Hello everyone, has anyone seen Ragtime? It's a popular historical broadway play that I love and adore. It takes place in early America before World War One and the characters are divided up into three groups: New Rochelle, Harlem, and Immigrants. All different yet alike, Blue and mines High School did it in last year and we were in it. We played to immigrants from Latvia. So cool! Anyway I'm thinking of doing of Miraculous Ladybug AU based off of it. What I loved most about the play was the music, the love, and the family in it. Both groups had families they wanted to love and give everything to and I admire that. It also mentioned a lot of famous people from history.
Here who's who in the groups.

Act 1
Begins with three children Adrien is a privileged young boy living in New Rochelle with his wealthy, stern father who owned shirt factory and his gentle but extremely protective mother. Marinette is a cheerful young girl from Europe moving to America with her loving parents a poor baker and his wife hoping to get a better life in. And Nino a boy living in Harlem with his friend Alya and her father, learning to play Ragtime music.
Act 2
Takes place years later when they're adults. And that's all I'm saying
I am in love with history and historical fiction, why you ask? Well there are so many reasons, I guess I admire what great people did and how people back then lived but I think what really got me hooked was that my family has played a big part in it. My great grandfather fought in World war 2 and parachuted out of a plane on D-day, another great grandfather of mine fought in World war 2 and the Korean War I think. (I've got a lot of War men in my family) A great grandfather before them who was American fell in love and married a French immigrant (My great grandmother, maternal grandmother, and I all take after her in looks: Fair skinned and dark haired) one of my great grandmothers was a Cherokee Indian, and my paternal grandmother lives on land that was previously a plantation owned by my ancestors in the south. So yeah my family's pretty involved. Also I like how through out history people back then actually had something to complain about it and did something about it, they worked hard, educated themselves, protested peacefully instead of Resulting to violence except for in the war. And men and women actually did something to help people, something really heroic nowadays most people just...well I'm not getting into that.
If you haven't seen or heard of Ragtime. Look it up because it's a great play.
