THEME:
Searching for the truth and the reasons behind human actions/ leads to/ finding answers that you don’t expect or comprehend
PREMISE:
A girl, Lucy, cover in blood sits at a police station and she recounts her horrible experienced of getting kidnapped. She tells the detective, Becker, the events of what happened in reverse order starting with her escape. As she goes back through the events we see all the horrible things she went through, but when we get to how she was kidnapped her story becomes vague and shows some inconsistencies. When Becker pressures her and point out these inconsistencies, Lucy spills the truth behind the kidnapping.
PROGRAM:
Lucy is expected to follow the program of police station and answer all the questions detective Becker has for her. She is expected to tell the truth because she is being treated as a victim and so there would be no reason to lie. She is being questioned in Becker’s office. When Becker begins to see some loose ends in her story, the program changes of one of a criminal and she begins to interrogate Lucy and forces answers out of her. Lucy also follows the program of being a kidnapped person, who has to be obedient, fearful, and submissive, because she is so vulnerable. At the same time, she is constantly searching for opportunities for escape.
TREATMENT:
Lucy sits in the office of an Upper Brookville police station covered in blood and her dress ripped apart. Detective Becker walks into the room and places a blanket over her shoulders and rubs her. She sits down in front of her and tries to get her to talk about what happened from the start. Lucy, who is still traumatized and in near hysterics, breaks down sobbing. It takes a while to calm her, but detective Becky gets her to talk about the last thing she remembers and goes back from there.
Lucy stands over two men lying on the ground next to pools of blood holding a quivering baseball bat in her hand. She drops the bat and runs out of the house as fast as she can. Detective Becker asks how she got in that situation and Lucy begins to talk.
Lucy is tied to a chair with a gag in her mouth. One of the men, the bigger of the two, drags in a mattress into the room followed by a skinnier man who was arguing with him. The man drops the mattress and blood stains are revealed on it. Lucy begins to squirm vigorously and the skinny man objects. The bigger man disregards the objections and unties Lucy and gets on top of her on the mattress. After some time struggling, the skinny man grabs a knife and stabs the bigger man repeatedly. Skinny man drops the knife and proceeds to help her up and they get ready to escape, when the skinny man gets stabbed by the big man who just got up. Lucy grabs the baseball bat that was leaning next to the chair and beats the big man.
Detective Becker asks what she remembers before that and Lucy says that all she can remember is being at Alisa’s masquerade party, and then waking up in the house. Detective Becker senses that she is hiding something and pressures her to talk. Becker states that she was seen dancing and talking with the skinnier man, before she had gone missing. Becker also presents a photo of Alisa that was found at the crime scene. Lucy breaks down and talks…
She was at Alisa’s party, who she is very jealous of, and was about to leave her house when a skinny young man asked her who Alisa was. Lucy, who was upset at all the attention Alisa was getting, claimed to be Alisa. The skinny man introduced himself as Calvin. The two talked and dances and then the skinny man suggested that they get out of there. Lucy gets drugged unconscious and wakes up in a trunk. The door opens and she see Calvin and big man. The big man was yelling at the Calvin for grabbing the wrong girl. Lucy wakes up in the house to see the two men arguing over if they should kill her or not. The big man grabs a baseball bat and puts it next her face as if he was aiming it there. He then puts the bat down next to her and leaves the room with the Calvin following.
BEHAVIORAL COMPOSITES:
1) Everyone at the party was now looking at Alisa who was at the center of the room with a huge cake. Everyone in the massive room was singing happy birthday for Alisa and smiling, everyone except Lucy. Lucy finishes her drink glaring at Alisa and storms out of the room her face tinted scarlet.
2) As the big man was ripping apart Lucy’s dress and she screaming in terror, Calvin’s fists clenched. Eventually Lucy’s struggling slowed down and she was just staring at him. Blood rushed to his head, and he broke the chair he was grasping on to. Calvin grabbed the knife on the table and stabbed with fury.
3) Detective Becker’s expression kindness and comfort suddenly disappeared. Her face hardened almost instantly and her eyes beamed down on Lucy. Her voice was cold and assertive when she said, “I know you’re not telling me everything.”

Gathering Project 1
Theme:
Unexpected encounter or interaction between two children/ leads to/ discovery of life long passion and friendship
Premise:
Johnathon is going to the first day of yet another new school. As the teacher introduces him to the class, he notices a kid with a teaching aid next to him. As he sits in class, he cannot help but notice a disable kid, Stanley, is obsessively drawling something with his fingers on his desk. During recesses, he notices Stanley arranging rocks on the ground. When Jonathon asks another kids what he is doing, he say that Stanley is retarded and that no one knows why he does the things he does. Jonathon, not satisfied with such an answer decides to try and ask himself. Much to his surprise Stanley is very intelligent and obsessed with stars and outer space. Jonathon discovers that Stanley was constructing the current positions of the planets in the solar system using rocks and tracing the forms of constellations on his desk. The two kids become friends and Stanley invites John to come watch the Hailey’s Comet at the observatory with him and his parents. That night Jonathon goes with Stanley’s family and fall in love with all the things he learns and sees. The next day at school, John arrives to school bringing a book about stars he found at home to find the teaching aid and the teacher in tears. Stanley had a seizure in the middle of the night and died. In shock, he sits down in his seat and tries to keep his composure. He opens the book to the page about Hailey’s Comet and tears begin to fall, he wipes his tears and flips the page.
Program:
Jonathon closes himself to others because he has move around so many times in very little time and so he has not been able to make close bonds or even been able to keep the ones he has made. Stanley, on the other hand, is alienated from others because of his disability and children’s prejudice against his strange behavior. The two are both outsiders who become attracted to each other and create friendship. Stanley’s passion for outer space is passed on to Jonathon.
Treatment:
Jonathon, a new 4th grader at his new elementary school, is very reluctant to make friends because he moves around often and doesn’t stay in one place for long because of his father’s job in the military. He doesn’t want to get hurt so he has closes himself from the other kids. As the teacher introduces him to a new class, he notices Stanley in the corner of the the class.
Stanley is drawing on his desk with his finger, but no one else in the class seems to notice or care what he is doing. The teaching aide attempts to get his attention to what is happening in the class, but Stanley doesn't care and shrugs off the aide, but stares up at Jonathan and then back down. He is so concentrated on what he is doing and almost oblivious to what is happening. People ignore Stanley and he ignores them.
During recess, Jonathan notices that Stanley is doing something. After asking some kid what Stanley was doing and being told that Stanley is just retarded and doing nothing, Jonathan wasn't satisfied with that answer. The reason for this is because Jonathan is observant and sees that Stanley is doing something very precise and calculated.
The interaction between the two are of two people hesitant to be open to someone else. They both have their own reasons for closing themselves, but they are attracted to each other because they both are outcasts. They like each other because they both reject the outside world.
When they go up to the observatory we see Stanleys' enthusiasm seems to be contagious and we see Jonathan being interested in something for first time. Jonathan up to this point has been uninterested in everything including making friends, and school. Stanley is alive with excitement wobbling around on his braces. Hailey's comet can be seen once every 75 years, so this is something big for him. This is a once of a lifetime event and symbolizes the importance of this very important life experience for Jonathan.
When Jonathan finds out that his new friend has died, and he lost another friend. He is surprised, because for the first time in his life someone left him instead of him leaving someone. He is sad and depressed, but he does seem to realize that he was left with something valuable. Space seems like a legacy left behind for him; something he will passionate about for the rest of his life.
Behavioral Composites:
As the teacher introduced him to the class he gazed around not really looking at anyone and not caring if they were looking at him until his eyes reached Stanley. The teacher asked him if he would like to sit anywhere in particular, and he replied, "I really don't care."
The balled rolled over to Jonathan and was followed by a short, freckled faced, red head boy. Jonathan asked, "What is he doing?" pointing at Stanley who was wiggling on the ground. The boy answered, "Oh, he's just a retard. He doesn't know what he's doing. Do you want to play football? We're short a player.." Jonathan threw the ball over the boys head and walked toward Stanley.
Stanley's usual slow crawl was replaced with his energetic wobble as he hobbled from telescope to telescope to look at the different things they were pointing at. His body was as if it was trembling with excitement as he was lifted up to peek inside. He barely blinked as he gazed with longing eyes in to the microscope.
