On Wednesday May 22nd, I got a chance to watch an amazing play called ‘Kim’s Convenience’, genre being romantic/ drama. This wonderful play, comprised with 5 main characters: Jung, Janet, Umma, Appa/Mr.Kim, and Alex/Mr. Lee/Mike/Rich. Kim’s convenience portrays a family man, Mr.Kim, who runs his own convenience store. He has to kids, Janet, and Jung, the son who does not live with them anymore. Mr. Kim started this business long ago to support his family in hopes of making a secure future for his daughter, Janet. As he is reaching towards retirement, Appa has to face many tough choices. Regent park, where Kim’s Convenience is located is growing fast, with new buildings and bigger and better things, with other better competitors for the convenience store such as Walmart, etc. Appa is trying to convince his daughter Janet to continue his legacy and take over the store but she refuses, and with Jung, Appa’s son who does not live with them anymore, there is no one else left who can take over the store after him. Ins Choi, the writer of this play has done an amazing job creating this very simple yet impactful story. Kim’s Convenience is a story about a family, their dreams, their choices, and their struggles.…

This book was very different than anything I have ever read. I am still deciding whether I liked it or not. It was hard for me to follow because it kept jumping back in forth in time. The first three chapters I hap kept re-reading to focus and grasp what was going on. I was extremely confused and it went from the opening scene in 1931 to Milkman being four years old in one paragraph. I do feel this is a book you need to read over and over again to fully gain an understanding of the messages and symbols the author was displaying through each character. I thought the book was interesting that although it dealt with racial issues and focused on how characters such as Guitar and Milkman had different views of status and discrimination, their was very little mention of white characters in the book. The majority if not all the characters were black decent and it was purely one sided view on how the black race dealt with racial issues in a small town at that time. I think Pilate was a crazy character and I didn't like how long it dragged out to find the true nature of why her relationship was the way it was with her brother Macon Dead Jr. I feel like the author was changing the subject and jumping around so much that you never fully get to know any one character. I didn't like how the author killed Milkman in the end, it was as if you finally made some self discovery and then he jumps to his death. The book just builds and layers and builds, and when you finally feel like you might understand where it's leading three of the main characters die within the last pages. Aside from racial views and Milkmans self discovery from his life as his fathers son, to discovering his family history and where he wants to be in the future, I didn't really connect with any other character in the book, or understand their significance in his discovering…
2. To me the play meant a lot, because it showed the many dysfunctions of families, and consequences if they didn’t resolve them. And I know my family like all families have their problems, and it was funny to relate to the sister, and watch her forget things, because I am always forgetting things, also I play the cello so I guess I found it easier to connect to her because of that aspect. Also I sometimes end up being the voice of reason, when my family tends to get into it, and I am on the sidelines, so I found myself drawn to the son, as he narrated, and how neutral he was about everything, he was the only sane one. And my dad isn’t as bad as Boo or his father, but he likes to have a drink with dinner every night, so it is something that could happen if he drank more, but probably wont. I…
The Characters are so important in this play just like the Protagonist there are three people that are the protagonists in this play and Maggie, brick, and big daddy are the protagonists and they play really good roles in this play to make it look like a very good play. And I think that’s why they made it so good. The Antagonists are Gooper and Mae Pollitt and in this play they are talking about how big daddy don’t want to tell them that he has cancer cause it will just kill the whole family and they won’t know what to do without him. The Supporting characters is the children and them just being in the play and supporting them in whatever they do and whatever they need the children will help with everything. The Minor characters are the servants and they will do whatever they are told anytime of the day so that’s why they are the minor characters in this play.…

Corie Bratter, a newlywed, married only six days at the beginning of the play. She is young, pretty, and full of enthusiasm for the future. Impulsive and fun-loving, she considers herself a doer, not a watcher. Her impetuosity is not shared, at first, by her mother or husband, and they are aghast when she cheers the crazy antics of Victor, a neighbor. Corie eventually learns to appreciate dependability and quiet strength.…
The script seemed very well written. Everything that happened dialogue wise worked very well toward contributing to the next line spoken. There was no confusion at all in the speaking, and it was easy to tell what they were trying to convey when they spoke. The inflections they used with their voice helped contribute toward making the lines and the acting more comprehensible, but I feel that the quality of the script also had something to do with the quality of the acting.…
In the novel Cheaper By the Dozen written by Frank Jr Gilbreth and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey is a memoir about their family's style of living. It talks about how the family worked together as a group helping each other out. It also mentions that the family has a family council in which people do different things like for example a few people are supposed to buy things for the family. If shows that a family should be for each other in everything, for example, in the movie and the novel the father sacrificed his own health for his family. The parents are also very protective of their kids, especially the father because when new trends start coming around the parents will not let the join in on them.…
The conflicts that occur are quite similar to that of modern teen through the fact that the confrontations are both mature and childish were there are numerous violence acts caused over supposed honor but is in fact just an excuse to fight. This two associated factors is what brings about the tragedies if the play, the characters have the maturity to act as though they were adults but yet still childish as to act unnecessarily.…
A main theme that I identified in the play is stressing the importance of obedience in a marriage. It was greatly over dramatized, but the point remains. The theme of possessing obedience is exemplified in several places throughout the movie and script. The best examples are towards the end of the story. One example in particular is the scene in which Petruchio and Kate are returning to Padua. Petruchio points out how brightly the moon is shining, in the middle of daytime. Kate then corrects him, but Petruchio then tells her, “It shall be moon, or star, or what I list.” (Shakespeare). Kate listens and then agrees that the sun is indeed the moon. The reason I have always loved watching plays, and other performance art, is that I love how they…
Not at all what I expected. I loved the story, from beginning to end. I was elated then sad, then elated then sad again. Talk about an emotional rollercoaster. To be utterly poor, to unbelievably wealthy and to hell and back again, all in search of his love. This was a totally cool story. Once I started reading it, I couldn’t put it down. I loved the way the story ended, with each and every one of them, learning to live with what they have and that what little they have is enough, especially after what they had all been through. Thinking one and the other was dead only to find them alive again, and in the end, just learning to appreciate one another’s company and to “cultivate their garden”. All of their life lessons learned, really gave them some introspect as to what life really has to offer and what is truly important to them. This story was amazing. I wanted him to go back to El Dorado if he were able to find his way back. I kept…
