@Amy86465625 2. The most similar comparison would be Pecola from The Bluest Eye due to both of their strong desires to be white.

@Amy86465625 1. Director Bob wants what is best for Bubbly so he accepts her for who she is. Her mom on the other hand, portrays a desire to want to be white.

@caseythatcher5 2. Viveca's relationship with her dolls shows us the way she compares herself with her dolls. She has a black doll and a white doll, but she idolizes her white doll. It shows how she has an underlying desire to have skin like the white doll.

[Anna Runnfeldt @AnnaRunnfeldt]

@caseythatcher5 1. At the beginning of the play, Viveca is happy and positive, then by the end, it is apparent how she was treated really negatively effected her.

@EChassman 2. The two families are similar because they are both wealthy and live in the same place. They both care a lot about keeping their family how they want it but they are different because the parents treat Romeo and Juliet differently. #ITD055

[Anna Runnfeldt @AnnaRunnfeldt]

@EChassman 1. It is hard to tell whether or not Romeo and Juliet were truly in love because of how they got together so quickly but I personally do think they were in love because of all the things they did for each other.

@rosielawler1 2. Troy played baseball where he faced a lot of discrimination. He is reluctant to let Cory play football because he doesn’t want him to go through what he previously went through.

[Anna Runnfeldt @AnnaRunnfeldt]

@rosielawler1 1. Troy’s complaint shows he is determined for change and equality. He is fighting for better jobs for black people. The job inequality was common for this time.

@JohnFlaming3 1.The piano held a symbolic meaning of the past and the family's ancestors. It shows how they have evolved over all these years.
2.I would place the piano somewhere visible the entire play to show its significance but don't feel as if it needs to be the main focus the whole time.

1. Where do you think Orthello developed his violent behavior?
2. What is the significance of, “Men make the rules; women follow them?"

[Anna Runnfeldt @AnnaRunnfeldt]

@DaggettReilly 1.The significance is the celebration of child birth. That child birth is a beautiful event.
2.The significance of the global movement V-day is to bring focus to the history of the oppression of women and how it has been carried onto today.

@AAcquanita 1.Ensler wanted to spread the message that vaginas should be a socially acceptable thing to talk about.
2.The significance is that she found herself and her happiness through having a sexual experience.

@MeghanKeating3 Racism is shown through the way Pecola looks at herself. She does not find herself pretty yet idolizes white women. The audience gets to feel her pain and can see how racism has affected her in the way she thinks of herself.

[Anna Runnfeldt @AnnaRunnfeldt]

@mariokierudita @ToniMorrrison 2. Toni Morrison wanted to shine a light onto the racism that young black girls go through. This story also gives a different perspective since we don’t usually hear about racism through the lens of young children.

[Anna Runnfeldt @AnnaRunnfeldt]

@mariokierudita @ToniMorrrison 3. The Bluest Eye translates well into a stage play because of the amount of emotion that can be portrayed through a play over the amount that can be portrayed in a book. To me, I can feel the emotions of characters way better through a play than reading a book.

[Anna Runnfeldt @AnnaRunnfeldt]

@mariokierudita @ToniMorrrison 1. Sam was not included in order to make the main focus on Pecola. I also think his character may not have fit with the main theme of how black girls were treated which was the main point being put across.

[Anna Runnfeldt @AnnaRunnfeldt]

@ccocagne1 The girls wanted to do anything to chip away at the incredible about of racism they were facing. #ITD055
