Nervous Conditions Project

For the Nervous Conditions project, Avery, Sarah, and I decided to work together as a group. The assignment was to look at the book from a different perspective, find new insight to either one of the character or another key part of the book and present it in an original and creative way. We really had a difficult time deciding how approach the book from a new perspective. Our first idea was to write an example of the letters that Tambu and Nyasha sent each other while Tambu was at Sacred Heart. Then we decided that we really wanted to perform something.

After realizing that, Sarah, Avery, and I thought about the complex characters in the novel and ways we could dissect a part of their identity and learn something new from that. We found sections in the book where the characters would say one thing but mean something completely different. So we analyzed these situations, and turned it into a sort of character versus conscience thing. When we perform, I will give the context of the quote that we have chosen, Avery will say the quote, and then Sarah will act as the character's conscience, saying what they truly mean.
