~looking thru my eyes~: Role Play: A Different Switch

For our class, Academic Writing, for our assignment we had to have role play. And as public relations students we have to act a scene which involves public relations. Therefore my group which consisted of Jared, Jason, Wai Sum, Sneha, Su Ann and me thought of doing a true story which happened in the past.

Marie Antoinette was the daughter of France and she was one of the most beautiful girl among the other daughters. She was so obsess about herself that what is happening to the country does not concern her but what to wear and what matches her nails grabs her attention. She treats her maids and ministers horribly. One day when famine hit the country and the villagers were out of bread and were protesting at the castle’s gate the minister went to Marie Antoinette to tell her about the problem and with a petulant flick of her hair she told the minister to ask them to eat cake. This shocked the minister and angered the villagers. They manage to brake into the castle and capture her. They sentence her to have her head copped off.

Well this would be different if we had a public relations officer who would advise the princess on what is best. A public relations officer will know his audience and what they want. Understand whats best for them and using the best way to overcome the situation. The minister would then advise Marie Antoinette that by making that comment is an insult to the villagers for they do not have bread what more cake. How does she expect them to eat cake when even bread they do not have. Instead she should find out how much they have in the vault and bring out some more to give the villagers so they would have food to eat.

Hehe so that was our role play. Hope our lecturer likes it! Jared was sporting enough to be Marie Antoinette to give our act a little twist! It was hell of fun giving Jared a make up! Thanks for being so sporting yea and we all know you look better as a guy dun worry!!!
