DRAMA PORTFOLIO 2
INTRODUCTION:
For coursework unit two I have studied HOMELESSNESS and REFUGEES. I have explored:
*The meaning of homelessness and refugees.
*The reasons that make people homeless.
*Society's attitudes towards the homeless and refugees.
AREA OF STUDY 1: CHARACTER AND CONTEXT:
Basically, 'homeless' means people who have nowhere to live, and 'refugees' means people who have been forced to leave their country, either because there is a war there or because of their political or religious beliefs.

Nearly 50% of the people who are homeless and live in the UK are teenagers. In addition, the reasons they became homeless are:
*Drugs
*Parents abusive
*Sexual harassment
*Parents breaking up
One character that I created was the teenager Yasmine, who became homeless because of her step-dad who treated her very badly. When she went to search for a job, she was rejected because she was under age and she did not have any qualifications for the job. I thought it was important to create three-dimensional characters that the audience could relate to. This was why I decided my character should be a teenager and why I chose to set my plays in recognizable British cities.
AREA OF STUDY 2: STRUCTURE AND PLOT:
One of the tasks that I did during this unit was the story of Adriatic. The story was about a boy who had to run away from home and leave his country because the police were after him because he...
