The play is not about reality itself, but shows elements of extreme realism, and displays perceptions that form the style unique drama.…

    In the novel Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech Sal’s father accuses Sal of “trying to catch fish in the air” (pg. 75) because she was trying to get her father to stop seeing Mrs. Cadaver to get her mother to come back. The author uses this idiom to show that Sal is doing something that is a waste of time because it is impossible to catch fish from the air and it is impossible for Sal’s mother to come back. There have been times in my life when I have tried to do something that turned out to be impossible. For example, yesterday I went to the Oktoberfest in Yorba Linda and there was a silent auction. There was a specific item up for bid that I really wanted. It was a one week rental for a fancy house with eight bedrooms and an ocean view…

    This is seen through the parallels between Lewis’s love life in reality and his love life “on stage” or in the fantasy world created by the institution which exists through the presence of comedy. For example on stage infidelity is treated humorously “in character “it is a trick and emotional turmoil portrayed as comedy. Louis Nowra uses lighting to help enhance the fact that in the fantasy world infidelity is a humorous matter – where all the actors are on stage and suddenly the lights go out, in the commotion and under the cover of darkness we are shown how cherry develops the courage to kiss Lewis, even tho he is in a committed relationship. This technique re-enforces the idea that the institute has a sense of fantasy about it in which acts of infidelity are less impacting and seen as a humorous gesture rather than an act of betrayal. However “Off Stage” in reality Lewis is devastated by Lucy’s acts of infidelity and betrayal, it is evident that they do not share the same views on the concept of “free love”….(Should there be a full stop after betrayal and just leave it at that? Or should I include this…

    Mother continues to fight against Fez’s rules by ignoring meal schedules, holding family picnics of her own, and wishing for her daughter’s happiness. Mother explains that happiness comes from the “right to exercise all kinds of rights, from the right to move to the right to create, compete, and challenge and at the same time could feel love doing so” (118). Mernissi’s father on the other hand is a mixture between the two contrasting dynamics, “he sympathized with Mother, and felt torn between his duty towards the traditional family and his desire to make her happy” (116).
