From the very early writings, the story began to play out in the authors head as if he were watching or listening to a school play. The characters voices and habits so clear as if they were being performed right in front of him while he wrote what he experienced. The customary student acting errors, missed lines and cues, and the laughter of an auditorium filled with parents influenced the writing. From the very first day, this illusion of a play returned every day when Pixote was being written, edited, or read. These auditory illusions are always there in the mind.Alternate Title
