__Pros and Cons of Becoming Ramon__

Pros:
==﻿- I feel that I incorporated Ramon's accent well into my part. I am usually good with accents so this wasn't a great obstacle, but some words are very awkward when trying to put a Spanish flare on them. I felt this was a key component to the play so hopefully my efforts will be worthy of the part.== ==﻿- The comedy in Ramon's character as a whole was brought out well I feel. I tend to be the "class clown" of sorts and I think that background helped when preparing to take on this role. As I mentioned in my research on Ramon, he doesn't have very many lines so I had to try to make an impact with very limited stage time.== ==﻿- I feel that Khalil, Hannah, and myself made for a good ensemble. We all have good senses of humor and I think that made the chemistry work that much more easily. We understood the purpose of the play and knew what we had to do to get it across. This worked out very well in my eyes.==

Cons:
==﻿- Playing such a small part was difficult on many levels. On the acting side, I only had thirteen lines. This made for very limited presence on the stage and led me to feeling like a very minor character.== ==﻿- On the research side, it was very difficult finding information about Ramon and the way he is supposed to be portrayed on stage. I had to resort to biographical information for the majority of it. This initially led to some confusion on my part on how exactly to go about playing Ramon.== ==﻿- Not exactly a con, but finding time to meet with everyone was, at times, difficult. With so many different schedules and lifestyles to work around, I'm surprised we found as much time as we did. At first it seemed like it was going to be a hassle, but it worked out all right in the end.==
