I believe in Football and the impact it has had on my life. For me Football have always been more than just a game to play with friends. To me Football was everything, I had Football posters, Football pillow cases, watched Football movies. My whole life revolved around Football. I’ve been consumed by it since the day I was born. When I was young I was like any other kid except for I have always been short and until about age 11 I was skinny as a twig. These two faults in my genetic make up made it so it was hard for me to do some things I wanted to do. My favorite sport had always been football, but due to my size I did not meet the size requirements to play. So because of that I had to play other sports such as Dodgeball and Relay. Even as a child I knew playing these sports would only make me better, but mainly i just wanted to play football. Even though I was not always motivated to play these sports they had taught me a key element that would be necessary later in football and la...

Getting used to loneliness

I remember not liking visiting the neighbours but I had to go cos my sister was going. And being older how, I hate anything that will send me to market, a...

The ABC's of Script Formatting: Character Cues

Image
These are the participants in the dialogue of a script. It could be between the protagonist and the antagonist, or a love interest. Even, it could be with random characters in the scene.  The character cues specifies the actors that are making the dialogues and so, it is essential that the cues are indicated at every turn. Unlike fiction writing where the character cues are not indicated in some dialogues, it is a must for the script, so you wouldn’t burden anyone into deciphering the person that has a particular dialogue.  In this scene, there are three characters. Two which are named are obviously major characters in the assumed script, and the other is a random character and so it is not necessary to name him.  The writing of the characters, random or not should be capitalised in all cases. So you should have, ‘TOLU,’ ‘UCHE,’ ‘IDEM’ not ‘Tolu,’ ‘Uche,’ or ‘Idem.’ They should be in the Upper Case Alphabet lettering For cases like the random chara...
