Carlos gets Kicked out of the House

This week we had to improvise a scene where a young boy, Carlos, (living with his uncle because his parents left him) helping out an injured train surfer on the street with the very last amount of money he had. Not realising how late he would get home, once Carlos enters the house his uncle flips out on him because Carlos is the one supporting himself and the uncle with money and food. The uncle doesn't really care about Carlos and all he wants is the money, and once Carlos can't supply him with that he gets really angry and kicks Carlos out of his home.




Our group performed the journey once Carlos was kicked out and wanted to take a train as far away as possible. In the start Melissa (Carlos) approached the ticket sales person (Me) and they looked confused. Melissa asked for a ticket for the train that was going to departure. As the sales person told her how much it costed an obnoxious business person (Laith) pushed Melissa out of the way. Laith got his ticket while the I was busy and Melissa snuck into the train. I then quickly changed roles and became another business person talking on the phone. Melissa took a seat next to me because there were no other places. Me in disgust moved my possessions away from her as the train's security (Tommy) walked by demanding tickets. Since Melissa snuck onto the train she began to panic and ran to the toilet of the train waiting for Tommy to leave. The train began to move and Laith went to the bathroom where Melissa was and pushed her out. Melissa then wanted to get away and took with her her emotions/conscience to the cargo part of the train. She began to talk with her conscience about what she would do next and how she would handle things. The train slowed down and Melissa wiped the tears off her face, took in a deep breath ready for the new world.
