Prison

There's an evil warden in a prison that's corrupted and always abuses the prisoners.There's an old prisoner being sentenced with lifetime imprisonment.However,he has a son outside and had been writing letter to him and bribing the warden to send the letters to his son.In a week's time,the old prisoner will be granted clemency and be able to meet his son as long as there's no trouble.The warden bribed his roommate,the "king"of the prisoners to make trouble so the old prisoner would not be able to see his son.The next day,the roommate sneaked into the warden's room to steal the keys.When he opened the drawers,the drawers were full of letters.He realized that the son of the old prisoner had  actually died 10 years ago and the warden was the one that had been writing letters to him.Outside the cells where the guards are,a huge gang of prisoners with metal pipes dragging the warden,approached the guards.The guards were afraid and hid in the cells instead.In one of the cell,the old prisoner was there,he told the rioters to stop the foolish action  and they were angered,thus beating the old man up.The fainted warden woke up,and fought with the prisoners.Later,the warden and the guards together with the innocent prisoners escaped.Most of them are injured and needed medical supplies.Soon,the prisoners catch up.The warden told the guards to take the injured ones away and gave one of the guards a letter and told him to give it to the old prisoner,then shutting the gate behind him tight and gripping it tight so not to let the other prisoners get in.The prisoners took their weapons and smashed at the warden after another,but he won't fall.After awhile,the warden finally fell to the ground and the prisoners dragged him to the disciplinary room,where the warden used to torture the prisoners.When they went in,what they saw was the "king" of the prisoner and he took down each and every of the rioters himself.The "king" was released after a week and the prisoners were not punished as the warden himself took the punishment by quitting his job.The "king" stopped him at the doors of the prison and told him to get back in.When he went back,all the prisoners were dressed as guards and the guards were faking fallen asleep.The warden went to the room where the old prisoner's supposed to be meeting his son,they were allowed to meet for 10 minutes.
The warden sat down,but looking down,throughout the conversation.
Old prisoner: Good grief,now we have so many nasty-looking guards around now.
The warden was uneasy and kept gripping his legs.
Old prisoner: I heard that you quit your job.Do you have another job yet?
Warden: No,I am searching still.
Old prisoner: I see...
The warden gripping his legs again.
Old prisoner: Well,I wish you the best of luck.Try not to get yourself called an evil warden again.
Warden,gripping his legs then clenching his fist and letting go: Yeah...
Old prisoner: Guard,we're finished.
Warden panicked and said: Wait,old man!I've been...
Old prisoner: Don't say anything...We were able to make small talk,just like always.That's all I need.
Warden: Old man, did you...
Old prisoner: I read the letter,it was better than usual.But you handwriting is still ugly as ever.Warden,I've always been writing letters to my son outside.A son who turned out to have a nasty personality,but that foolish son of mine is dedicated to his job.
Old prisoner: I'm glad I was able to see you today.
Warden,looking down and gripping his leg.
Old prisoner: Will you continue to write?
Warden,gripping his leg with even more force and tears flowing down his cheeks while pulling his cap down slightly: Yeah,I will.
Old prisoner: It's a promise.
Warden: Yeah,whoever breaks the promise gets sent to the disciplinary room.

The letter is written:
Greetings,
I apologize that this isn't a letter from your son.If you are reading this letter,it means that I have disappeared for one reason or another,and you are no longer receiving letters from your son.However,you don't need to worry.Your son is doing fine.His work has taken him to another country,so it's difficult for him to send letters.There is a lot of paperwork that has to be done before you can receive mail from another country.I apologize that I was unable to continue delivering his letters.I'm sure you no longer remember,but when I was first assigned this position,I was a complete outsider.After causing trouble wherever I went,my parents dumped me in prison.The hardened prisoners weren't going to listen to a clueless young fool,and the guards resented me for my connections.I would find myself going to the oldest prisoner,you.The rules of the prison,methods for handling nasty prisoners,the way to strike underhanded deals,as well as the fact that outside light was a ray of hope for the prisoners in their dark cells...I learned everything from you.I can't say that I am a respectable man of society.I'm aware that I have nothing to be proud of.However,you are the reason that I am able to stand on my own,unsightly legs.All I could manage was to help deliver those letters.However,I would have been happy to know that they give you hope.There will be significant delay before the next letter arrives,but please don't forget that there is always someone outside who is thinking of you.Please remember that your son is not the only person,who cares about you.It was nice knowing you.
From the evil warden.

Learning Log 7

I think my group did a good job on the Literature's Romeo & Juliet performance.However,I thought we could have done better if I shouted even louder during the actual performance as the role of Tybalt.My members told me to shout slightly above normal voice because the camera won't be able to record my voice clearly and  I did so but it turned out not conveying my anger,I only used about 25% of the voice I usually uses during rehearsals.I really regretted not shouting with in my loudest voice.I was always quiet in class and nobody actually saw me shouted before or even raise my voice slightly a bit.During the rehearsals,everyone was really shocked when I actually shouted my lines and acted angrily as it was the first time they actually saw me being angry.It was also fun competing with other group's Tybalt in showing the anger.We had spent a lot of time on this project and I think it was worth the time because we did well in the performance.Even before we were told to rehearse,we had already rehearsed a few times and we spent the whole one-week-holiday and the days before the performance rehearsing.We really put in a lot of effort into this performance hoping to do well in it.Though we had rehearsed countless times,just before it's our turn to perform and during the performance,all of us were actually really nervous.The time we spent together were also valuable and enjoyable.Definitely,my group's performance is up to my expectation.I think everyone did great,but I could have helped my group doing better by shouting what I normally do during rehearsals.I have learnt that doing well in the performance requires time.I was thinking that just a scene of the act actually takes months to prepare,how much time do you exactly need to use to prepare for the whole act?I think it's fair,those that put in efforts score,while those that does not will not score.The day before the performance,I saw commitment's acts,they were really good and almost perfect.When I saw the first group's act,I was really nervous,even as the audience.That was because I was thought every group's standard was that high.But I was sort of relieved after I saw the second play by another class which I think they did not put much effort in because most of them forgets their lines a lot of times and does not know when and what to do when it's their turn to act.I think  spoiled their performance so badly that I actually started pitying them.I would recommend this performance to the juniors because this performance is really interesting and enjoyable and I think they too,will enjoy it very much.I really liked this project,and feel a little sad after the final performance ended.
