The Glass Menagerie Pre-Show Discussion Answers (It was all Kervin Cano!))

1.) If I had to write a play based on my family the format I would use is comedy because I most of the time just do things just for the laughs. I would only use a few members of the family if I did do a play. Yes, I would be proud to share my story with my family itself.

2.) What I think the symbolism for the title is obsession. The glass menagerie is so important to Laura because to start this out she loved her glass menagerie, since it is made of glass it is too vulnerable for being fragile so it takes splendid care for them to be okay. I think she chose to collect all the little animals because collecting stuff feels like an accomplishment. They were made of glass because it gives divine beauty. The glass has great quality, and that relates to Laura by her desire for having greatness.

3.) From what I know, there was conflict between Germany and the United States back in urban America in the 1930s. That affected people's lives by being drafted to armies to both countries and be forced to choose sides between Germany and the U.S. . This could have affected the lives of the Wingfields by ruining their goals to triumph their dreams of whatever they desired. (Draft or death maybe). I think the times play after a last bad meeting between Amanda and Tom.

4.)I think the future of television in the 1930s was far off less than 20 years after. I don't think Jim was so well forward-thinking. If I was to "get in on the floor" of an industry, it would be a book writer. I think the impact would take only a few years.

Civil Disobedience Subject.

I'm not in a group yet but what I'm interested for my civil disobedience project is to talk about how some parents' mess up their kids' childhoods and cause them to have a failure future, in my opinion.

Here are three ideas of why this subject should be at its end:

1.) It causes depression to the child.

2.) It creates a bad personality to the child.

3.) It could possibly cause death at young age.

My teenage suicide website choice.

http://www.cfw.tufts.edu/?/category/health/1/topic/teen-suicide/156/

Teenagers commit suicide because of their current problems they cannot fix and seem impossible to escape. This causes them huge stress, loss of hope, and worst of all, deeply lowers their desire to live on. I've been through many hard times and stress myself, but I know there's always a way out. Although, for those teenagers who took their lives for their problems must've probably been in a serious situation I've never experienced. I know this part your about to read is off the subject but suicides often leave the spirits of the dead walking in our world, unable to rest in peace perhaps for eternity. That is the worst thing that could happen after death. The link above will give you helpful information in to how the teenage suicide can be stopped before it's too late.

Victory goes to evil.

The tale is a fail

when the end is quail,

innocent souls falling

is the devil's ending.

Beginnings aren't happy

forever when evil strikes

down the sympathy

with twisted lies.

Spirits and demons named

for the chaotic nonsense

of tragedies reigned

in the plot of madness.

The evil was a girl,

a girl of beauty,

perhaps the devil's girl

due to evil insanity.

She played as a child

of the Lord,

she was looking mild.

She danced in the woods,

laughter at prayer,

no longer thought of goods,

caught and then danger.

She created the group

meant to follow her

meant to help her,

and not to turn on her

or else it's your body

in hell's angry fiery.

There are the public enemy,

calling her witch,

a whore,

a liar,

and murder.

With no evidence to prove guilt,

there shall be no winning,

only seen as the real guilt

and go down loosing.

The nation wants the good as dead,

they want them brutally hanged,

they want them forever disappeared,

from the world of the damned.

She has met her goal

to get her victims to flow,

up the blue sky,

to move on out of her eye.

She became victorious,

now she must flee

to escape the ferocious

as the truth is free.

She is just a girl,

a beautiful girl,

but the real her,

is a soul of twisted anger,

Her name is

Abigail Williams.

Yes, I do believe that love changes a person by a lot! I've seen it occur many times in life and they all had the same result; bad! I have been through so much evidence that says that love hurts! Let me tell you my best example! I have a cousin called Abigail and we both always were good to each other for such a long time. Until, when this douche bag called Jaime showed up! They both fell in deep love after a short period of knowing each other. When they have been in love, so much has changed. Abigail barely paid some attention to her family, and no longer talked much to me anymore. She only thought Jaime was everything. She was forgetting about everyone else. Then, the worst part of this was that Abigail has lost her........... whatever. Then, nearly a year later, they broke up. Abigail had her heart broken. I too felt her pain. Ever since then, she turned back to the way she was... cool. I'm telling you, love hurts!

Children's Stories.

What I expect from a children's story is always a happy ending. For every book I've read when I was little, there was always a happy ending. For example, I used to read a lot of Curious George. There was always a conflict in each book of Curious George, but they always had happy endings. I also read Captain Underpants when I grew a bit older. Every book had the same thing. Captain Underpants always beat the bad guys and then there was a calm, happy ending( sort of ). Also, I watched many children movies when I was little too. I liked watching Pixar movies the most because they always had a powerful story line and it had happy endings too. Most of the children stories will always have a happy ending.
