What suggestions do you have in making this Marc character more realistic in age-acting? Yeah, I mean italics. For some reason I'm used to calling it cursive.

When I say Marc could be more child-like, I'm mainly thinking about how horrid the sight must be for a small child, and  how he might try to relate what he sees to past experience. "Instantly, The Wizard of Oz and all the news footage that had shown tornadoes flashed through his first-grade mind," is a perfect example that I would like more of. Having him try to cope with something completely new to him by relating it to things he's seen elsewhere is how children think.

When one thing seems like the other to a child, it might as well be like the other.
