What's In The News

 Duran Williams Article
Duran Williams,
A boy who was stabbed in Dagenham, he was stabbed in the night time at around 23:00, he was know to be quite humble and very helpful , could be used potentially to show adolescence within these type of areas, could be revolved round a killing and the effect it has on family and friends. This deals with themes such as corruption of youth and the aftermath, it could also deal with the repercussion of murder, either by there being revenge or ending up in jail.
 Felix,
A boy who faced a huge amount of bullying over a course of 7 years he was bullied until he committed suicide, he stepped in front of a train. 'The most hated person in the school', he became a target because he was not allowed to play call of duty. People who never even knew him started to bully him online. He was bullied over social platforms like ask.fm. This could be used in my production as it uses themes such as school life, corruption of youth and adolescence.


Patrick is a man now who suffers from schizophrenia and bipolar, he became homeless from drug and alcohol abuse. He refuses to get help as he believes the system has failed him. I could use this as it has themes of poverty and drug abuse. He also faces mental problems which could introduce themes of disability. As he refuses help it cannot be forced upon him but his sister is also trying to deal with this problem of his, this could explore the theme of family life and drug abuse.
This post has to do with the addiction towards drugs and alcoholism, which can be a very sensitive topic for some people, it could also bring in ideas of poverty as people are so addicted all they spend their money on is alcohol. The effect of alcohol can have a very negative effect towards children as the parents may have been mistreating them or neglecting them as they were not in the right state of mind. This could be used in my production to show the true effect of alcohol abuse not only on the person drinking but the effect it has on everybody else around
