12/4/13 I found this article on how to make an actor become a three-dimensional character. The Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts Dee Cannon shares the ten questions that actors need to investigate about their character to make them a fully-idealised person instead of just a character's dialogue with a visual of them. The ten questions and Cannon's advice on how to answer the questions through your character's point of view helped me to understand how professional actor's are able to become the character. A couple of the questions reminded me of what I talked about with Jen Allred about how to act my break-up scene in "A Christmas Carol" well. It also gave me other suggestions that I will use the next character I act.

I was introduced to this website when I began my Human Development final project on aromatherapy. This site is the best one that I have come across throughout all of my research; it is very organized and there is just so much information. The main headers are aromatherapy articles, aromatherapy recipes, carrier oil profiles, essential oil profiles, hydrosol profiles and aromatherapy books. The purpose of this article is to give you information about what essential oils are and how to use them. I think that this is an amazing source; it starts at the very basics and becomes more complex as you continue. Not only does it tell you about a bunch of oils and their health benefits but it shows you how to make your own aromatherapy recipes. The aromatherapy web is definitely accurate because there are a bunch of people who work on it and I'm sure that they would correct each other if anyone made a mistake. I would recommend this source to anyone who wants to research aromatherapy or who wants to try it. Because this website was so organized it was easy for me to answer my questions. This site helped me to expand my knowledge on aromatherapy and think about all the natural ways of healing.
