I love that he has become a curious and extroverted participant in his high school English classes because he has the confidence to face Shakespearean plays without fear. I love that he is writing brilliantly when he is approaching these and other texts, plays, poetry, and fiction. He did not show this kind of ability or confidence in English class before Traveling Players.
