    EFP 10: Key Scene Re-Creation Example

    (Screenplay)
    Scene Play-Indian Horse  
    Set in the winter of 1961. Somewhere in Manitoba,
    Canada. Saul Indian Horse has just watched and
    observed a game of hockey for the first time while
    attending St.Jerome's Residential school. He is
    standing at the edge of a homemade rink in his
    winter clothes with his jaw dropped and eyes wide.   
    ENTERS FATHER LEBOUTILIER SKATING UP TO
    SAUL
    Father: " There's an order  to the game, Saul, a
    process. You may not see it all yet, but with time and
    practice, you will."
    SAUL KNEELS DOWN AND OBSERVES THE ICE
    Saul: "I see it already. The lines they create space
    and boundaries. Certain spaces make certain moves
    and passes possible."
    FATHER KNEELS DOWN BESIDE SAUL AND
    PATS HIS BACK.
    Father: "I knew there was a reason God pushed me
    to introduce you to the game. I am very impressed
    you can see this so soon. You have great potential
    son."
    FATHER WALKS BACK INTO THE TALL RED
    BUILDING AND SAUL IS STILL THERE,
    STANDING BESIDE THE ICE MUMBLING TO
    HIMSELF.
    Describing the Scene
    A) Saul is a young Ojibway boy in a residential
    school in Manitoba. Until this point he has little hope
    or joy in his life. This is the scene where Saul is first
    introduced to the sport of hockey. Father Leboutilier
    (who is one of the only adults who shows kindness
    towards Saul) felt the need to show him the game
    and see how Saul reacted.
    B) This scene in the book shows how the connection
    between Saul and hockey first began. He is amazed
    and stunned at how beautiful and complex thhe
    game is and Saul becomes determined to make
    Father proud. Even through everything terrible Saul
    endures every day; in the morning when he goes to
    the rink and practices, sll the abuse and neglect is
    thrown behind him and gives him reason. This game
    relates to Saul's previous life in a large way. When
    Saul was a young boy his family experienced a lot of
    hurt (Saul at Residential School), his mother and
    father were alcoholics and scared Saul (the nuns
    and priests), hockey becomes an escape for Saul
    and a safe place (his grandmother). This is a very
    important turn in events for Saul and impacts the
    rest of his life with the lessons he learns during the
    time he plays this sport.
    C) I chose to do a screenplay because I believed I
    could show in a clearer way the importance and the
    impact it had on Saul through describing and writing.
    I enjoy writing and I think it is a strength of mine and
    I wanted to challenge myself with this creative
    option.
