Discussion

This movie sounds really interesting. It’s neat when movies are based on the lives of real people.
They playwright who wrote Peter Pan had a lot of experiences with people that helped influence his writing, too.
Have you ever thought about writing a play? What would you write about? Would you create characters based on people in your own life?
