Act 2

After reading Act 2 I had a better chance to really get to know the characters at a better level. Some of the characters surprised me in their actions while some made me laugh. One thing I thought was funny was when Norman was talking about how he would do the dishes when his Dad came. Even though his dead was not alive. One thing I noticed through this Act was how no matter what they lived their life and always tried to have fun. Never did they ever use their abilities be an excuse for anything they did. They always were laughing, trying to pick up girls, going to the library, and so on. One thing that was sad to me was how Lucien poured out his struggles to the senate. It really made me feel bad for people that have to go through this, but at the same time it gave me a lot of motivation towards thing. I mean I am watching people before me with handicap disabilities step out and do things I would not even do. Now when I see people with this case it makes me really want to help them out because I know they struggle. One thing that I really liked in this act was how Sheila visited Norman. They were just so excited to see each other. Even when Sheila crushed the flower that Norman gave her she wasn’t upset because she cared about him and knew it was an accident. This just shows how much she really does care about each other. I felt bad for Barry throughout the play though. Just knowing that his father wasn’t the best example for him and he was abusive was just sad to hear. Being brought up around that must really not be fun. I have never been in those shoes and could never imagine what he had to go through, but I know I would not want to go through it. In the end, I still respected Jack for doing such great work with the kids. It really takes a lot of heart and love to care for people.
