When Thom Creed tries to run away from his home, he finds about about his whole past. He realizes that he is the son of two of the most famous superheroes in history. Thom gets stuck into a situation where he uses his powers to save peoples' lives. This causes him to actually meet the League, the legendary legion of superpowered beings. The head of the League, Justice, asks him to go to the League tryouts. Thom decides to go but on the way, he realizes that Justice was actually his father's sidekick when his father fought crime. At the tryouts, he is put with a bunch of other wannabes into a simulation room. In the simulation, he is the person that saves the day by stopping a bomb from going off. The only problem is that as he does this, his powers drain the electricity from the entire building. The League and every superhero that tried out for a positition on the League gets pissed off at Thom Creed. I wonder if everybody will realize who Thom Creed actually is, the son of two super legends. Will this affect how the people think of Thom? Will thsi affetc how the League thinks of Thom? I think that once everybody realizes of Thom's history that will think of him as destined to become the world's greatest suprhero. I also wonder how his father would think about everything that is going on. Because Thom is both a superhero and a homosexual, this goes against his father's moral code. How will his father react once he knows that his son, Thom Creed, is the opposite of everything that his father wants him to be?

The Laramie Project

Overall, I thought that The Laramie Project performed by Ardsley High School was a good play. I was interested, however, in the selection of play that AHS chose to put on. I thought, wouldn't people who are against gay-rights object to the performance of this play. It was also interesting how it was performed. My brother and I had seats on stage, on Thursday night. Never has AHS done a play with seats on the stage for the people to sit in. When the actors were speaking, they often were facing us but were often facing away from us. The director may have done this on purpose, though. The play was kind of like a documentary acted out on a stage. It was very intriguing to hear how the different people of Laramie, Wyoming felt about the death of a homosexual boy whose name was Matthew Shephard. In my opinion, the best parts of the play were the "action" scenes, when the story of Mattew was explained and also when the convicts were on trial. Every actor in the play had multiple parts, which was necessary but also sometimes confusing to tell which character was speaking. My favorite character of the play was probably the boy biker (who was played by a girl) who had found Mattew Shephard on the side of the road, practically already dead. This biker questions, "Why had god chosen me of all people to find this poor boy?" I do not understand how people could be so hurtful to a person just because thay are born homosexual. This play taught me of the realizations that are happening to people just because of which gender they like. Maybe if anti-gay people see the play, they might change their minds about their beliefs.
