Without You (Post 3)

“I don’t know how to feel about a loss”
“How I am supposed to act”

In these couple of chapters Anthony has tried out for the off Broadway, more like a workshop, musical RENT. He makes and he is the character Mark. He and along with about fifteen other actors/actresses are in the musical. He meets all the producers, stage help and falls in love with the whole thing (be in mind he hasn’t sang on stage since he was very young). The musical goes on for about a couple months and the critics don’t like it very much they think it’s a waste of time not one of the best but somewhat of a good musical. The actual audience loves it; Anthony’s best friend is absolutely in love with it.

When the musical finally closes Anthony’s grandfather passes away, he was never really that close to his grandfather but he still has to go to the funeral. He and his older brother Adam travel back to the little town of Joliet, Illinois. This is the chapter we finally meet his mother, she is a skinny but doesn’t look that healthy but joyous women. In this chapter Anthony has emotional barriers he doesn’t know how to act or feel at his grandfathers funeral.
