We come to realize how insecure Mossi is because of her innovation with the students.

We also meet styles like satire because of her conflicting view with Mossi.

We expect the play as she resists Mossi’s suggestion of doing away with The samaritan

a. Innovative and creative

The conflicting aspect of a bright future and a dark future results from their strained imagination

b. Courageous

They confidently stand before the rest of the learners and the Mayors team to present their play and App.

They show how focused Nicole is and how selfish the Mayor is.

They set the plot in motion with their play and innovation.

They build the play within a play.
