thanks for your thoughts on Rap point 2 and the characters of the two stars.
It gets a tad tricky talking about these characters.
The series is unusual in that there are 3 characters wrapped up in each main character - that's 6 main characters I reckon.
i.e
Noah - avatar - Saskia's imaginary Noah (3)
Saskia - avatar - Noah's imaginary Saskia (3)
check out the diagram of this in the rap's Resources, then Classroom resources.
Do you know you contradict yourselves? You say appearances don't matter to either Noah or Saskia, and then you say the opposite. You might be talking about how the different versions of each character think and act. If so, which is which?
Even though you seem to be saying contradictory things about these characters, I suspect you might be talking about a
specific identity, but you call them all either Noah or Saskia.
Each of the 3 versions thinks and acts differently to the other 2.
e.g.
Noah and Saskia think appearances don't matter; but appearances are important for Max Hammer and Indy (the avatars).
Yep, these characters are tricky to talk about.
And isn't dilemma a wonderful word? Without a good dilemma or three, a story can't exist.
Here's a simple writing technique used by authors like Mathew Riley and Dan Brown:
put a person up a tree
throw sticks at the person
get them down
It means that a writer should:
put a character in a difficult position
make the situation worse with a problem that needs to be solved (dilemma)
solve the problem
And that's why the (as yet unsolved) dilemma of the Noah-Saskia relationship, works to make good TV. In each epsiode there's at least one problem that needs to be solved.
Happy rapping 8E1 and I hope your tech problems are over and that they don't prevent you having a tech adventure with Rap point 3.
