Fizzy-Bugsy Malone Play

This year for Passion Projects, I chose to do Musical Theatre. The play that we are doing in Bugsy Malone. It's set in New York and is mainly about the fighting between the two rival gangs, Dandy Dan's gang and Fat Sam's gang. The play is messy with all the cream pies and splurge guns but that makes it a whole lot more fun. My character is Fizzy. He is the caretaker janitor at Fat Sam's Grand Slam. He sweeps and cleans up after the gangs fight in the joint. I feel like after doing all of this and then there being another fight, he gets sick of it and starts to get very frustrated with the gangs fighting all of the time.

Fizzy's costume is quite simple. In most of the photos and the stage show that I have seen, he wears denim overalls and then underneath either an old flannel or a off white t shirt. Fizzy is a very humble character who wants to be a dancer and a singer not a cleaner at Fat Sam's. Fizzy always tries to show Sam that he can sing and dance in hopes that maybe Sam will give him a part in singing.

Pathways- English Scholarship

This year I have been give the opportunity to have an English Scholarship. We've been working out of two book and had to find things that we would most like to work on. In the In Perspective book (the first book that we got handed) I chose to do the Greek Gods as they are something that I love and wanted to find a little bit more about.

In the book there also was things like Religion, Lunar Calendars, Famous People like William Shakespeare and many other topics that would interest a lot of different people. We also got another book called The Elements of Eloquence.This book is all about how to turn the proper English phrase. This book isn't my cup of tea but it is very interesting to read. I'm about half way thorough and

So far, with my work, I am enjoying what we are doing and what we have been reading. It has been pretty fun during the past term and a half but it was also quite challenging. The bits that I found challenging were that I don't really like the Elements of Eloquence book but I'm going to read it anyway because I want to learn more about English.

I also found picking a choice on what to do for my In Perspective work. There were a few different choices that I could have picked and there were some that I absolutely hated reading about.

The power-point that I did I was very happy with the work that I did and the level that I completed it too.




I chose the topic that I found the most interesting and the topic that I really loved. I knew some stuff about this topic as I already did research but as I moved through the different gods, I found out some pieces of information that I didn't know and pieces that really shocked me. I really enjoyed learning about this and I'm glad that we were give the opportunity to do this.
