329 Words2 Pages

I think Neil Perry made simple choices that led to a drastic, unexpected consequence. He’s a bright kid with a bright future. He ends up meeting a new teacher that shows him life from a new perspective. He does things he never thought he would be able to do and that makes him happy. His dad told him at the beginning of the year, that he could not participate in theater. He had too much to focus on and he needed full concentration if he wanted to become a doctor. Neil disobeys his father and joins a play. He gets the part of Puck, in A Midnight Summer’s Dream. He loves theater so he was stoked about getting the part. He has to get a letter of approval from his dad, so he writes one for himself. That was a choice that could’ve made a difference
