The Glass Menagerie

Well this past week, we watched the play "The Glass Menagerie" in class. We were also supposed to read the play. I don't really like plays at all. I think they're boring but this one was a little extra boring to me. The mom (Amanda) also reminded me a lot of the grandma in "A Good Man Is Hard to Find." They were both so annoying, but I think Amanda wins the annoying contest. She was always in other people's business. It's also all her fault that things go wrong, just like it was the grandma's fault that her entire family died. If Amanda hadn't bugged her son to bring a man over for dinner for his sister, his sister wouldn't have gone through all that heartache. Just because she had all those gentleman callers, doesn't mean that her daughter was going to be the same way. Her daughter gets on my nerves too. She's so awkward and shy. She's also too obsessed with her glass. How interesting can glass animals be? That's another reason why I don't like this play. It's back in the day when there was no tv or anything. They didn't really have much things to choose from to do, but I'm sure there was something more interesting than staring at glass animals. She was also a quiter! She dropped out of school because she was getting bad grades. She was probably so worried about all the noise her cast-thing made that she couldn't concentrate in class. She also dropped out of her type-writing class because she got nervous and threw up. She was so embarrassed that she didn't go back. Oh! I also remember that the tuition for her college class was $50! I think that was the part of the play that stuck out the most to me! I wish tuition was that much today!
