I'd say the best part is making new characters to interact with the main ones and coming up with names to fit the genre. And Newsies names are some of the most awesome to come up with. My name was Knickerbockers or "Knicks" for short (and my ambition was to try a knockwurst before I died. Still haven't managed that one yet, and I lived in New York for a year!). My cousin's name was Dodger, and it's been so long I can't remember all the names of the Newsies fans I met online. Oh yes, there was an online chat group following or something. And we all loved to type in New York accents. I'm telling you, it's a skill, people! haha!
This leads me to today's articles. They are fraught with all kinds of amazing newsboy street names and lots of juicy accents as we've seen in the previous articles. And there are a lot of articles at this point in the strike. We're heading into the infamous "Newsboys Meeting" at Irving Hall that Disney capitalizes on. The real event sounds just as raucous an affair as they allude to in the movie.
Without further ado - July 25, 1899.
