Esther's Story

Chosen Destiny

Yesterday my mom and I, and a couple of other friends went to the play "Chosen Destiny" which was a play about Esther. God chose her to be Queen of Persia for the reason of saving her people, the Jews. I think Esther's idea to invite King Xeres to a banquet before telling him what Haman was plotting against her people was smart.
My favorite part of the play was when all the girls in the haram, who were there the contest of becoming Queen, started dancing and singing. A few of them even started fighting over who should become queen. Esther just sat quietly watching.
My other favorite part is when Haman had to honor Mordecai the Jew. He had wanted to kill him that day and the King decided to honor him instead. In the play two men dressed up in a horse custume and Mordecai rode on top wearing the King's best robe. Haman had to walk him through the streets proclaiming that this was the man the King wanted Honor!
It was really funny!
I also liked the costumes a lot. The ladies who made the dresses were really good at sewing!
There was also a orchestra of all home schooled kids. Most of them were playing violins and other string instruments.
After the play my mom and I went to a coffee shop. I got a cookie and some apple cider... yummy!!! I love going on dates with my mom.
