@Amy86465625 2. She is most similar to Pecola as they both have the desire to be white and have influences all around them. I also connect it with Fences as Cory holds back Troy and doesn't positively influence himself to be better.
@Amy86465625 1. Director Bob does everything he can for Bubbly, accepting her for who she is know matter what, making her feel happy. Her mom is different and pushed her to be and act white, just because she wanted it.
@caseythatcher5 2. Viveca's relationship with her dolls show us how misleading people can be. She acts like she loves both dolls equally in front of her parents yet acts completely different and clearly like the white doll more. She is disgusted when she realizes she is similar to the dolls.
@caseythatcher5 1. Viveca's identity changed from happy and "bubbly" through just smiling and staying positive. The end, the dark scene shows the tough hardships she has gone through and the sad/dark effects it has on a person.
@JennisonLove 2. Romeo messed himself up by rushing everything. If he was "smooth" he would've made different amends and their family tension could've been changed.
@JennisonLove 1. Great question. I believe that our life is so different. The family tension is a bizarre thing and would be settles differently in todays world. Love now is significantly different than love then.
@EChassman 2. Both families are very wealthy living in the same area. They both hate each other over love, yet as we notice once the feud is over and everyone dies, they move on. They are different with how they treat Juliet versus Romeo. She is help back more.
@EChassman 1. Nobody really knows if they truly were in love. With their age being so young and the relationship so rushed, it is always questionable. However, they did act so in love towards the end, it is very convincing.
@TaylorH79205875 2. Juliet is less dynamic as Romeo shows significant more emotion I believe. He will stop at nothing to be with her and o course that could just be the time era between men and women, but Romeo is more dynamic.
@TaylorH79205875 Romeo, a young boy who doesn't know what love really is, acts very immature, devoted, and sincere. He means very well and tries his best, however he does too much to show his feelings toward Juliet.
@lauren_fleniken 2. I completely believe so. They obviously showed they were in love, but also went against all odds to be together. They disgraced their families and snuck around, just to be together and die together.
@lauren_fleniken 1. Juliet was always pressured into marrying and being with Paris that she imagined being with Romeo. This makes her resist her family no matter how persistent they are.
@JarrettHarding4 2. Bernice and Willie both realize that they need money, yet Bernice doesn't want to sell it due to it's value. This causes tension among the family.
@JarrettHarding4 The piano specifically symbolizes strength. The family went through so much just for the piano and to see the beauty of strength on it.
@arflores20 2. The MLB at that time was racist and just involving black people. They told Troy he was "too old", implying him to leave and now his outlook on life is colder and doesn't want to accept anything different.
@arflores20 1. The piano carvings (I am assuming) represent the hardships and experiences the family went through. It shows the significance of the piano and why it means so much.
@JohnFlaming3 2. If I were to place the piano anywhere, it would be in the back corner, the entire play. no need to put it in the center the whole time, but necessary to leave it visible to the audience the whole time.
@JohnFlaming3 1. The piano's symbolic meaning is through the ancestors and how it was created, then sold for two people! It shows how they have been through the ringers, yet are still standing proud.
@rosielawler1 2. Troy is so reluctant to let Cory play football because of his past experiences being ruined. As an athlete, your color of your skin should have no impact, yet it changed Troy's life, as he thinks it will do the same to Cory's.
@rosielawler1 1. Troy complains to Mr. Rand about the racial separation in our society in many aspects, yet alone jobs like being able to drive a garbage truck. It shows Troy wants to protect and fight for black lives throughout the nation.
