    To gain a better understanding of scripts, I must go to the roots or the origins of scriptwriting. This
    way, not only will I learn of the history but how or why scriptwriting has evolved. To do this, I must
    research the origins of theatre since plays were later rewritten as scripts, as far as my understanding
    goes.
