For this assignment I read the fourth chapter of Shawn Sears' Marquee Value. In this chapter, Jack goes to a workshop to audition for a play based on a popular television show. We see his initial audition at which he meets several people with whom he has competed with for parts in the past. The audition goes extremely well and he gets a call back. At the call back he is narrowed down to the final three and believes he was best . We are left as the casting director is trying to decide who to cast as the lead.
The chapter was very enjoyable and entertaining and I often found myself being able to relate to some of the things he did and saw at the audition which made me realize that most auditions are somewhat similar despite what their production value or the type of show may be.
The author's intent was to entertain the reader with the story of Jack possibly getting a lead role in a big production for the first time and not just being stuck in as an understudy. He used a chronological organization pattern to tell the story as and how it unfolds.
