2 Chapter Introduction
Matthew Delorteau :
- Okay, a little more to the left... Just like that... starts explaining things to her (he whispers to his niece) ... Yes, just like that.
Thalia Blondoise- Delorteau :
- So, um... this interview is for my school newspaper and is sponsored by YouTube, Google, Wattpad, WebNovel, and Netflix. The first trailer will be made by the French TV show TPMP, which means "don't touch my workstation." I have a couple of ... Uh, a few questions to ask.
Ayanna:
- I have a question for you, guys? And I'd like to... maybe you've already said it, but... How did you get this interview with me? And what do you plan to do with a whole movie? Or a series about me?
Thalia:
- It's an interview for the school newspaper, it's true, but not only for me, but it's also to get to know you better because in one of your interviews you said that we didn't know you the real one?
So what don't we know?
--------------------------------------------------------24-----------------------------------------------------
And for the other question, it will be up to Netflix, Google, Wattpad, WebNovel, and YouTube to decide if they want to agree to tell the cystic fibrosis advocate's life story.
Ayanna :
- I'm just a spokesperson for my feelings.
Thalia :
- So what are you saying? Are you saying that you don't care about others? That others don't come before your feelings?
Ayanna:
Don't get me wrong. And don't twist my words, to get the best scoop in the world, let people finish their sentences, a tip for becoming a good journalist and not a despised one. Because in time, it will backfire. And it's hard to recover from a significant fall when your reputation had deeply sullied.
Thalia :
- Sorry, Ayanna, I may have left at the last minute.
Ayanna:
- It's okay, I can understand, and you learn from your mistakes. It's I don't want anything wrong to happen to you and your career. Because you seem like a nice girl, and I think I can feel like I'm lying to myself that you have a long and promising career behind you.
---------------------------------------------------25----------------------------------------------------------
Thalia: -Thanks.
Ayanna :
- You're welcome.
I'm just saying that I'm just a spokesperson for my feelings. I am not saying anything else. Afterward, if people want to refer to me, then fine, and it's even super-cool.
But first of all, it's important to point out that it's about my feelings, how I think, how I make the words I'm going to say. It's hard enough to be a spokesperson for myself.
So imagine the difficulty of talking about other people's feelings. It's hard to speak for others. It's hard to put yourself in other people's shoes. And if thanks to the way I think and say things, they find a little bit of themselves, I would be more than happy. For me, it would be a great privilege and a great honor.
Matthew:
- Can we start with the questions from the school?
Ayanna:
- Yes, anytime.
Thalia:
Ayanna- so let's start. Um... [Clears throat] Ayanna, since this interview appeared in the student newspaper's year-end issue, we had made a questionnaire for the students who would like to know you when you were a child.
Ayanna:
- Well, I'm willing to answer almost anything.
----------------------------------------------------26---------------------------------------------------------
Thalia :
- When you are a little girl and a teenager, what was your reference?
And when you are a little girl, what was the question most asked by people or your family?
Matthew:
- Thalia, you should have asked one question at a time. She could answer it and give you a little more time for the interview. I'm sorry she's starting the discussions.
Thalia:
- Oh yes, Uncle (She says embarrassed) ... sorry.
Ayanna:
- No, it doesn't matter because these two issues are linked.
Thalia:
- Why is that?
Matthew:
- Yes, why?
-------------------------------------------------27------------------------------------------------------------
Ayanna:
- If I remember when I was little, my friends and family always asked me the same question. What kind of role model do I have that I dream of being the same?
Aish... And now, with time and hindsight, I realize that no one looked like me or almost like me. The one who marked me in my childhood is Grégory Lemarchal. This young French singer suffering from cystic fibrosis made his debut on a Star Academy show.
I remember that he was on that show a year before my sister had surgery on both knees. And three years before my operation, for my knees too.
He was a young singer who was the first boy to win in that show, judging it as a programmed winner for others. But no matter, he was an angel's voice.
Thalia: - It was?
Ayanna:
- Yes, he died the day I should have had the operation, April 30, 2007.
Thalia:
- It was a... I don't know what to say... It's hard to say... I'm sorry I did it.
Ayanna:
- It's okay. Gregory Lemarchal fought with conviction; He shared his values. He became a star without losing any of his virtue. Perhaps his illness conquered him.
-----------------------------------------------28--------------------------------------------------------------
Death may have taken him away from everyone. But there is one thing that death and his illness will never be able to deal with, and that is the way he struck people, touched them in the depths of their hearts.
Thalia:
- He is beautiful. You were talking about my site. "I should have had surgery," why didn't it work?
Ayanna:
- My sister and I are complementary, even though we are two years apart.
When she wants something, I understand. And vice versa.
And if she wants to say something but can't find the words, I fill in her words. And vice versa
Or we can express our sentences at the same time. We can talk to each other several times. And we can't be far away from each other without our absence, causing us a lot of pain.
A year ago, our mother asked us a question about moving to our home island while my sister was in Ireland and I was in Italy. She sent me a message:
"Ayanna, I want the living room to be more modern, to look like a mix of old and modern. What do you think? I don't remember the turn of phrase, but let's imagine that's it. I say, "Yes, but seriously, that would have been too cool, but always ask Leslie." And I see my mom calling. I answer. And she says: "you talked to your sister, it's me, and you want to drive me crazy" "No, mom, I swear, but why are you telling me this? "She admits that on that day, my sister and I wrote the same message, and the only difference is in the name.
------------------------------------------------29----------------------------------------------------
Thalia :
-Wow
Ayanna:
-Yes, Wow. But that's not the unique thing.
Thalia:
-You don't think so?
Ayanna:
-No, because before I went for surgery, at that time, my sister and I were on our island, Reunion Island. Because even though we had our doctors in metropolitan France, we also consulted specialists on our island to understand our illness better. Our trip to our island was due to the meeting of her doctors every year.
But let us pass, the day before, my sister had to stay again on Reunion Island, and I had to leave.
And we just said a simple goodbye, "we will meet tomorrow morning again to say goodbye." But then my mother and I left very early in the morning without being able to say goodbye correctly to my sister.
And one day before my operation, I had a 40-degree fever, and my doctor didn't want to cancel the procedure to see how it would go.
The day of my operation came, and it has canceled because I had 40 degrees of fever. At that news, my mother called my dad to tell him what was happening to me.
--------------------------------------------30---------------------------------------------------------
My father asked her if she was sure. He later told her that my sister, who is two years older than me, more than 11 miles away from me, with 10 hours of plane travel and three hours of jet lag, also had a fever of 40 degrees on the same day.
It's just because we didn't say goodbye correctly.
Thalia :
- Ah, yes, anyway.
Ayanna:
Today, "All of the Stars" and "Five feet apart" or on this day, young Claire Wineland, who is a year older than me.
-------------------------------------------------------------31----------------------------------------------------------
Ayanna: POV :
- I'm not saying I didn't have someone I admired when I was little and still do. But I don't remember there being sick people. I'm not saying that the sick people played severely, but...
It's a problem that the standard models are complicated. The other films are less difficult to interpret and are appreciated by everyone because it's a story that comes out of the head and then out of the period. But here, the sick are portrayed without hurting them and without insults from all sides. It's something bigger than them.
The only thing I can see today is the sick people, their lives, their family, their friends, and their intimacy becoming St. Mary's commercials. You know, those little bald kids smiling with a camera in front of them and saying, "Make a donation." "It's like that's all they deserve?
What kind of life is that?
What kind of human would do that?
Do you want us to go home to your private life? No? It pisses me off...
What do we pass on to the sick?
What kind of message would you give them?
"You can only become the spokesperson for the charities. »?
It's dehumanizing!
