The Play.

On Friday night I went to the play on campus. At first I was reluctant and not sure as to what the play was about, and as I entered into the room all I saw were girls with bright colored clothes and make up that caught my eye. Little did I know the play would have nothing to do with the girls and what I was thinking it would have been about. I was unaware of what it would be like, and then it started. When the main character came out and it came to my attention that he was sick I was interested as to how the story would turn out. During the beginning I was unaware as to the girl dancers in the background but then I became aware that they were just mocking andmaking fun of everyhting that was going on play. I found it comical but at the same time very sad and grieving. The man was dying and there was so much going on that he was unaware about. His wife was just concerned about when he was going to pass and how much money she was going to be getting. This relates in a lot of ways to all the stories we have been reading in class that deal with love and death. Because that is pretty much all we have been reading in class. It has taught me a lot of how people are in real life. Even though we live in our Christian world where it is not always perfect, we still are unaware of what goes on in the world where people are just like the wife was in this play. People really are that way. This play made me sad for the man, but for a lot of other reasons. The daughter was being forced into something she did not want and the entire time the girls behind were mocking everythinng. It is as if they knew everything but no one else did. It kind of put a twist on things and made me laugh a lot during the entire thing. I enjoyed the play because of how comical and sad it was at the same time. It brought literature to life and let some of the stories and poems we have read in class come alive through action.
