Habit: I enjoyed this chapter, because Mamet talks about the need to leave personal issues on the street and theatrical issues inside the theatre. This can help to make for a better performance. Mamet also talks about how there is no character onstage; it is you, "Everything you are. Nothing can be hidden." This is both terribly frightening and oddly reassurring to me. I feel comfortable onstage.
The Designated Hitter: This chapter really confused me. I'm not even sure what I just read...I think that Mamet talked about how the profession of acting is a respectable one; to be compared with things that have their place in society, such as nurses, teachers, etc. But again, I'm not really sure. There were just a lot of words and I did not understand most of them.
