When a gunman suffering PTSD takes a first year class hostage, two trainee teachers work together to calm both the terrorfied children and the crazed gunman.
I agree with Gabe that the dramatic action line is rather passive and reactive. ?And certainly incomplete.Obviously, one of their 1st tasks would be to calm down the children and talk down the gunman, but surely that isn't the action/conflict that constitutes the entirety of Act 2?What does the gunmRead more

Obviously, one of their 1st tasks would be to calm down the children and talk down the gunman, but surely that isn’t the action/conflict that constitutes the entirety of Act 2?
What does the gunman want– what is his objective goal in taking hostages? ?And as a result, what must the 2 teenagers do about it — what becomes their objective goal?

Because I am familiar with police work, I am having trouble with the set up. ? When a cop is operating in the field alone, has no back up, it’s SOP to cuff a suspect being transported with both hands behind him. ? (And it’s SOP to transport a suspect with both of his hands behind him when there is back up. It’s just common sense SOP.) ?It’s totally impractical, not to mention dangerous, to seat the suspect in front, cuffed to one wrist of the transporting officer.
So how does it come to pass that they end up being cuffed together?
And how does it come to pass that a small time cop is transporting a convicted murderer? ?It’s also SOP to remand convicted prisoners to the county sheriffs or state police transport systems after being sentenced. ?It’s not credible that a small time cop would transport a convicted murderer, certainly not by his lonesome. ?(If the transporting officer lacks a back up, then it’s SOP to delay transport until one can be provided.)

Say “Vichy France” and most Americans will have no idea what you are referring to. ? Bottled water, perhaps? ?
Also, because changing demographics in the US population as well the evolution of international markets , Hollyweird made movies are tilting more toward subjects that will sell in Asia (China is now the most lucrative market by far) ?and South America, less toward Europe.
