0705

Buttery and bright, you shake and scatter with every laugh and jump in the film. Eager hands reach in, grabbing more than they can hold, leaving a trail behind. You’re both a treasure and a casualty as the movie captures everyone’s attention. Write a narrative about what it feels like to be part of the movie experience as a box of popcorn.

Things to think about when choosing this path:

• What does it feel like to be shaken, grabbed, or dropped during the action?
• How do the sounds of the cinema (laughter, gasps, silence) affect you?
• What do you notice about the kids or adults reaching in for you?
• How do you feel when the movie gets so exciting that people forget to eat you?
• Beginning: What’s it like waiting in the box before the movie begins?
• Middle: What happens when the movie gets funny, scary, or tense?
• End: What happens to you by the credits — eaten, spilled, or still waiting?
