Post 2: Analysis

In my opinion analysis is the use of our previous knowledge in finding a connection to different subjects or an explanation to a proposed problem and our process in coming to these findings.

Analysis works by first figuring out what it is exactly we are supposed to do. Are we making a connection or trying to find an explanation? Then we look at what we are given and use our previous knowledge to find patterns to help us towards our goal. After all of that we create a theory or multiple theories that based on our knowledge my bring us our answer. Next we test our hypothesis, maybe do some research from outside sources, to come to a conclusion and see if our theory is true. If it doesn't work or if there are exceptions then we go back and re-look at our theory to possibly create a new one or better one. Sometimes there may not be a right answer (as in trying to find connections), but there must be enough evidence to support that claim. Once you have tested your theory and it is either true or true for the most part then you have completed your analysis. 

I decided to break down the one that I find most interesting which is my acting choice. However, I'm not sure if I will be able to find research on it or anything. I feel like it would be really hard so this is not my official choice of what I will be writing about.

Acting & Characters of Writing

Previous Knowledge/ Ideas:

Each character is a person. Although we, as people, may not be actors professionally, we are all essentially actors. If we think of our lives as a TV show we are the so called "star" in our own lives. 

When writing a character the author must think of themselves as that person. Who are they? What is their background? Where did they come from? What are their motivations? What are their strengths? What are their weaknesses? 

This is all part of how an actor prepares for a role. They learn the ins and outs of a characters so that they can come across as believable as that person. 

Authors must make their characters believable because characters are people. To make their characters believable they themselves must become actors.

Coding/Categories:

People are real and believable so the Character itself must be believable

Character = Person

To create a believe able character the author must become that character

Author = Character

To give life to characters of a play or novel many times Actors are hired to become that Character, showing they are believable
Actor = Character

Pattern:

Let's use some math shall we? Here is what we have so far

Character = Person

Author = Character

Actor = Character

Character can either be Actor or Author or Person so essentially a Character is all three. So we can replace anything with character and it would work.

Author = Person

Author = Actor

Actor = Person

Theory:

To properly create or write a character the author must become that character. He or she is therefore an Actor.

Author = Actor

I'm not sure if any of this makes sense. I feel like I'm going in a circle with this. Haha! Comments, questions, suggestions are all encouraged, appreciated and NEEDED! Help? haha!
