I Have A Question
How do you think Caitlin's disabilities will influence Alex's musical growth and/or personal development if they have any effect at all?
There will be more characters to come with the influx of new band kids!!!
Ohh these are interesting! I'm cited to see who will be introduced!!
DeleteDoes Mira we're hearing aids?
I think that Caitlin's disabilities do influence Alex in a positive way.
As far as what I have recorded recorded, no.
DeleteI think Alex will have a vastly different view of disability from her peers and will be a better musician for it. For example, she will not waste her time with a voice she does not have and instead perfect the one she has.
I agree that Alex will have a very different view of disability as Steve and Caitlin both have them. It is better to use the good things you have then waste time trying to get something unobtainable.
DeleteThat and Alex learns about courage in a way that other kids don't (at least not from their music teachers).
DeleteThat is very true. I'm excited to know what will happen next! :)
DeleteMeredith:
ReplyDeleteHow did Gavin get into the game? I suppose he wanted to join in the Elder Scrolls.
Was this when he was still alive or after his death?
I understand that lots of this comes in a cluster.
FlutistPride:
Musical growth and personal development are often very closely connected.
Caitlin might encourage Alex to play by himself and discover music in the Minecraft verse.
If she is triggered by sounds or other sensory information...
Can definitely see Cory and Caitlin.
How does Adrian treat his anaemia? [The British spellchecker changed it into "anomie"]. And how did he get it? Are there any Adrian-focused stories in Misadventures?
Mark and focal dystonia.
I always thought Gavin was the coolest kid and so I wanted to honor him in some way so not he is his own character (one of Valans close friends along with Ben elegy and Aiden as well as another boy, Logan) this was before his death.
DeleteLots of things do come in clusters but manifest in different ways
Very true.
DeleteIt's a great way to honour him.
Glad you clarified "before his death". It may have been a little creepy to have done it afterwards. [and did he show any interest in computer games while he was alive? Supernova convention is on at the moment ... lots of anime/comics/sci-fi/fantasy].
Cool kids can be the hardest to model or imitate, let alone create. I think gaming can sometimes make it easier.
Elegy is Ben's surname? I'll have a look at Aiden and Logan.
Yes that would have been creepy. I think he loved to read and use his IPad but I'm not sure about computer games.
DeleteYes they can, it makes it a little easier as there are not very structured rules.
Oh that was a typo, his surname is Elway. I wrote a post a while ago on who and what Valans friends names symbolize.
