RENT - What you own 12/10/16

Today, we practised and performed a couple of our solo numbers again and we got criticism from Mr Webb. I did Tango; Maureen again with Lorna, and I was told that when I am practising songs, I need to stand still and stand up straight because it affects my singing. I also practised What You Own with Tom (who played Roger before) and I think that went very well as I know the song very well, and because Tom is my brother and we both love the song, we have done it together at home. I think the song means that you should stop worrying about all of the little things in life that cause you pain and just focus on what is important - "Don't breathe to deep. Don't think all day." I think that thing song is very important to the characters of Mark and Roger because it makes them realise that even though they think their lives are the worst, they're not alone. During this song, these two people think about their lives - they think about what they're doing and about what they should do. At the end of the song, Mark quits his stupid job at Buzzline and Roger returns from Santa Fe to New York for Mimi.
For Mark, I think this song is really about him reflecting on all that has happened, and him finally letting out his feelings - which he never does. As well as obviously the previously mentioned.
