Bobby and Elliot: Observation

Mrs. Wendy made everyone write a number on a piece of paper. Two numbers were drawn. Bobby and Elliot were summoned to the 2 chairs. I thought they were going to play Rock, Paper, Scissors, but I was wrong. They had to talk. They weren't given a topic. They just had to talk. So Bobby asks how Elliot is doing in school and we soon realize that Elliot is behind. You see how the 2 sit. Both seem nervous and very fidgety. Everyone in the circle is watching, contemplating. Mrs. Wendy is typing. Click.. click.. click. The boys still talking. Bobby asks more questions than Elliot does. Both work at Malco theaters. Then you find out that Elliot no longer works there. Adam leans over and whispers to Trae. Then there seems to be an awkward silence. No one knows what to say. The boys seem to relax a little as they talk with the audience some. Neither like Chemistry and both are afraid to ask questions in fear of getting yelled at. Adam begins to stomp his foot. Mrs. Wendy still typing. Everyone laughs about something. Elliot now crosses his legs, maybe showing he's a little more comfortable. They switch chairs. Now the boys are prompted by Mrs. Wendy on what to talk about. They start with their favorite songs. Neither can pinpoint ONE song. They talk of certain groups and you see that they disagree on music. Then she says puppies. Elliot's dogs died when he was 5. That was depressing. Bobby says he has 2 pomeranians. Mrs. Wendy burst into laughter. Bobby doesn't seem like a pom-pom owner. =P. Ireland now the topic. Drinking is the first thing out there. Both think they have a low drinking age. Soccer also there and leprechauns. Then yoga the topic. Trae likes this! Both boys a little uncomfortable with this one. They say you find yourself through stretching. She then says llamas. El paco maybe? Bobby says they spit and bite. Subject changed to donuts. Glazed vs. Chocolate. I personally like chocolate. Neither do the fancy donuts. Apparently terrorists don't like donuts. Conversation over. The chairs now empty. Everyone looking around. Air-conditioner blowing.
From this you can see how Bobby and Elliot are the same and how they are different. Bobby more open while Elliot is a little reserved. You are able to see how they act in each environment they may be in, whether it is tense or comfortable. I was able to get a little more information about each and understand the way they are. Even though the conversations were random, you could see how each reacted under pressure. Every time the subject changed, they had to come up something pretty quickly. It was a pretty cool experience to observe and laugh about.
