AFFIRMATIONS
I think I've said it before and I'll say it again - Soo-JIn, great work on your willingness to explore your play and its characters, to be such a restless interrogator of your work. You are to be commended and props to Carrie for spurring you on.
As I said in class, I felt the characters become more human in your last bunch of pages. I believed they were a family and one that loved each other despite what they had put each other through. The use of insults now clearly hides or is a defense for the need the characters feel toward each other. Nice work.
I also enjoyed Sunshine steppin' out in these pages and becoming her own woman. I wasn't sure what age she was now, but I really enjoyed her scenes with Denny and their exploration of the world they've been presented with.
I continue to relish the moments when the dialogue seems to be untranslatable Korean.
I like the dad owning a McDonald's. Good change.
Great work, you two!
QUESTIONS
Are Mom and the Rev conducting their affair in the very same McD's that Dad owns?
How does Harriet go from hating the Rev to caring for him in the hospital?
The Rev dirty talk was great - is it only "allowed" in voice mail?
Was the Rev's nickname always "the perv"? Where did it come from? Before or after his attempted molestation? Or was it after the phone call?
OPINIONS
My main affirmation/opinion is that you have presented yourself with so many wonderful ideas and directions for your play this semester. Now you have the luxury of sifting through them and choosing which avenues appeal to you the most and following them. I can't wait to see what happens.
Congrats to you both!
