4. 2005: Drawing and Drama

The next year in 2005, the students began to combine drawing and drama. In their drawings, they used both speech and thought bubbles.


Olivia thinking in her role as worker:
"I want to serve them, but then I'll get fired and I won't have any money to pay for my house."

Michaelann thinking in her role as worker:
"Why should they be in here? My manager will kick them out."

Sean thinking in his role as worker:
"They're never gonna be able to get served. Why don't they get out?"


Devin thinking in her role as worker:
"These colored people make me so mad. Why won't they leave us alone?"

Joleene thinking in her role as worker:
"Sorry."

Lee thinking in her role as student sitting-in:
"I know they want to serve me. I can see it in their eyes."

Joanne thinking in her role as student sitting-in:
"I wish they would serve me, but they like their jobs more than me."
