One thing that really stood out to me compared to TEOGROMITMM was the detail in stage directions. I felt there was more to the set and I could easily see what was supposed to be happening and sometimes I forgot I was reading a play because everything would start to turn into real life scenes and I would forget to put the characters back on stage. Also the emotions were really strong in the story, especially at the end. I found myself getting angry along with Henry at Emerson. I really liked Emerson's son Edward and when Edward and Henry went huckleberrying. When they came back from huckleberrying and Edward was saying that he wished Henry was his father I couldn't help but agree. I was confused though about if Henry had feelings for Lydian or not. It was really cute when Edward came back in with the hen that had gloves on her feet.
I just realized I'm just making a list of thoughts and things I liked so I'll just finish this blog as a list
- "If I were God, Bailey--instead of just a speck of Him--I wouldn't let you die away in the dark."
- I couldn't believe that Emerson killed Henry Williams! I thought Emerson was a good guy but turns out he's just pathetic and doesn't live like he tells everyone else to live.
-The nightmare that Henry had was creepy
- I thought it was really funny when Henry found out his aunt had paid his taxes and then yelled "Aunt Louisa, why couldn't you leave your nose and your false teeth out of my life! I hereby EXCOMMUNICATE YOU FROM THE MILKY WAY!"
Well I think I'm done saying what I wanted to say so see y'all later

I agree, the directions were much clearer for me, too. I agree with the emotions, too. By the way, when I read the title of your post, it made me think of square-dancing, which I'm guessing it wasn't supposed to, but it did. :)
ReplyDeletehahahahahahhaha yeah it made me think of square dancing too!!! :)Oh and I love that quote about his Aunt Louisa!!!
ReplyDeleteThe title made me think of my Southern aunt, but I can see the square dancing in it. I agree on the Aunt Louisa.
ReplyDeleteI also got mad at Emerson, and I could see what was happening so much more than Man in the Moon Marigolds.
