Milo diary entry 1

1st January 2009: 

I've just arrived at this young offenders institute. I think it's a mental place. But I'm not fucking mental so I don't know why I'm here. Everyone wears white and we just look stupid as hell. It seems I'm the only person in here with a brain. Everyone else seems to enjoy being here. I've already threatened to kill one of the members of staff because he told me to take off my rings. Idiot. Oh and the reason for being here. I killed my parents. Because they annoyed me. Everyday of my life. My friends told me it was a good idea and said I'd feel better if I just silenced them so I did. I cut their lips off first and made them swallow razors because it'd shut them up. It was a good day. But now I'm in this shithole...

Milo diary entry

17th April 2009

I hate everyone. Today I spent or should I say 'wasted' the whole day waiting outside for the three biggest idiots in the world to put together a ridiculous so called performance. Which by the way I absolutely fucking hate. My character is Gwendoline, I want to kill her she's so annoying. How can you play the part of someone you want to kill slowly. I'll tell you who I hate the most. Rose. She's so full of crap, she sits there all day pretending she enjoys being in this crap place. She's just full of pills and fake, that's what she is fake. If I was in a room with just her and no one else I would deck her. The only person I can put up with in this place is Kinsey. He doesn't try to hide what he did. He isn't trying to make things right. He did what he did. I'm the same. Except for the fact that I enjoyed killing my parents. No regrets. The screams fueled me with power... Did I mention how much I hate George? Especially today when he lectured Kinsey.  All because he thinks that being a director and putting in a show is going

To get the world to forgive him for murdering a child.. Prick. I haven really got round to know much about Allan yet. He doesn't like George it seems. Which is a good thing because George is an idiot. Tomorrow if we don't get through this stupid play. I will most likely assault one of them.. 

Milos relationship with Kinsey and other characters

In the first half of the play in act 1. Not all characters are onstage. In fact Kinsey and Milo are offstage until the entrance on page 18. During this time it says that George and Kinsey are outside waiting for the entire time. This clearly showed me that milo can put up with Kinsey. Which means there must be some kind of understanding between the two characters. Despite attacking Kinsey during milos crazy outburst. Both milo and Kinsey at the end of the play both decide to continue on with the performance. Which also establishes a small friendship. 

Kinsey is really the only friend milo has. His relationship with the other characters is really poor. He tends to personally dig at each character throughout the play and I think he just doesn't like anyone or wants to be a part of anything. 

Jamie bulger case and the killers

Criminals George and Kinsey:

Sentences:

The pair were found guilty on 24 November 1993, making them the youngest convicted murderers in modern English history. They were sentenced to custody until they reached adulthood, initially until the age of 18, and were released under new identities and on a lifelong licence in June 2001. In 2010, Venables was sent to prison for violating the terms of his licence of release, and was released on parole again in 2013.

The case has prompted widespread debate on the issue of how to handle young offenders when they are sentenced or released from custody.

Murder: cctv evidence from the New Strand Shopping Centre in Bootle taken on 12 February 1993 showed Thompson and Venables casually observing children, apparently selecting a target. The boys were playing truant from school, which they did regularly. Throughout the day, Thompson and Venables were seen stealing various items including sweets, a troll doll, some batteries and a can of blue paint, some of which were later found at the murder scene. One of the boys later revealed that they were planning to find a child to abduct, lead him to the busy road alongside the mall, and push him into the path of oncoming traffic.

The two boys brutally murdered James near a railway that same day. 

It's quite obscure because the characters George and Kinsey are very different. Kinsey accepts what he has done. Even says in the script that he isn't ever going to leave. And George is in denial. Never wants to talk about the incident and just assumes that after performing the play they will just be forgiven. George just wants to move on and doesn't want anything to do with Kinsey. We can see that the two characters are meant to represent John venebles and Robert Thompson because one of them (Robert) is not too bothered about what happend. And (John) gets very squirmy and unhappy when it's brought up in conversation. When goerge says "I don't want to talk about Worthing" we can also tell that they are representing the child killers. In the script George is talking to Kinsey about the murder and how he was only 11 years old. 

Character name change

Changes to the script: in the normal script. The character Irene was given to me. I'm a boy. The character Irene was a girl, a tall ugly Scottish girl. When I was given that part I obviously couldn't act as a girl. So I changed the name to milo. I kept all the characters background the same and stuck to the script. I just had to change my name so it suited better. The only downside there was. Was all the other characters having to change in the script whenever they say my name to say milo instead of Irene. Which is difficult because Natrually you just read and learn what is written infront of you. So it was quite hard to adapt to but we managed to work around it. 

Relationships with characters

Milos relationship with Allan is quite bleak. Seeing as Allan is new I don't think milo has too much of a problem with him. Apart from maybe not liking him because he received a better part than milo got. And milo has been there longer.

Milo absolutely hates rose with a passion, there is always a lot of tension in the room when rose and milo are together. Throughout the play, Rose often makes digs personally at milo. And milo responds with threats of violence. Probably not a good idea to keep these two characters in the same room for too long.

From the other character notes we can see that milo is feared quite a lot by the other characters. Most of the characters just don't understand why he's the way he is. I don't think they understand milos up brining and how painful/difficult it was. Kinsey says that milo and him have something in common and that's 'they don't like the play' so they can relate to something in a sense.

Milo doesn't really even care for specs. He never digs at specs or attacks specs. Meaning specs is either really really dodgy and needs to be avoided. Or milo just doesn't feel the need to bully him. I think specs has a brutal past that even haunts milo 

Anger management team report 2008 (when I'll was 14)

Milo is an outgoing opinionated young man. He is forced by his parents to attend our sessions due to his intense anger problems. He's normally dragged in shouting and thumping around. He tends to resort to violence. A few weeks ago he was struggling more than usual and beat one of our team members. He spent four days in hospital. Luckily milo got away with it due to the problems he had. His patience levels were low and he barely spoke to us. And when he did. He just described how he would hurt and kill people he hated. Gory details also. We tried transferring him to specialists but they would not have him. Milo is staying with us for three more weeks. His anger and violence is starting to get out of hand and its threatening the members of staff.

Tuesday 29th March milos home life

After doing a bit more research into my character I think I know the seriousness of what milo has done. Close to the end of the play. Kinsey is telling milo small details about what we have all done to be in the institute. Although he doesn't reveal everything each character does he dropped a massive hint about milo. He mentions how milo can't go back to his family because there is not much left of them. Which indicates that milo must have committed murders to his family members. This can also tell us that milo had a rough childhood. I also got this idea from the quote by Kinsey. Because who wants to kill their parents these days? Also in the script it announces who milos character is. Saying he's a well built Scottish teenager quite ugly. This appearance would not have helped. Milo also mentions while talking about his

Character Gwendoline that she wouldn't have lasted two minutes on his estate. She would have just been killed for her name. This indicates that where milo lived there was a lot of violence and corruption. Crime rate was possible higher and hate was bred. Which lead to milos murders
