Proposal

For the interpretation of the glass menagerie we decided to focus on the ending scene of the play which is the part when Jim and Amanda have a conversation about how he has a spouse, and can not come back to see the family. This scene then goes into the a scene between tom and Amanda that leads to tom leaving because he cannot take the judgement from his mother. The character that I am playing will be Amanda. Who is a over the top, rambunctious character, who can be sort of annoying at times.  Her emotions and feelings of stress, depression, and anxiety from her husband leaving her rubs off on her children a lot in the play. For me playing her character I will have to be loud and very outgoing. She is a vocal character that is not shy to say her opinion and is very unsympathetic. I think this will be a little bit of a challenged for me because I am not that outgoing as a person so I will have to be very loud and high pitched to play her character. I will have to focus on nagging and complaining so that the characters Jim, and tom in the play can see how pathetic of a character I am and how needy I am for a better life. This scene is important for the play because it is the point of the play where Jim breaks the ice to Amanda and makes her lose all her hope for a better life or some type of escape from the lifestyle that she is living. Also this scene is the point where tom has finally had enough and doesn't want to deal with his mother and the constant pressure of being the only source for the house. Also he is tired of putting up with the constant criticism and judgement. Tom leaves in the scene and he moves on to another life. I think Amanda's character is very important in this scene because she is the main character that is upset and has the most depressing news. One thing she has to go through is the fact that her daughters only crush is engaged to be married and her son just left the house with no intent of coming back. She has to now figure out what she will do for her daughter and for herself and  their living conditions because she has no one but herself and her daughter to attend to and look to for any kind of help. Also in this scene you can see the disappointment from Amanda. She was let down by Tom in her opinion because she felt like her son was supposed to be their for her no matter what and he should have known better then to bring a married man into the house when in her head she thought tom knew her intention.  Which was to bring someone home for Laura. When I play this scene I am going to focus on the anger and disappointment that Amanda has and her strong feelings and emotions overtaking how she should have really reacted.

This is just to say

The words that stick out to me with the sound are words like plums, icebox, delicious, sweet, and cold. I think mainly because they are feeling words and the writer probably wanted he reader to feel the words. Also in the beginning the first stanza of the poem when the writer says the plums that were in the icebox had stuck out to me because of the T sounds that I got from the poem. Also the last stanza when the writer says so sweet and so cold. The so was repeated twice to emphasize the amount of sweetness and coldness. Also the s sounds. The meaning of the poem is that whomever has eaten the plums did because of temptation and the writer is trying to have he reader feel that temptation. They didn’t really want to eat them I’m assuming but get were really hungry and they want whomever those plums were to understand the reasoning behind it. They also want to be forgiven for what they did. Some images that come to my head is like a cooler of some sort with plums in there. Only he plum...

Play review: The romeo and juliet play at the park was very interesting. We were all laid out comfortably on blankets on the grass. The play started at 8:00. It was the original shakespeare play but with a twist. It started off with the scene in the village, and then went into a scene with juliet and her mother . In between the scenes they played more modern day music which i thought was entertaining because it gave the play more of a modern feel. During the play there was singing a little through out but it was mostly a straight play. The costumes that the characters in the play wore were accurate to the time period of romeo and juliet. There was a scene in the play where they foreshadowed the death of juliet when she wore a white robe that both tybalt and mercutio wore when they died. Because the play was a romance tragedy, there were two or three scenes where romeo and juliet kissed. In the play they danced a lot as well, but to keep the play a little modern the actors were danci...
