Your favorite scene

What was your favorite scene from the play, and why did you like this scene best? Who were the characters in this scene, and how did their facial expressions and other movements show how they were feeling? Was this also your favorite moment from the book, why or why not?

Did other students choose the same scene as you? What were the reasons other students also liked that same scene? Are these reasons similar or different to your own?

My favorite scene from the plat was when John, the lady, and Toby all had night mares and they made eachother feed better. The characters in this scene was Toby, John, and the lady. John's facial expression made it clear that he was scared. The lady's facial expression was sad and relaxing. No, this was not my favorite moment from the book. This wasn't because the book has described other parts that we're in the play but weren't very big. I think some students would choose the same scene as me. I think this because this scene was when John actually came to peace and relized that he wasn't on his own anymore. That he had people and Toby[lol] that cared about him. Our reasoning would most likey be the same also.

My favorite scene was at the end when John went back with his mom because it was so sweet and it made me think about if I had to leave my mm for a long time and then see her again. It would be a happy but, sad moment. My other favorite part is when John's mom was talking to the social worker and was sad because they took her son and missed him alot.

My favorite scene from the play was when the sinisteads first showed up because they had cool music to lead up seeing the sinisteads and the costumes were awesome. John was in this scene and so were Littlest, Thin Elderly, and sinisteads. John tossed and turned which made him seem scared, Littlest was huddled with Thin Elderly also made them seem scared. This wasn't my favorite moment in the book because it wasn't described as throughly as it could have been.

The scene I liked best from the play was when John was overcoming his fear of his father in his dreams. It really showed how he had grown throughout the play. At first, John was afraid of his father, but he did not seem to find his father at fault. He seemed to think that his mother was the cause of his own pain; John also blamed himself. He thought that if he was "a bad boy", it was his own fault. But John was young, and didn't know better. It was really exciting and amazing that he came over that fear. John is actually a good boy. It's just that he was raised by an abusive father. I also liked that during John's dream in the play, they showed the different events going through his mind during the dream. They showed him being afraid, then unafraid and proud. It was really nice. =]

My favorite scene is when the sinesteeds first attacked John, because the sinesteeds looked, by the head, a lot like how they were described in the book. However, I think the sinesteeds should have been seen with a body. That would show the audience that hasn't read the book a clear image of what the sinesteeds are.

My favorite scene from the play was when the lone sinesteed popped up. It was a frightening sequence when you hear pookilyt music and BAM! out comes a sinesteed! You can't see their faces because they are horses of plastic adding a crazy WHAT NOW! kind of feel to the moment. It is not, however, my favorite part of the book. My favorite part of the book is when Littlest keeps asking questions on her first night on the job.
Other students may choose other things because, unlike rats humans are VERY unpredictable.

My favorite part of the play was when the sinisteeds came out and gave out the nightmares. The sinisteeds were big, loud, and chaotic. The sinisteeds wiped out the nightmare until they knew that they inflicted enough damage.

My favorite scene from the play was at the beginning with Festidious and Littlest. She was trying to train Littlest for when she would become a dream giver. she was clearly irritated and agitated with Littlest and her questions. She expressed her feelings very well by the use of hand gestures and the expressions on her face.

My favorite scene is when John went back with his mom when she got herself together so her son can have a better future. The scene was my favorite because it was very touching and sweet and now he can finally be with his mother after all that talking on the phone they can live their life together. Yes this moment was my favorite. For the same reason why I like the play scene. Yes some other students picked this same scene.

I think I enjoyed the Sinisteed scenes. I did because they made me jump. Also I like the regular dream sequences because the lighting was good for the mood as well.

My favorite scene in Gossamer was when the sinisteeds were giving John a bad dream. It was the first ever action like scene in the play. It was funny because they were big heads of horses.

I like the end where Littlest received a little new Dream Giver and she then received her new name: Gossamer. It may be the defining moment of the book.

My favorite part in the play was the part when the herd of sinisteeds came. This is my favorite, because it was the most rememberable and had the most action. Well, the sinisteeds and John was in this scene. The sinisteeds were stern and scary. I actually jumped when that part came. The red eyes, the smoke, and the darkness of this scene startled me. While John was fast asleep rustling and shaking all over with closed eyes and a huge frown. No, although this was my favorite scene in the play this was not my favorite part in the book. My favorite part in the book was when littliest proudly got her name as Gossamer and met the new littliest. I like this part better than the herd, because it is a beautiful ending and it finally answers my question: Why is the title named Gossamer? Other students didn't really have the same favorite as I did, but that's okay. That means there are no reasons.

My favorite scene in the play was when the heard of senestedes came into John's room. I liked this scene the best because it was kind of scary and I think that the senestedes looked cool. John, Littlest, The Senestedes, and Thin elderly were the characters in the scene. Littlest facial expressions made the scenes more interesting. This was not my favorite part in the book but it was in the play because it was the most action and the senestedes made the scene even better.

My favorite scene in this play is when John started having good dreams like how he wasn't afraid of his father anymore. I like this scene because, it shows that he understands that what his father did was wrong and that he actually is a good kid. That was cool that he finally understood B-) . The people in this scene was Toby, the lady, John, his father, and his mother.

My favorite part of the play was when John had a nightmare and all the sinisteeds came out as a herd. The characters in this scene was John and the Sinisteeds. John's facial expression showed that he was scared. This was not also my favorite part from the book. My favorite part from the book was when John was first introduced in the book and he was acting very rude. Some students chose the same scene as me. I think it was, because John was acting very funny and scared while he was asleep. These reasons are different from my own.

My favorite part in the play was when the first Sinisteed appeared. John, Littlest and Thin Elderly were in the scene. All three characters seemed frightened.

My favorite scene. HMMMMMMMMMM... I never really thought about it much. I think I didn't have one, because it was a good play that I didn't really think about one scene, but the whole play.
