1. who am I who is your character
I am a mother who's name is anonymous. I am a Haitian woman so I am most likely black skinned. the only relatives that are present in the play is my son who's name is also anonymous. I am stuck between the devil and god. in the play I m in conflict with myself and my actions whether I want to be a night woman, or a day woman. I am afraid of my son finding out that I am currently selling my body to men, because he is getting older and I want to be a good example for him, and he soon will realize what I do. I believe in my sons education and that education will be the platform to being successful.
2. what time is it
It is currently spring because I casually will spring clean and my son is still in school so it isn't summer. In Haiti right now there still is a racial divide. especially in the work place. black Haitians (Haitian women) are not allowed to work in well paying jobs. they are in low paying jobs and there are not many. you could be a maid, or peace worker mostly for women, and most Haitian women stay home and don't work.
3. where am I
I am in Haiti, the exact place is not exact but i live in an apartment in the city that is non expensive to live. the apartment is a one room place and the place I divide by a curtain to allow my son to have his own room.
4. what surrounds me what is happening in the environment around you
me and my son live together he goes to school my surroundings are busy city streets and they are probably crowded from time to time.
5.what are the given circumstances
my ex husband used to be in my life but no longer is, and my son is living without a father. I am a prostitute, or a night woman in other words. this is my job and how I make money to support myself and my son. this job allows me to make more money then I would if I only had a maid job or a peace worker job. also I enjoy watching my son go to school, and also having my days to myself. If I wasn't a night woman I would have to make less money. my goal is to leave Haiti and move to America and make a life for myself and son. I mainly depend on my son to get us there with his education.
6.what are my relationships
the relationships that I have are the ones with my customers. the men that come to see me. I know small characteristics of them. I mention Alexander who is an accordion player. and there is Emmanuel who is coming to see me that night that the play takes place.
7. what do I want
I want to be able to choice a lifestyle and be confident with the outcome. in the long term I want to live a regular life and I want my son to be happy doing what he wants to do. overall I want me and my son to be content with life but mainly I want my son to have everything he needs.
8. what is in my way
I currently have the obstacle of whether or not I should continue being a night woman or if I should choose to value my morals of being a woman and preserving my body instead of giving my body to men. I am dealing with putting my sons emotions above his needs. also I am dealing with letting my son know that I am actually doing what I am doing. because it appears to be a secret in the play.
9.what do I do to get what I want
what I am going to have to do is have a talk with my son expressing what is happening, and the challenge that I'm going through and then i'm going to have to find a way to make money for my son, and do a different job or area of work.

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...
