find myself in the
passenger seat with your gazing up me, getting smaller
and smaller. It was during this moment that I decided
that I did not belong in that chair, I needed to
decide for myself my own destination. When you pointed
4. LouisThrift
me in the direction of that craft, it was the final
instruction you ever needed to give me. After that
day, I have felt distinctly grounded, as if I am an
eagle with clipped wings.
I remember an incident during my infancy. Not too far
from our home was a very large, steep hill. Nearby
children, including myself would scale it the top and
take a sled back down. The boys were always lying on
their front, the girls sat upright, as was expected of
us. One sunny afternoon, I ventured up the slope, sat
on a sledge but then stopped. I was curious. ‘What is
it like to slide on your belly’ I remember thinking,
‘why can’t I do it too? Who will know?’ my inner voice
tempted me. So at that moment I assumed the position
of a boy and began my descent. Though the memory of
the ride is vague, I do know that I instantly
preferred the masculine method. I moved much faster
and the thrill was undeniably heightened. However, my
timing was unfortunate as at that very moment, a horse
and cart were crossing my path. I did not try to stop,
there simply was not enough time. When I opened my
eyes, I found that my sledge had slid right between
the animals legs, with me unscathed due to my flat
position. Lady Luck smiled upon me.
You were, understandably furious over my daring
escapade. You told me I should not have been mimicking
the boys and you forbid me from ever trying another
similar act again. I know you cared then and I am sure
you care now.
Your fear was justified, however, I must protest any
similar feelings now. Aviation is a passion I cannot
and will not deny. I am not the first nor shall I be
the last woman to take the controls of an airplane. I
cannot let you tether me to the safe ground. Long have
I believed in the phrase ‘Fortune Favours the Bold’.
You and mother’s support for me would be greatly
appreciated by myself. It is however, unnecessary.
Love Amelia

social anxiety and its effect on young people. The main protagonist must deal with such
anxieties in her everyday life and the audience is presented with the situations it leads to. The
main character is that of ‘Amberlea’, a girl in her final year at school. I would describe the genre
as ‘dark comedy’ with scenes appearing comedic the outside observers but with a sombre,
underlying subtext revealing the Amberlea’s difficulties.
Samples from the current version of the piece are due to be performed to an audience as part of
a script workshop, hosted by myself, in April 2016. My hope is that it will allow me to gain
audience feedback in order to inform of the direction I should take the script in.
Context:
The first sample scene features Amberlea attending a house party. It features no dialogue and
only the lead actress. I provide detailed stage directions.
The second extract show Amberlea attending a job interview that quickly turns awkward though
Amberlea is fairly oblivious.

Scene 5
[Scene opens at a house party. AMBERLEAenters through a door and
sits on a chair next to a table. On the table are numerous drinks, both
alcoholic and non-alcoholic as well as a few empty glasses. The
sounds of other guests partying and loud ‘current’ music can be heard.
The shadows of the other party-goers can occasionally be seen against
the wall.]
[An uncomfortablelooking AMBERLEApours a non-alcoholic drink into
a glass and starts occasionally drinking from it.]
[The music fades down but people can still be heard. Blackout for
several seconds.]
[Lights Up. A different music track fades in. Some of the drink bottles
on the table have been opened and partially emptied and several used
glasses have been left. AMBERLEAhas an empty glass in her hand and
is looking bored. AMBERLEAtakes an unopened bottle of beer from the
table and carefully reads the label. She opens the bottle and sniffs the
liquid before slowly taking a sip. Her dislike for the beverage is
immediately and visibly obvious. AMBERLEAcontinues to take small
sips despite the taste. She eventually stands and heads off stage
towards the other guests, taking another sip.]
[The music fades down but people can still be heard. Blackout for
several seconds.]
[Lights up. A different music track fades in. A few of the drinks bottles
have been removed. AMBERLEA returns to her chair with the same
beer bottle in hand which still is only around a third empty. She looks
nervous and embarrassed. Eventually she stands up, leaves the beer
bottle on the table and quietly heads out the door, giving one last
glance before exiting.]
[The music fades down. A few seconds later the lights fade down. Only
the guests’ noises are heard for a few seconds before slowly fading
down.]
[END SCENE.]

Scene 6
[Scene opens in a room with a small table and two chairs. An
INTERVIEWERis sitting at one end, writing down notes. A knock is
heard.]
INTERVIEWER: COME IN.
[AMERBELEA enters, a look of great apprehension on her face. The
INTERVIEWERoffers their hand out and AMBERLEAslowly shakes it.]
INTERVIEWER: Let me just pull up your application.
AMBERLEA: Okay.
[AMBERLEAcontinues to stand in the same spot facing the interviewer
whilst they gather papers.]
INTERVIEWER: Oh, you may sit down.
[AMBERLEAawkwardly takes her seat.]
INTERVIEWER: So, you are Amber, correct?
AMBERLEA: Amberlea.
INTERVIEWER: … Amberlea. So you have applied for the position of
General Assistant. Do you fully understand the description?
AMBERLEA: …Yes.
INTERVIEWER: Okay but just to quickly recap. Duties include: stocking
shelves, stock rotation, price tagging, basic cleaning when
required and serving customers directly at the tills. Those
would be your main areas.
8. LouisThrift
[AMBERLEAraises her hand as if at school.]
AMBERLEA: Um… one question.
INTERVIEWER: Yes, go ahead.
AMBERLEA:! Can… I please not be on the… thru tills?
INTERVIEWER: But that is the most frequent task that GAs are required to
do. On a busy day, we need every employee available to
serve customers. Are you or are you not prepared.
AMBERLEA: If it’s necessary then yeah, yeah, I can do it.
INTERVIEWER: Alright, my first question to you is: What attracted you to
this position with us.
AMBERLEA: Well I…I’m in real need of money right now and… some
experience to put on a C…CV… Your store’s very close to
me and when I saw the ad, it… it seemed like such an easy
role that basically anyone could do… so I thought that
would give me a good ch…chance.
INTERVIEWER: … And you first found out about the post from where?
AMBERLEA: A website.
INTERVIEWER: I see.
[The INTERVIEWER jots down several notes for a few seconds.
AMBERLEAsits uncomfortably, staring at the wall in front of her.}
INTERVIEWER: Question 2: name three unique aspects about yourself that
you believe will make you an asset to our business.
AMBERLEA: I… I…
INTERVIEWER: Take your time.
AMBERLEA: I have good grip.
INTERVIEWER: What?
9. LouisThrift
AMBERLEA: I have good fingers. I won’t drop things easily. I’ve got lots
of experience holding controllers and stuff.
INTERVIEWER: Anything else?
AMBERLEA: Er… I… I’m good at spotting thieves?
INTERVIEWER: Shoplifters?
AMBERLEA: Yes, yes, I’m always on the lookout! At school, I could
swear there are people who take my stuff. My pens
disappear, sometimes my notes and I swear someone must
have stolen them. I hear others laughing when I’m looking,
that’s how I know.
[The INTERVIEWER stares in silence for a few seconds.]
INTERVIEWER: I now have to ask you some basic attitude assessment
questions, just to give us an idea of your personality.
They’re very simple so no need to worry.
AMBERLEA: Alright.
INTERVIEWER: First: have you or would you ever be tempted to steal from
the store?
AMBERLEA: Depends.
INTERVIEWER: What?
AMBERLEA: Well, I…I…it could be a life or death situation you know. If
I’m really desperate. Um… What if someone I know needs
money to save their life or s…something? And I mean,
y’know, who hasn’t ever been t…tempted right?... But… but
generally no, I would’t steal.
INTERVIEWER: …You are on duty, you see a customer slip over in store.
What action do you take immediately?
AMBERLEA: I… Find someone who can help them.
INTERVIEWER: You see a colleague take and consume stock from the
rshelf. You do what?
10. LouisThrift
AMBERLEA: Continue what I’m doing and not get distracted.
INTERVIEWER: You see a customer put a clearly broken item into their
trolley, which they evidently don’t realise. What do you
say?
AMBERLEA: Nothing as I’m sure they will notice at the checkout. I
continue to focus on what I’m doing.
INTERVIEWER: A rude and aggressive customer approaches you. What
action do you take?
AMBERLEA: Call for help.
INTERVIEWER: Hm?
AMBERLEA: As loud as I can
INTERVIEWER: Well, that’s all I believe I need for that.
SMBERLEA: Mm hm.
INTERVIEWER: Just a final few things now. Where did you first hear about
the position?
AMBERLEA: The Internet.
INTERVIEWER: What times are you available?
AMBERLEA: Evenings and weekends.
INTERVIEWER: What is your prior experience?
AMBERLEA: None.
INTERVIEWER: Do you have any questions for me at all?
AMBERLEA: No.
INTERVIEWER: Well, that concludes the interview. Thank you so much for
your time Miss Young.
[AMBERLEAand the INTERVIEWERshake hands. AMERBERLEA
prepares to leave the room but turns around.]
11. LouisThrift
AMBERLEA: `Oh, um, I’m free to start immediately, by the way.
INTERVIEWER: Yes.
[AMBERLEAwalks towards the exit, smiling.]
