I think that Exhibition night went good for me. I didn’t really have any problems during the presenting. For both parts of the night I didn’t really talk to that many people. So it was easy for me. My strengths were getting the dialogue across to the people who did come and talk to me. I felt that the people who came in had a better understanding of the story and of the pinhole camera lab when they left. The weakness was not focusing when I was doing my drawing
One of the difficult encounters were when people kept on asking the same question but I handled it by just answering it. I would have more visuals to show the audience.

Exhibition Night
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
When we were doing the character study today, I learned that my character is a little bit on the shy side. Since he just moved over to the United States from Berlin, Germany he doesn’t really know anyone there. I also learned more on the other main characters in my story. Such as, Max is a little more aggressive and is always true about what he says. Something that I learned about myself was that doing these dramatizations helps me overcome me being shy when it comes to performing in front of some sort of an audience.
While I was watching the other short skits that were being performed it was giving me new ideas of how I could add into my character. I think that I should show how he is scared because he doesn’t know anyone there. I think that it would be best if I showed and explained a little bit of how Abel felt about Hitler’s speeches. For my other characters I think that we pretty much showed and acted out how they were.
